unpopular opinion

-
  There’s a popular saying that goes around in church that say that, “God will never put us in situations we cannot handle. Unpopular opinion, He does. I know you’re wondering what l'm on about but let me explain. I have been put in situations l can’t handle for most of my life anyway and when people would tell me that God would never put me in a situation l couldn’t handle it really made me feel like l was weak or l wasn’t praying enough or l wasn’t a strong enough Christian because l would be breaking down, on the verge of collapse, definitely not handling the situation well and someone would say that to my face. Well I don’t think that statement is very accurate at all, it honestly kind of misleading .if you have a different opinion go argue with your mother or just respectfully write your thoughts in the comments Well first of all, His power is made perfect in my WEAKNESS.do you hear that l must be weak for Gods strength to be demonstrated in my life. I must be breaking down

Something on friendship:)

-
I've been thinking a lot about friendship lately more specifically christian friendship. How l can be a better friend ,what it actually means to be a " good " friend. There are so many examples of genuine friendship I'm the Bible so many scenarios where we see the beauty and depth of community and l just thought to my self if l were put in this situation would l have done that for my friends . Would l be selfless enough, gentle enough? Would l sacrifice my time and effort to take my friend to Jesus and lower him through the roof so he would be healed.  Do l take my friends to Jesus for healing or do l watch them living in sin because l don't want to be " that " person. There is one scenario were my friend confided in me ,the friend in question told me about the things they were partaking in their personal lives. Things which were not of Christ, things that were immoral and a sin against God.In a moment were l should have corrected my friend as any good

Faith and feelings

-
 "Now abide in thee, faith, hope and love.” Faith is just so hard. It’s not easy to have faith when you’re facing trials and tribulation. When you’re in the fire waiting for the fourth man to appear it’s just so hard to believe. When you’re in your season of waiting and the miracle hasn’t happened yet. You’ve been praying for day’s week’s months even. You’ve given up and started over and still nothing. I think the best reference anyone can use when talking about persevering through trials is Job. He’s literally the blueprint. The man lost it all and still stuck by God. That’s faith if I've ever seen it.in the third Chapter of the book of Job, he has lost everything, he has sores all over his body he’s at his lowest and you can imagine what he was going through . One day he had it all and the next he had nothing at all.in the third chapter of the book he is cursing the day he was born, there’s so much raw emotion you can feel in each verse. The point l'm trying to drive hom

Do you feel loved by you?

-
 Jesus called us to love everyone like He loved us but can you truly be a vessel of God's love if you don't love yourself? I've been thinking about this a lot lately  at the beginning of the year l made it my goal to love people as Christ loves me, to be a vessel of God's love ,this meant to be patient ,kind ,forgiving ( 1st Corinthians 13:4-5). Honestly   it was harder than expected in fact it is harder than l thought it would  be. Believe me when l tell you that love is hard. Loving everyone like the Bible requires us is a lot of work. So l've  been putting in the effort ,trying to be kinder trying to be "loving" but a few days ago l was scrolling on Instagram and l saw this guy talking about how as Christians we should  love ourselves, it was this whole thing about God taking 9 months to create  us and only 6 days to create the world. Honestly that touched something in me ,how can l talk about loving the people around me when l do not love myself . God
