I am sitting here staring at my computer trying to think of what to SHARE and was thinking that I must be “…DUMBER than a BOX OF ROCKS…”. Thinking of “…DUMBER….BOX OF ROCKS…” the HOLY SPIRIT brought back to MY REMEMBRANCE a PROFOUND statement “…EVEN THE ROCKS HAVE SENSE ENOUGH TO CRY OUT…” that was made during my weekly gathering with my FRAMILENDS/FRAMILY (remember new word-Family and Friends).
The “…EVEN THE ROCKS HAVE SENSE ENOUGH TO CRY OUT!!!!…“ AFFIRMATION, was made as my weekly gathering with my FRAMILENDS/FRAMILY was ending. We, my FRAMILENDS/FRAMILY (remember new word-Family and Friends), were sharing LIFE’S HAPPENSTANCES and FOR REAL, FOR REAL talking about our fears, doubts, regrets, pride and ignorance in and of the situation. My SUFFERINGS if you will.
I discussed HOW I SUFFERED longer because I WAS ASHAMED TO ADMIT that I DIDN’T KNOW WHAT or HOW THE SUFFERING began. I discussed how I REFUSED to ADMIT that I was AFRAID and HOW I WOULDN’T and in MOST CASES DIDN’T ASK for help to ALLEVIATE THE SUFFERING. I, A CHRISTIAN, DARE NOT CONJURE THE THOUGHT THAT the SUFFERING WAS TOO MUCH for ME. I MEAN, JESUS SUFFERED FOR ME ON THE CROSS and didn’t say a mumbling word. Apostle Paul stated, “…that the SUFFERINGS of this PRESENT time WILL NOT COMPARE to the GLORY that will be REVEALED in US…” I was keeping my SUFFERINGS SILENT, so I thought, to HONOR GOD.
I thought I was keeping my SUFFERINGS SILENT as my body and mind RESPONDED LOUDLY AND BOLDLY through Weight Gain (stomach), high blood pressure, anxiety and depression via isolation and irritability. Where was and is the GLORY for GOD via CHRIST in an unhealthy body and mind? How can I effectively minister about the GOODNESS of GOD when I don’t want or can’t be to be around people due to anxiety? How can I effectively minister about the GOODNESS of GOD when I can barely get out of bed and can’t or don’t want to leave the home due to depression or anxiety? How can I effectively minister about the GOODNESS of GOD when it appears that the praise, prayer and preaching are too long because I am irritable, and quoting Jamie Foxx’s Wanda, “I am “ret” to go!!!!” How can I effectively minister about the GOODNESS OF GOD when my knees have stiffen and I have inflammation coursing through them because I have eaten too much sugar/carbs and gained weight due to depression. Instead of CRYING OUT LIKE THE ROCKS-I GOT SWOLLEN ‘ROUND ‘BOUT MY COLON!!!!
I told my FRAMILENDS/FRAMILY that I looked forward to our weekly gatherings that allows for a safe, nonjudgmental place to share. I told them that I like to live my life as an open book. I typically share my experiences. I don’t share to garner sympathy or pity. I share so that the enemy won’t use them to keep me in bondage and TO BE DELIVERED. My sharing allows someone to testify how GOD via JESUS CHRIST delivered them from what I am going through and SURELY the SAME GOD via JESUS CHRIST WILL DELIVER ME.
COMING ON THROUGH HOLY SPIRIT. IF I AM NOT HIDING ANYTHING, THERE’S NOTHING TO BE EXPOSED (by the enemy).
LET THE REDEEMED OF THE LORD SAY SO!!!!
Meegan, GOD allowed you to BLESS ME when you DECLARED “…EVEN THE ROCKS HAVE SENSE ENOUGH TO CRY OUT…” I REFUSE TO BE DUMBER THAN A BOX OF ROCKS. I REFUSE TO LET THE ROCKS CRY OUT FOR ME in SUPPLICATION and MOST DEFINITELY IN PRAISE AND WORSHIP In addition to our weekly gatherings, I will most definitely…
“…have a little talk with JESUS
tell HIM all about MY troubles
HE WILL HEAR MY faintest cry and I will answer by and by
Now when I feel a little prayer wheel turning
I will know a little fire is burning
I find a little talk with JESUS MAKES it right
I may have doubts and fears my eyes be filled with tears
But JESUS IS a FRIEND WHO WATCHES day and night
Oh, I go to HIM in PRAYER, HE KNOWS MY every care
And just a little talk with JESUS MAKES IT RIGHT
I DECREE…
…NOTHING will separate ME from the LOVE of GOD which is in CHRIST JESUS…”
