Red Tails


Praise Him when the sky’s are grey because even when  you can’t see the sun the sun is still there.  Even when there is rain the sun is on the way.  I am so glad that trouble don’t last always.  I am so glad that when my sky’s turn grey, I don’t have to worry about how long the rain is going to last.  My faith tells me that the Son is on the way.  Rejoice in your heart that God has not left you in the middle of the storm.  Brighter days are coming, I promise.

Good Day to you all!  It is ok to fall down, it is not ok to stay down.  It is ok to be upset, as long as you realize that you are being set up.  Forgiveness does not equal relationship so let go of those things that could keep you from being blessed.  Smile today, and always.

I love movies, and over the weekend I went to see a great one.  The name of this movie was Red Tails.  It told the story of the Tuskegee Airmen, a group of black pilots during World War II, and their yearning to fight for their country in spite of racial inequality.  These men fought and died for freedoms that they or their families would not even get to enjoy.  They fought and died for the freedom of generations that they would never meet. Their skills were doubted and their intelligence was undermined. They were brave in the face of danger and they fought on the principle of freedom which finds its self rooted in the foundation of love.  These men had faith.  They paid no attention to what people said about them, they were not influenced by what other people thought of them.  They knew their purpose, and they acted as people who know their purpose should act.  I enjoyed the entertainment, but I loved the underlying message.

Dear Reader, I want you to channel your inner pilot.  There are many goals in this life that people have told you that you cannot reach.  One of those people may be the person that stares you in the mirror.  I want you to know that God’s purpose for your life cannot be undermined.  What God has for you is for you, and there is no one that can defeat you when God is fighting for you.  There may not be something for you to gain.  You may just be there to open the doors for an entire generation.  I want you to know that people are going to doubt your skills.  People are going to doubt your intelligence.  Dear Reader I want you to be encouraged, and fly a little bit higher.  I want you to be encouraged because there is nothing that you can’t accomplish with God on your side. I want you to have faith that God is going to make a way out of no way.  God is going to get you through your mission.  I want to encourage you to pray so that God can reveal your purpose, and then once He has touched your heart, walk with purpose, and act like people you know their purpose act.  You are on your way to greatness as you fight for your spiritual freedom that is rooted in the foundation of God’s eternal love.  Keep your head up and don’t give up Dear Reader, your mission has just started.

You are beautiful, loved and blessed


John Reed
