It was 4:34am, this morning on July
20th, 2014, when I woke up in my cousin's house in Long Island, New York.
I got my brother and sister up, got dressed and drove back to Queens. On
that ride, I had a well-needed meditation on the ride home:
God is God. Let's
not ever forget that great detail that changes everything, as we humanly know
it to be. Reading Psalms 103, only reminds me who my God is: The One who
forgives all my sins, the One who heals all my diseases, the One that lays waste
to my enemies and lifts me up in triumph— all with the same hand. Look, so far I've lived
a hard life... full of rejection, hate, anger, no forgiveness, lust, pain,
backstabbing, sorrow, loss, depression and self-loathing. Believe me, I should
have kids, diseases, anger, hate, scars, no achievements, a record, but I don't
by His grace and honestly... Lord knows I should be dead. Many times. Many
times I've narrowly evaded death's swift hand, for God's hand is swifter and
mightier... I should have died with all those things listed above, but I know
God has a plan for me, hence the gifts I have, the family I love, the woman I
love, and the purpose I was given. I may lack friends, but I realize this is
part of the cross that I've been dealt and as I lay it on my shoulders, I
embrace all that I am to be. All to His glory in the very end— That has to be the
mindset, lest it be all in vain.
2 Peter 1:3-11 says
that Jesus gave us EVERYTHING to live a godly life and He also distributed
personal promises to us that we may partake in His heavenly nature while living
on this evil and barren world. We are Misfits and this is the beginning of an
ending soon to come. It starts with us... But even more so, it starts with YOU,
it starts with ME. Let's go get something that will transcend time into the
vastness of eternity. God bless you.
With Love and Blessings,
Cease The Messenger
