First Things First






If you are familiar with God and His holy word, you know God comes first; God , Jesus, the Holy, Spirit, comes before all else, following ones mate, children, family, and jobs of any type or form, whether paid or volunteer. Yet, if you are reading the words I am writing you have know doubt had some heartaches thus far in life, and heartaches tend to allow the women of God to form unforgiveness, sometimes we know the unforgiveness is there and sometimes we have simply put it out of our minds yet through many ailment's the body shows the affects of unforgiveness as does the order of which we serve God.

Many times we as women put on a smiling face even though inside we feel a mess. I bring you comforting words to let you know that God is faithful and just to restore balance to your life. First things first reminds women to look to the scriptures of the Holy Bible of the importance of women and how precious women are to God.

Becoming a woman of Beauty and strength

Taking inventory of our own lives can at times seem painful,but remember as we let God work on us first we can then begin allowing God"s word to heal, restore, and bring balance to all areas of our lives.

Forgiveness

What does the scripture say about forgiveness?

Jesus instructs Peter (Mathew 18:21-22) to forgive seventy times seven daily.

God says, in Ephesians 4;33 Be kind to one another, tender hearted , forgiving one another, just as God in Christ forgave you.

Not forgiving in trap's a person in bitterness and hatred, two actions which can cause a stronghold to lay hold within an individuals life.God wants you to fulfill your God given destiny and move in all he has for you, not forgiving can keep you at a stand still, when God desires for you to move. In one of Stormie Omartian's books, she speaks about the importance of forgiveness and how forgiving allows the Holy Spirit to work in you and through you. Forgiving others releases you to enjoy all of God's blessings.

When I walked to the back of my house and see the door to the cellar I am reminded of the stored items which are by no means stored in an orderly fashion. When me and my husband moved into our home last year many items where placed in bags or boxes and put down in the cellar, even though much of the items stored were of no use anymore.

How many of you can look into your storage area or garage and see items of no use taking up space? Even looking into that one designated, anything goes, junk drawer, brings my thoughts to what I have that is of no use and taking up space where I could place something much more appealing and useful.

Much like unused items taking up space individuals(I speak about myself as well), have stored away behaviors, attitudes, unhealthy mind sets and/or behaviors within themselves. Some items we know are boxed away, other's we have forgotten are there.


Let's Pray

Father I come before you in Jesus name, and ask that you remove from within me anything that I have stored and know about, or what I have forgotten about that serves you no purpose. My attitudes, behaviors, beliefs, mindsets, grudges, failures, whatever I have stored not pleasing to you remove them and replace them with useful works for you., in Jesus name, I thank you Holy Spirit for guiding me and helping me through this cleansing process. Amen
