Hope Faith Michelle: Don't try to be who the world wants you to be, but rather be who God has called you to be. You see, societies perception of us is often and majority of the time way too bleak. When we take our focus off Christ we start to fall down in defeat, so...societies perception of us should never stand in our way of us beong who God has truly called us to be. If the world hates you because you choose to be moulded by the sculptor, than don't be discouraged by their words of hate and rejection, but rather rejoice in the TRUTH that's is God's forever living word of TRUTH. Don't conform to the ways of this broken and wicked world but be transformed by the Word of God and, let the sculptor be the one to mould you into a beautiful masterpiece. "EXPECTATIONS" So emotionally distraught by the weight I carry from the numbers on a scale the size of my clothes, you say I got to lose all this weight don't you know that's hurting me?, you say I'm not beautiful, that I'm not good enough, and for many years I have carried all of this emotional baggage, expectations. Always trying to please you, always trying to do what's right, always tried being what you wanted me to be, but I stumbled and I fell, tripping over every word of hate. Cos the pressures all too real, and your love runs cold, I've never felt your warm embrace, and your never satisfied until you've cut me down. I tried so hard not to cry, but it got so hard to do, I tried to let gonog the pain but, I never knew that letting go would hurt this bad and, everytime it got more and more worse, it got too much to bare. So I started falling apart, I started breaking and I started seeing myself in a negativity light. I believed in all the lies, satan tackled my mind with thoughts of doubt and dispair. Discouragement is all that I felt, scolded by years of abuse, a target was painted on my back, I've never seen myself any other way but a failure. So afraid of failure, so afraid of being wrong and making mistakes, in fear of being beaten. Curse words spoken whenever I make a mistake like a sinking ship hitting an iceberg, you never see the good in me always reminding me of my past. You never see the good in me, you only wanna see me fail, and now you wonder why I don't talk to you about anything, instead I hide away...hiding my heart away cos I'm so tired of it been broken, and no wonder how I got here in the first place, but it doesn't have to be like this forever no, and fear has always held me down and. And how I long to be so much more than this cos...who I am today is not who I want to be no cos...I long to be whole and I long to be free, to be heard, my heart is aching and broken. Who I am isnfar from where I need to be, who I am today is far from who I am called to be...and so I ask, who will come and take hold of my hand?, who will be there to catch me when I fall?, to dry my eyes and wipe away every single tear I cry. I never thought that I was good enough, everyday so it seemed was getting more and more bleak, always on outcast...never had any real friends always bullied told to shut my mouth. Always felt like I didn't belong, I just wanted to belong but. I know now that this cold and perverse world is not my home, in loving arms of God Almighty I belong, to Christ I am beautiful, to Christ I am worth it, to God I choose to look upon, I choose to be free. Instead of been dead in an ocean of deep sins and regret, for I know that I am loved and I am forgiven much. No longer will I wait...for there is still things to do and see, I am already cherished, I am held by the arms of Jesus Christ my Saviour, the love of God in Christ I will abide. So, I will no longer try to be an imposter, instead I will allow the creator to be the change in my heart, I will no longer cave under the pressures of societies constant battle to try to shape me, for I am not defined by them or their words of error. Romans 12:1-2 KJV 1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. 2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. Instead, I will be transformed by God's Grace, my focus will stay on Christ, yeah...do you see? do you understand it now that... Psalm 23:1-6 KJV 1 The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. 2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. 3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. 4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. 5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. 6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever. I will have no fear for God is my shelter he is the one who will get me through. For my faith in Christ alone will never waiver for my heart will endure the pain. And the will of God is what I strive to achieve, I strive to serve my Saviour, even at a cost though I may get persecuted maybe even beaten, for I will have no fear for my heart is fixed on you Lord Jesus. And upon the cross on calvary you hung and bled and died for me, death has beem forever defeated it has no final word on my life, cos to you oh Lord my God I belong. So, to the rest of the world if you see my down on the ground you see, down is not where I will stay you may try to hold me down, but...God my Father will always carry me through. "YOU HELD MY HAND" You held my hand Through the thunder and the rain You held my hand Through all the pain You held me close and you never let me go You never let me go You covered me in your love Covered by the Precious Blood of Jesus. That's right, Satan tried to tell me I was no longer worth it, but I believe God's word of truth. Satan tried to tell me I was unloved and unreachable but yet, God chose to love me regardless of all my flaws and God chose to keep me instead of forsaking me he chose to love me even when I was unlovebable. Now as I wrote these words, as I sit here worting these words of praise, I give God all the glory honour and my heart and soul, my lips will always sing my God's praise. So now, as I place my life in the Saviour's hands, keeping strong in this joy and peace I've found in him alone, my hope is secured my faith in Christ will increase as days go by. My love for God will grow more stronger, the more I seek Jesus the more I will find him the more I find him the more I will fall deeper in love with him. So as I continue my walk with Christ, I will make it far and wide and no weapons formed against me will ever prosper. In fact, in the Mighty Name of The Lord JesusChrist, every attack every lie every thought every thing images and any misconceptions I cancel it all now, I bind it all and cast it all down to nothing in the Mighty Name of Jesus Christ AMEN!. So, as I continue fighting this good fight of faith, as The Lord strips away all that tries to hinder, he is stripping away every bit of doubt amd fear, slowly but steadily I will await. Amd when I finally come face to face with my Saviour Christ in the clouds, in victory I will rise and Christ will be lifted high, it is then I will know that heaven awaits for me and those who God has found fit for his Kingdom. I will recieve that crown, transformed into a new creation of Christ he will say well done my good and faithful servant well done...well done welcome home, go now and enter into thy rest. It is then that I will no longer be just a work of art but...I will be His masterpiece. Your beloved child, Princess of The Most High King... Love always and forever HOPE. |
