The last few months and more we've been bombarded with political and none political stories in the media pulling many emotional strings; fear, hate, anger, confusion, despair, division etc. Every story told inviting and inciting us to feel a certain way to motivate people into decisions against or for.
One thing I have learned in my young life is we are designed to live by belief, not emotions. Living life by emotions is like living on a roller-coaster.
All the political aside, there is a fire that burns from within, and you my friends in the online world I invite you as a influencer in your world to live by belief. We don't need a platform that puts us in front of many, the most important one we have is our family, friends anyone who comes into our life. It's not about forcing others to believe our way. Rather when we believe in who God is, what's he's done thru his son, and how much we are loved by him, our life becomes following a leading and will naturally, effortlessly and authentically bless those around you.
In 2012 I was so worn out living by what I'd been told to believe, and listen a lot of it was great!, however nothing compares to knowing for yourself. Whether we think about this or not; our schools, media, books, church, people in our life, and you name it are speaking some kind of message. I wanted to know for myself what I believed about God, his son Jesus, what he said about me, about life, family, finances and anything it takes to live. I vividly remember the date that I choose him, I chose life and I chose the blessing. Now I received Jesus as savior in 1992 but what I chose in 2012 changed my identity from a moving target to a rock, and all insecurities, shame, guilt and condemnation now were taken care of on that cross. Life became about living from what he finished.
Belief is a choice, and this belief has become one of if not the greatest tool in my belt.
Belief changes don't happen over night, its a bit like going to school only more organic; follow curiosity, study the areas you have needs or questions about. And best of all follow Gods truth and his love.
Peace. Over n out.
