I decided long ago, never to walk in anyone’s shadow. If I fail, or if I succeed I will always thank God for the blessing that I received. Because the greatest love of all, came from the God up above. If you ever want to know how you will know if He really loves you, look at the Savior that He sent in the form of His son Jesus. Even when you don’t know how you are going to make it, and the world feels like it has gone cold, look for God to be your body guard and soul provider because He will always love you.
Good day to you all! Stop complaining! Take the energy that it takes to form a complaint and find something to be grateful about. Instead of pointing out what is wrong, try to find what is right. You will find that the world around you will be much, much better.
On this Monday morning I would like to report a crime. On this Monday morning I want to report a break in. No, not at your home, and not your vehicle. I want to report that on this Monday morning someone has broken into your heart and they have stolen your joy. Dear Reader, you have been hit by, you have been struck by, a smooth criminal. You have started your day not even knowing that your joy is missing. You have not paid any attention to the fact that you are not smiling. You have not noticed that the only thing that you have been able to focus on, on this Monday morning is all of the bad things. You were at a joy surplus on Friday and now you are waking up to a love deficit on Monday. There is so much for you to be thankful for on this day, but you have been caught up and victimized by a criminal who was so smooth that you didn’t see him coming or going. The thieves in the temple have made you feel that because it is Monday you don’t have a reason to be happy. They have lied to you and told you that just because the job that you went to on this Monday morning is not the job you desire, you should not be thanking God for your ability to work. Yes, Dear Reader the actions of this criminal are intentional and downright cruel, but you must admit he is smooth. He has made you doubt your purpose. He has made you buy into what the world says about you instead of believing what God has for you.
Dear Reader, the good news is that we have identified the thief. Not only has the thief been identified, but we have recovered your stolen items. You can reclaim your love, your joy and your hope anytime you like. Yes today is Monday, and it is the start of a new work week, but I say to you that you should praise Him for the sun that has risen. I say to you that no matter what day of the week it is you should praise Him for His Son that is risen. I want you to know that there is a smooth criminal that wants to take your joy, and silence your praise. He seeks to make you forget about all of the times that God has made a way for you out of no way. He wants you to only concentrate on the last two words, “no way”. However, I want to serve as a reminder that God has not given up on you, and you should not give up on God. You are Blessed And Delivered so you should have a B.A.D. attitude when it comes to that Smooth Criminal who is hanging around your heart, and trying to poison your mind. I say Good Monday to you, I say Happy Tuesday, What it do Wednesday, Thankful Thursday, and Fearless Friday. Don’t let the days of the week control your joy. God is God no matter what day it is. You have been struck by a smooth criminal, God has sent a C.S.I. team to investigate. So the next time the enemy steals your joy, just remember that Christ’s Salvation has Intervened. He has already stepped in and solved the case. God will never leave you without Law and Order. Dear Reader take joy with you. Praise Him always. You are more than a conqueror. Be excited about your future, and reclaim your joy.
You are beautiful, loved, and blessed
John Reed
