J.S.D

  “Worrier or Warrior it’s your choice.” We will never have all the answers, it is impossible to know what tomorrow holds for any of us, but it takes Faith to manifest the impossible. For man it is impossible to command a Mountain to move, it may seem impossible to command that Struggle or problem to vanish, for man complete Healing and Restoration may seem impossible but with God and for God nothing is impossible because we serve a God who makes the impossible POSSIBLE. We serve a God who makes the worrier into a Warrior's. If you cannot have Faith as small as a mustard seed, at least have faith as big as a grain of sand because we my friend, We serve a God who even when my family and I lost our home 9 years ago never let us sleep on the street, He makes room for us in the homes of others. We serve a God who even when my family had no money, God never let us go hungry or thirsty.   We serve a God who even though my father has 3 blocks for his heart yet God keeps my ...

“Do not let your Faith be shattered.”   No matter how bad it looks, don't let your Faith be shattered, the devil circles the drain hoping that you fall in it but as my mom said today "Think that the devil is dead, he has dug a pit and has fallen into it and he can do you no harm." The devil may try to break you but do not let him keep you down, do not give him the satisfaction of thinking that you are defeated because you have an Unconquerable Spirit. One doubt, a fear, a feeling less than, a random thought, one worry or stressful moment, a few hiccups, a few setbacks that's all it takes for you to doubt yourself and question God's timing and plan for your life but every small test makes way for a Bigger Blessing so don't give up just yet, you may not see it yet but God's working a miracle just for you. God will move Mountains, just for you and satan does not like us holding onto Hope, satan does not like it when we smile in the midst of Struggle, sa...

  “Thank God for the small things, Thank God for the Tiniest of Blessings.” We may not always see it manifesting but rest assured God is working. It is easy to jump from Hopeful to hopeless, it is easy to talk ourselves into defeat. It is easy to give into those thought's where all seems lost and we feel forgotten. You can talk yourself into defeat or walk yourself into a Blessing. But first, you must move, you must put in the little work you can and then be willing to surrender it to God's plan for your life. You cannot be successful at everything but there is something   that only you can do, a challenge only you can rise up to, a boulder which only you can roll, a lake which only you can swim across. Circumstances change and so do people but God's Word is a firm foundation. Many of us are waiting, but you can go from "Waiting on it to Walking in it" in a few minutes, but while we wait we pray, we endure, we hope, we seek, we plead, we ask for divine i...

We surround ourselves with a lot of people but How many of them can we truly depend on? That is a question we must ask ourselves. There are people who support us, there are those who we support and then there are those who we support but none of them are to be found when we need their support the most. We call these People friends, family, colleagues, lovers etc. But no matter what you call them, we must ask ourselves how many of them contribute to our growth. We must ask ourselves, How many of them would pull us up if we fell down. So, Have You surrounded yourself with people who help Lift You Up or People who Pull You Down? Acts 3:6–7, NIV "Then Peter said, “Silver or gold I do not have, but what I do have I give you. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, walk.” Taking him by the right hand, he helped him up, and instantly the man’s feet and ankles became strong." Do the people you call friends support your growth. Do the people you believe in also believe in you. At tim...

    “There is Hope for your Future.”   No matter how bad things are, there is always hope. Without hope it is impossible to survive, without hope it is impossible to dream of a better tomorrow. Hope is what we hold onto, be it as we look for a job or wait for help to arrive,  We Hope. We have Faith and We Pray that our needs are met. But in order for Hopes and dreams to be fulfilled Kindness, Patience and Understanding must always be present. Yes God blesses us through miracles but there are times when our blessings reach us through the hands and hearts of those around us. Asking for help, takes courage but as soon as one ask Hope creates and invisible thread, that one tread holds all emotion, it waits in Anticipation for a yes it waits knowing that if the person on the other side can be kind to me I know that my Hope my need will be fulfilled. We hope for many things from many people. We hope for many things from God. We hope and keep hoping. A bet...

  “You will seek me and find me when you search for me with all your heart.” Jeremiah 29:13     It is not in the words of men but in the words of God, that we find hope. It is not in the kindness of people but in the mercy of God, that we find joy and lasting peace. It is not in the works of others but in our own works that we find purpose.   Who can make such a promise? Who can promise to restore all that was lost? Man has no such power, words spoken but promises never kept.   Many of us are searching for God out in the world, we are searching for God in places and things, we are searching but God himself reminds us that we do not need to go looking very far, if we are willing to look within ourselves, if we are willing to look with eyes of faith and humbleness God can be found dwelling within the walls of our own heart.   A man travels the world in search of peace, he travels the world in search of happiness and for a moment, he is...
