Come As A Child

Hello:

Long time no write! Motherhood certainty keeps one busy that's for sure. But I wouldn't change it for nothing of this world. It is by far the best and most important job I will ever have. I am still here, not so much everyday or week, but I promise to visit and write every month. I do want to encourage everyone to write comments or questions if you want to or have the chance.

The day before yesterday my mother and I were playing with my five (5) month old daughter, Angelina, and we both recognized how trusting she was with us. Now, my mother has this beautiful hunter green marble flooring in her living room, and it does not provide padding if one should fall. But Angelina is not worried about the floor; she doesn't have a care in this world. She doesn't worry about where her next meal will come from or if she will have shelter. She expects when she cries (that's how she communicates) that her need (whether hunger, diaper change or affection) will be granted. Well, God wants us to be just like that with Him. He wants us to come to Him as a child would. If you tell your child that you will take him/her to the amusement park this weekend, they believe that you are going to take them. They don't worry and say 'Did momma really mean she's gonna take us to the amusement park or was that just a good thing to say to keep me happy??' No, children believe and the receive that you will take them to the amusement park this weekend. They begin to mediate on what rides and games they will play. They begin to speak out of their mouths, by telling their friends, that they are going to the amusement park. They have settle it that what momma has said is true. The child has his/her expectation (faith) that you will come through for them. As a matter of fact when you told the child the events of the weekend, they received it then! But somewhere along the way we grew up........We got alittle wiser of the world and began to have ideas of our own. Ways to do things our way to get the results we want. Somehow along the way of growing up we stop trusting. We began to trust only that which we can see, feel, taste, touch and hear. If it's not tangible, our mind couldn't fully grasp or trust it. Somewhere along the line we decided that in some things we can do it ourselves without God's help. But we should acknowledge God in all our ways; this is the world of the Lord. We need to get back to that child like faith in God. That if He said, He will do. There's nothing anyone or anything that could happen to make me believe differently. When we pray to God, we must settle it without a shadow of doubt that He can and will do it for us. There are things that I've prayed for and have seen God come through for me. I walked those things out. I came through victorious! But there are some things that go on that I have to ask God to help my unbelief. It's not that I don't think God can it! It's just that the situation or circumstance seems to big for me, and I've got to constantly keep the Word of God before me. There tried to be a problem with Angelina's skin, and this is an area of life that I haven't dealt with. Yes, I've prayed and agreed with others for their children and seen them recover, but this is my child. This problem was staring me in the face 24 hours day literally. Fear tried to take over. I would pray and when words would fail me I would pray in the spirit. I was constantly telling God that I know that His Word is truth, and it's the only truth that's in my life. I was saying by the stripes of Jesus Angelina was healed. I asked the Lord to help me; I told Him 'Lord, you know I know and believe your Word. I am asking you to do it right now for me. I don't know what do, but I choose to believe that you have come through for my daughter'. And he did. Sometime things we go through are so near and seem to over tower us, but greater is He that is in us than he that is in the world. We have got to meditate on God's Word.............get down in our spirit. Humble yourself and come to Him like a child - "I can't do it without you Lord." I will always encouraged you to get in God's Word; get in your spirit. Things might be going well now, but as my mom says, 'Live alittle longer.' When the storm comes, you'll have the Word on the inside of you to tear down the forces of the enemy with the Sword of the Spirit which is God's Word.

Did you put your armor of today????
