Dust yourself off & try again...
"We fall down, but we get up...
We fall down, but we get up...
We fall down, but we get up...
For a saint is just a sinner who fell down & got up..."
Most of you reading this are familiar with these lyrics from "We Fall Down" by Donnie McClurkin. If you're not, I suggest that you become familiar with them, as well as with the TRUTH behind them. Some of us are flat-foot sprawled out RIGHT now, but it's okay... You can get back up!
Sin & temptation surround us everyday, at almost every moment. Now there are some of us who are a little better at handling temptation than others. I have my days when I'm on FIRE with urgency to walk in the Word, fueled by a desire to make every move one that's pleasing to God. Then there are others days when my walk falters just a tad and before I know it, I've allowed myself to become susceptible to satan & his foolish minions.
We have the power of free will, folks. I'm just sayin'... You know the difference between right & wrong, now. The choice is yours. But, keep in mind that if you do make the MISTAKE of choosing to do the wrong thing & failing to do good, you're not gonna be written off by the Man upstairs. C'mon, ya'll!!! He looks beyond or faults & sees our needs!!!! So, don't just keep living in sin, surrounded by chaos & confusion. Every misstep in your walk is another chance to upgrade. Reflect over what led you into the throws of your "not-so-great" decision & come up with a master plan as to how you can avoid mess like that happening again.
I can't even front like this past week wasn't sprinkled with ratchetivity on my end. I found myself slipping into my old speech patterns. (Those of ya'll who know me know that I'm a REFORMED sailor-mouth...LoL...) I let the enemy creep into my mind here & there, sowing seeds of negativity & doubt. But you know what?!?!?!? I'm down with the MASTER GARDENER, so all I had to do was tell Him about those seeds so that He could come through and do some maintenance. I'm dusting myself off & trying again...
I can't say it enough: EVERY SITUATION THAT YOU FIND YOURSELF IN PRESENTS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR UPGRADE!! I know how to answer a door when opportunity knocks & invite it riiiiiiiiiiiiiight on in. What are YOU gonna do when that knock comes your way???
'Til next week... XOXOXO
