Nobody's Perfect



Philippians 3:12

"Not that I have already obtained it or have already become perfect, but I press on so that I may lay hold of that for which also I was laid hold of by Christ Jesus."

Understand this people, nobody's perfect! Just because you decided to give your life over to God, doesn't mean you will suddenly walk away PEEFECT. Your imperfections, character flaws, and personality issues actually will be put on blast! 

I'm afraid the influx of social media attention we have experienced has caused perfection to book appearances everywhere. Don't let social media fool you. You know what else I found out, the ones who choose to limit what they share are the ones that seem perfect. And I'm one of them. I'm not perfect. I have panic attacks when I'm stressed. I throw tantrums when something don't seem right. I get depressed when I don't feel appreciated. I get depressed when I'm restless. Hell, I get depressed!

Keep pushing the RIGHT wrong buttons and you'll see the ugly vicious side of me. I hate being pegged wrong. I'm obsessive compulsive to an extent. I don't pray everyday. (Say whaaaat?) God is my everything but I don't mind talking about other things. Sometimes I don't feel like encouraging nobody. Matter of fact sometimes I don't feel like being bothered so I'll hide if I have to, to keep from explaining my antisocial behavior. I can curse like a sailor lol I often wonder if I'm bipolar. My therapist tried to talk me into taking drugs. DENIED! I stopped going to her because I felt I was smarter than her bwhaaaaaa!!! Yes I had a therapist. 

I struggle with self esteem every now and then. My confidence wanes from time to time. Typically if I change my profile pic to something other than my face it's a tell tale sign I'm experiencing some form of catharsis (emotional release) So yeah sheMEher ain't perfect KAPEESH?  

What am I sayng? NOBODY'S PERFECT! I mentioned this in my sermon back in September that perfect people don't fit into God's perfect will. You waste a huge amount of time trying fit your squares into circles by focusing your attention on superficial wordly perfection. God doesn't need your perfection. He needs your willingness to be exploited! Believers who are exploited by God are perfect vessells to win souls into the kingdom! My pastor reminded us that God doesn't want us to be perfect. He just doesn't want us to be FAKE! Once you get the concept in your head that NOBODY'S PEEFECT, stop looking at other people, and start looking at God, you are then a perfect candidate to be used for God's perfect will.

 1 Peter 5:10

 After you have suffered for a little while, the God of all grace, who called you to His eternal glory in Christ, will Himself perfect, confirm, strengthen and establish you.

Strawberry Crush

Have you ever developed a crush for someone? How did you feel? How did you respond to this feeling? Did you challenge it? Did you explore it? Did it ever go away?  I remember my first crush. I was in first grade when I met Calvin. He was the cutest light bright I'd ever seen. My teacher caught on and would actually allow us to sit together. We would enjoy our innocent times, him making me laugh and me sharing my snacks. I loved him before I even knew what love was. But Calvin was a bad boy. He got in trouble a lot. I would take up for him too. But one day I would not be able to see him again because he moved away and transferred to another school. My heart was torn in half as I would miss him for a while.  That was about 24 years ago. Since then I've had a few crushes. None of them really went anywhere but to a disappointing dead end. Which has provoked me to seek understanding of what does "having a crush," really mean. In all honesty, having a crush on so...

The Effectual Fervent Prayer

I am convinced that there is no such thing as an unanswered prayer. I believe I’ve touched on this before in an earlier post. But I’ve received some new revelations to add to my case. 2 Corinthians 1:20 For no matter how many promises God has made, they are "Yes" in Christ. And so through him the "Amen" is spoken by us to the glory of God. So does this mean that every prayer we send up, God says “Yes” to? Well, I must inform you, that it’s a little more complicated than that. Yet, it’s  not at all hard to understand. There is a three part transaction in this entire process. First we have OUR PRAYERS. Second, we have GOD’S PROMISES. Third, we have THE AMEN.” Yo, I’m so excited to explain this in full!  YOUR PRAYERS: The desires and issues of your heart are the language behind your prayers. Whatever interferences your heart experiences (that rhymes! Lol) determines the kind of prayer that you lift up to God. God will ALWAYS answer the prayer. Th...

When A Man Findeth...

  Proverbs 18:22  "Whoso findeth a wife findeth a good thing, and obtaineth favour of the Lord." Current mood: I have some splendid news! Last week one of my colleagues was inspired to restart her blog after almost 4 years! I'd been trying to get her to do this since we'd met. Nothing like picking up something you left behind and realizing it's one of the things that you've always needed.  That sounds like a word. Then one of my homeboys called me on Valentine's day and solicited my wisdom for proposing to his long time girlfriend. He was a little nervous about what her response might be. I basically told him that he needed to prepare himself more to be emotionally and mentally available for her once they say, "I do." As opposed to trying to brace himself for rejection. I also informed him that marriage does nothing but magnify what has and hasn't been dealt with prior to a couples' nuptials and exposes anything that...
