Just some thoughts

Its amazing to me that no matter how far God distances us from our past, we run right back to it.
It amazes me how we preach a word we don't live.
It amazes me how we do the exact same thing and expect a different result.
It amazes me how many of our leaders are getting so caught up in their ministry that they forget whats important, people.
It amazes me where we lay our priorities sometimes.

It amazes me how God loves. God'd love is truly a too good to be true kinda love. The great thing about it is that it is true. God's love keeps no record of my past. God's love propels me into a sucessful future. God's love gives me joy. God's love comepletes me. God's love is truly unconditional. God's love is a gift. We can never repay God for His love. God's love is second to none. God's love should be how we love. Unconditionally, understanding, caring, kind, forgiving, longsuffering and all that jazz.

God's love is truly unfathomable. We are unable to comprehend it in our natrual minds. God's love does not condem. God's love is available to you.

Do you want it?

A message from My friend :-)

Christianity in chains…..
Bible says, that where the Spirit of the Lord is there is freedom
Some Christians say, what you did in the past is not forgotten
Bible says that in Him you are a new creation
Some Christians say that the new is just the old, in a new formation
Bible says, we are whiter than snow
Some Christians say your sins are for the world to know
Bible says that your conscience has been cleared
Some Christians say that you’re an individual to be feared
Bible reveals that gossip is like gangrene
Some Christians say, it’s the only way the truth can be seen
Bible says go forth and sin no more
Some Christians have portraits of what you did before
Thus I’ve come to one grave conclusion
That sometimes Christian people create the greatest confusion
Refusing to let go of someone’s past
Always regurgitation scenes from and old cast
I wish that love will always reign
And that some people wouldn’t feel like Christianity in chains
I wish that we will learn always to forgive
And not allow God’s love to pass through us like a sieve
You see when we gossip, we hurt so many
And we taint the true tenets of Christianity
We make others feel that there is no resolution
And that they’re the only ones who fell to sins seduction
But I thank God for the Cross and for Calvary
That lets us know that we do have victory
So if today you heart has been broken
Just know that in Christ you have been chosen
Chosen to walk the life of Christianity…..
Christianity in chains…Hmmm No Beloved
Because as a Christian, you are FREE!

Who I am

I'm learning daily who I am. You see before others defined who I was and the minute I realised it my relationship with those peope changed. I for too long depened on people to define who I was. I allowed them to shape my attitude and my appearance. I allowed them to tell me how to dress, how to act, how to exist. I allowed persons to 'dictate my pace'. Sad but so true. I am learning everyday how to think for myself. How to form my opinions and make my own decisions. I am learning that based on what I choose to believe ad stand for I will lose friends. I will be pesecuted, I will be frowned upon but I will be happy. I will be happy because I now allow God to dictate my pace. I no longer have to depend on others to give me purpose. I can be confident in who I am and who holds my future. I am learning everyday who's opinion really counts. If God is fine with me and created me this way then i am too. I refuse to change who I am and what I believe based on your perception of who I should be. I am learning everyday that I am different. I am not like you and will never be.

So I am Nataki Aatifa Lendor. I am strong, intelligent, bold, loud, assertive, passionate and much much more. My God created me this way and I will not change for anyone. It is time we accept who God created us to be and stop trying to be who others perceive us or want us to be. If God wanted us to all be the same he would have created us that way.

We in turn need to quit trying to make others into who we perceive them to be but view them as God sees them. A diamond in the rough who's purpose is just as important as ours. 

I am learning everyday who I am and who God wants me to be. Who are you?
