The Bold And The Beautiful


God has given you everything that you need to do what He has for you to do.  The only thing that is missing is your action.  Get up and move.  Move towards where you should be.  Get up and take what you have with you, and I guarantee that you will find everything that you are looking for.  Windows pouring out blessings will be opened, and doors will open up and lead you to opportunities that you have been waiting for.  I urge you to keep your faith in the Lord and watch what happens next.

Good day to you all!  I hope that you are starting our your week full of hope!  God has promised that He is going to be there to deliver you, so why fear, and why worry!  Use that energy to be a blessing to someone else.

As a child I remember my mother watching soap operas during the day. He favorites were All My Children and General Hospital.  I have never been a fan of the show, but I do know that there are some who take them very seriously. Once I overheard two woman who were having a deep discussion about someone who was cheating on their husband, and the wife found out, but she was staying in the marriage because she did not want to leave the luxurious lifestyle that she had.  After listening a little closer, I found out that they were discussing an episode of days of our lives.  I know that sometimes our real lives can seem like a  soap opera, but if I had to pick a title of a soap opera that I would want to be on it would be The Bold and the Beautiful.  There was a time in my life when I can honestly say that it would have been the Young and the Restless, but in my life and in my faith, I would say that the Bold and the beautiful, would fit me just fine.  Understand that I learned to be bold when it came to my faith in God. I have learned to read the word and use it as a point of reference.  Jesus has become the cornerstone on which everything in my life shall be built.  I have learned to see the beauty in all that God has placed around me.  There was a time when I was young in my faith, and I was restless.  I had not studied, and I had no faith.  I knew the word, but I was not sure how it applied to me.  I was Young and Restless.

Dear Reader there is nothing wrong with being Young and Restless, as long as you don’t stay that way.  Grow in your knowledge of God, and you will find that not only will you pray, you will pray with the expectation that God is going to do what He said that He will do.  You will start to understand the beauty that is in you, and the beauty that is around you.  Dear Reader you only have One Life to Live so you might as well make it good.  You might as well find as many reasons to smile as you can because you are made in His image and He is an all powerful, and all knowing God, who is faithful and just.  Smile Dear Reader because He will provide all of your needs. Smile Dear Reader, and go about your day being the Bold, and Beautiful creation that you are!

You are beautiful, loved, and blessed
