Seriously… too many nails sticking out of our floor.
I mean this literally. There LITTERALLY are too many nails popping out of our floor. You see we live in this small one bedroom apartment that is ancient!! I think it is from the early 1900 with original hardwood floors, with of course… nails sticking out. They are those things that just keep catching you off guard or actually hurting you. It’s those things that you know are there yet you still seem to step on them even just walking to the table to blog. NAILS IN THE FLOOR… NOT FUN.
Some of you may have heard that God only blesses those who do good or who don’t sin. God is the guy who is the nail sticking out of your floor. He is the holy man that only LOVES you by what you do and If you don’t do what he says, he’s going to make you crash your car or kill a family member. He wants you to be PERFECT. This God that many of you have heard of, is NOT the God that is all LOVING, all nurturing, all caring. Key word here people is ALL.
A-L-L………. ALL
POPPA, DADDY, GOD LOVES us ALL.
Guys he doesn’t just LOVE the Christian community, he loves the Catholics, Buddhist, Jewish, Jehovah Whiteness, the homeless, orphans, prostitutes, truck drivers, McDonalds peeps, billionaires, etc.
KEY WORD HERE?
A-L-L………..ALL
GOD LOVES YOU. Yes YOU, the one who is reading this right now, I’m talking to YOU.
YOU are beautiful, handsome, pretty, LOVED, cared about, important, smart, a conqueror.
You’re not that nail sticking out of the ground that everyone hates. YOU ARE LLLLOOOVVVEEEDDD!
It doesn’t matter what friends, or family members say, you ARE LOVED, and you know what? That never changes…EVER.
TOO BLESSED TO BE STRESSED!
You know, I’ll be honest, I have been stressing a little bit about finances, not just for the WR but for personal things as well. Yes I know I’m too blessed to be stressed but sometimes I just need to be reminded of that. Poppa is a dude that I can trust. He’s not the nail in the floor God that is waiting to stick me with pain, he’s LOVING, not only are we his helpers, but he is ours.
So in this case… I am WAY to blessed to be stressed.
I know this might have ran on and on, but you can never tell someone too much about God’s goodness. Killing sacred cows is the best =).
