Don't Blame the Cage

I want to congratulate everyone for making it as far as you have!  There is greatness in each and every one of you, so make the most of what you have the ability to do.

This is the day that the Lord has made!  Let us rejoice for every good thing that that we have around us, and pray about the rest.

The Florida Panther is a magnificent creature that roams the forest area’s of Florida.  They are strong and beautiful animals that are not only fierce on the ground, but they also have the ability to climb.  When I was a small child I remember going to a small zoo in south Florida and toward the back of the zoo there was a very large Panther in a very small cage.  There was just enough room for the panther to walk around, but he was unable to move the way that he was used to moving. Research has shown that if an animal is caged for too long, that animal will be too unsure of himself to go back into the wild.  What was once a place of captivity, has become home.

Dear Reader on this Wednesday afternoon I want you to know that God is opening up the door to the cage that is keeping you captive.  If you have made your cage your home, that’s your choice.  However, if you start to feel the a little cooped up, don’t blame the cage.  We all have our dreams and sometime we get caught up in where we are instead of making our way to where we should be.  Prayer is the key to what has you imprisoned.  When you gain relationship with the Master there is nothing, or no one that can get in your way.  You will find that you are an unstoppable force with unlimited potential when you are walking with the favor of God on you.  You are strong and you are beautiful and there is nothing that will be able to keep you from climbing to the top.  With God there is nothing that you cannot accomplish.

You are beautiful, loved and blessed
