      DESTINED TO WIN

      38863.png

      H AVE YOU EVER FELT LIKE LIFE was spiraling out of control? That no matter what you do, you just cannot get it right. It is time to stop thinking like that. If we are destined to win, we must let negative thoughts go. And allow our destiny to manifest in our lives. Ecclesiastes 3:1 KJV state, To everything there is a season and a time to every purpose under heaven. Which means in our lives we all have seasons we have to overcome. It can either be a blessing or a lesson. There are people/things in our lives that are only meant for a season that we try to hold on to. You cannot force things to happen that was not meant to be.

      We must learn how to let go of things that hold us back. It may hurt for a time but believe me in the long run it will be well worth it. God does not give us more than we can handle. He loves us unconditionally. Let him in and God will work wonders in your life. God loves us so much; he allows us to make our own decisions good or bad. Even though he already knows what we will do or say. He is there for us, just call his name. God only wants the best for his children. Even when we make mistakes, he will help us through. Trust him, God will never let you down.

      When we decide not to listen to the wisdom of God, we block our own blessings. Why do we do that? The fear of the unknown can hold us hostage. We must stop letting fear and doubt cloud our better judgement. Take a leap of faith. When God closes one door, he opens another one better than what we could ever imagine. Too many of us get stuck on the past. We hold onto past hurts, grudges, disappointments, and heartbreak too long. Let it go and let GOD heal your heart. He is the answer to all our troubles. Keep your faith and trust in GOD.

      In Genesis, Adam, and Eve disobeyed God, then lost his favor. But he still loved and provided for them. Do not think he would not do the same for us. No matter how many times we may mess up. God loves us unconditionally. Ask for forgiveness and be set free. We are all God’s children and he wants the very best for us. There will be times when he needs to break us, so he can show us that all we need is him in our lives. No one said our road would be easy. But having God in our lives during the difficult times makes it easier. God always has our backs. He is awesome.

      God will show us what we need to see, even if we decide not to listen. We must make the choice to take ourselves out of that toxic situation. Or we will just keep repeating the same cycle repeatedly. Do you know how much heart break we could avoid if only we listened to our gut more? If we just paid attention to the signs that we choose to ignore. We get too comfortable in our dysfunction. It is time to stop living like that. Let go and let GOD.

      Get out of that toxic relationship. You have been living miserable for years because you are afraid of being alone. Leave that job that does not bring you joy. Step out on faith and start that business you always wanted to. God will get you through it. Just believe that you can do it and it will be done. Be bold and courageous. Take heed to all warning signs. And always remember actions speak louder than words.

      In the world today, people do not know what respect, loyalty and honesty is. There is no real integrity anymore. Men and woman lie to each other just to get what they want. The word commitment is extinct. Everyone wants variety instead of being with just one person. Relationships/friendships must be based on trust, loyalty, love, and communication to make it work. You should have the same beliefs and morals too. Unequally yoked people cannot succeed in a relationship. It is a real rare occasion if you can find someone that will be honest and love you unconditionally. Men and women both throw the word love around like it is a piece of candy. Be upfront with what you want. Communication is key.

      With relationships, put God first that will always work out for the best. Treat others the way you would like to be treated. Relationships based on lies or just sex will not work either. It may be fun for a little while, but someone will get hurt. We want things quick; no one has any real patience anymore. Today it is all about social media. You must meet people online, chat on Facebook or Instagram. Can you even remember the days when you met someone at the mall and talked on the phone? Everything must be done through text messaging these days. These are crazy times.
