Good Evening, Everyone:
Have you ever felt like the devil is "working overtime" to ruin your life?
If so, don't sweat it. You're not alone. We've all been there at some point in our lives. Sometimes life forces us to sift through garbage in order to discover what's truly meaningful. From time to time this process can be painful. Your feelings of hurt and anger are justified. You're human, not a robot! Acknowledge your feelings. Ask God to help you get over them and move on. Life still has a lot to offer. Always count your blessings!!!
I'm no biblical scholar, but Jesus in Matthew 7:15-20 teaches us in very simple terms how to use discernment. He uses fruit trees to demonstrate his point. Don't be deceived by outer appearances. Anything that is worthwhile will bear good fruit. Bad things don't. Life is a process of learning and refinement. There are times in which you can learn the most profound lessons from bad experiences. We're living in an age in which all is not as it seems. Sometimes it takes a catastrophe to serve as a "wake up" call. If you survive, count your blessings!!!
Always remember the Laws of Karma. In Eastern philosophy, this is simply another way of saying, "you shall reap what you have sown". It's always tough to do good deeds when things are not going well. Just keep on keeping on and the Universe will not forget. More than likely you'll get a break when you need it most and least expect it. Those who don't always get what's coming to them whether they admit it or not. I'm a witness, I've seen it too many times to count! THERE IS A GOD! ALWAYS COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS!!!
I will end this discussion with a lovely passage from Numbers 6:22-27. May You All Be Blessed!
The Priestly Blessing
May Peace Be With All Of You,
Sistah Selah

The Priestly Blessing
22 The LORD said to Moses, 23 "Tell Aaron and his sons, 'This is how you are to bless the Israelites.
Say to them:
24 " ' "The LORD bless you and keep you;
25 the LORD make his face shine upon you and be gracious to you;
26 the LORD turn his face toward you and give you peace." '
27 "So they will put my name on the Israelites, and I will bless them."May Peace Be With All Of You,
Sistah Selah
