Crying Out To God

How many of you have shed your share of tears over one thing or another? How many of you have found yourself crying but not really understanding why you were crying? I feel like I have been in both of those places in different moments of my life. I would like to share in this blog about crying out to God. I looked up crying in the Websters dictionary and the meaning it gave me was,"to call loudly". There were several others but this is the one that got me to thinking. If we are going to cry about situations and circumstances in our lives let our cry be to the only wise and powerful God who understands us when we cry out to him. In Psalms 34:15 it reads, "The eyes of the Lord are on the righteous, And His ears are open to their cry". When we cry to God, his ears are open to hear from us. Not when we are whining and complaining about our circumstances or crying in pity because we are under attack but only when we cry to God in our faith out of the place that we are yet trusting him to hear us and help us. In Psalm 34:17 it reads," The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears, And delivers them out of all their troubles". Woman of God, just know that when you cry out to the only living God he hears you and he will deliver you. Some of you right now have found yourself in a horrible pit of dis pair and you have been crying out but you felt as if God did not hear you and some of you might feel as if he did not understand. David said in Psalm 40:1-2,"I waited patiently for the Lord; And he inclined to me, And heard my cry.(2)"He also brought me up out of a horrible pit, Out of the miry clay, And set my feet upon a rock, And established my steps". When you cry with a purpose then God can hear you and bring you out of the place of darkness and dis pair,set your feet on solid ground and establish your steps. In those times that you have cried and did not know which way to go, the Lord established your steps as you cried out to him. The last scripture that I would like to share with you is from Psalm 61:1-2 and it reads,"Hear my cry, O God; Attend to my prayer. From the end of the earth I will cry to you, When my heart is overwhelmed; Lead me to the rock that is higher than I". In this scripture you find that David was asking God to hear his cry and hear his prayer. So David was not just crying but he was praying. He made a vow to the Lord that from the end of the earth that he would cry to him. David knew that when his heart was so overwhelmed and he could no longer take anymore that if he cried to God with a purpose that he would, lead him to the rock that is higher than himself. We must believe just as David that when we cry out to God that he will lead us to the rock that is higher than our circumstances, higher than our needs and higher than the emotions of desperation that we feel in that moment. I say to you today woman of God, there is nothing wrong with crying because God longs to heal you of those things that you cry out to him about, and when you cry out to him in faith, believing that he hears you, he will help you.
God bless you and have a prosperous week. Woman of God regardless of where you are in life right now, " Cry out to God, he is longing to help you".

You Are Beautiful

I pray that women from all parts of the world and all walks of life will be able to come here and be uplifted and encouraged. We as women in general face so many things on a daily basis and sometimes we just need a place that we can go and be lifted up, praised, encouraged and simply told that, "You are beautiful". So today my message to you is that you are beautiful and you were created with beautiful thoughts. I just believe that as God created you, he had beautiful thoughts on his mind about what you would be, who you would become and what you would accomplish. Regardless of what makes up who you are or how you got here, "You are beautiful". In the bible in II Corinthians 3:18 it reads, " But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image form glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord". So believe me regardless of what has happened to you in your life, God desires to transform you by his glory as you behold all that he is, into his same image. He desires for you to look like him, walk like him, talk like him and be beautiful just as he is. You are awesome, lovable, likable and excepted. God excepts you for who you are and with his love he will help you become all that he desires you to be. You will walk in your great destiny that he has planned for you. As I close this post, I would like for you to make this commitment with me. Psalms 139:14 reads," I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made;Marvelous are Your works, And that my soul knows very well". Commit with me that we will praise the Lord because regardless of what we have endured we were fearfully (cautiously and carefully) made. We will praise God for his marvelous works as when he created us and we will remind our soul of this when we feel discouraged, depressed or not pretty enough. No matter what you may face in the days ahead, please be reminded that, "You are beautiful", and guess what your souls knows that this is right. Have a bl est week.
