Anger is a powerful emotion. When it’s unleashed without control it can become the root of a lot evils! And is anger something we should escape even though we know we’re inevitably flawed by sin! Anger will consume you! Anger will devour you and leave you lifeless. Jesus is life and He should consume us, but is all that realistic? Can we ever reach such closeness to perfection? He sees the big picture; the journey and the final destination. All we see is the struggles of right now! We are so limited to our own perception. Seems as if He judges us on fulfillment of life rather than perfection of life. That’s a lenient and understanding God. But what about the punishing God? To what extent does he punish us? Are there rules and regulations that encourage Him for punishing us for specific, inevitable bad deeds? Like abortion after rape, or lying to save a life, in other words…does He punish you for being a product of your experiences? Or is it up to our own feeble minds to comprehend our experiences and analyze them to the point where we think we’ve found what it means to be righteous? We can’t depend on absolutizing the relative human mind. We can only depend on our own, individual perception, but who knows if that’s good enough. So many questions, no answers! So much doubt! I feel lost like I did in the beginning! We’re inevitably flawed by sin on Earth so to what extent is sin OK? I’m a sinner, so why should I feel bad for doing something I can’t control? Accepting the things you can’t change and changing what u can. Are these the thoughts of a carnal mind or thoughts of a devoted mind? It’s ok to question God, but it’s not ok to be without Him!

Listen to my new poem ‘What Are We Searching For?’
Today In History
‘Harriet Tubman, abolitionist, author, and engineer of the Underground Railroad, led Union Army guerillas into South Carolina and freed nearly 800 slaves on this date June 2 1863. Tubman was the first woman in U.S. history to command an armed military raid.’
“I freed a thousand slaves I could have freed a thousand more if only they knew they were slaves.” - Harriet Tubman

Basically most fatal unarmed shootings by police, people of color who go missing, civilian deaths overseas, genetic alteration of food, and so much more. Great photo.

Jackson 5 x Bob Marley track would’ve been ridiculous. Maybe it happened and it’s in the vaults…
“…and what is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe…” (Ephesians 1:19, NKJV)
Paul prayed in Ephesians 1:19 that we would understand the exceeding greatness of God’s power for those who believe. Notice the power is only activated when we believe. That means right now the Creator of the universe is just waiting to release healing, restoration, favor, promotion, abundance. The only catch is that we have to believe.
I think about Mary, the mother of Christ. When she was a teenager, the angel came to her and said, “You’re going to have a child without knowing a man.” Her first thought was, “That’s impossible. That’s never happened before. That defies the laws of nature.” She said to the angel, “How can this be?” He answered back, “The Spirit of the Lord will come on you and cause it to happen.”
I love the way Mary responded. She didn’t argue with him. She didn’t try to talk herself out of it. She simply said, “Be it unto me even as you have said.”
Has God placed a dream in your heart that seems impossible? If you will choose to believe, then His strength will rise up in you. His ability will supersede your ability, and the greatness of His power will bring to pass every dream and every desire He has placed within you!
My Book: A Time for Truth
As Christians, we tend to hide behind Holy hands and disregard our human tendencies. We are sinners! Jesus died for a reason! Therefore, we should be able to be honest with each other about our journeys as saints. Sometimes we fall, but as saints, we always get back up. Therefore, this book represents my sainthood in complete honesty, so I don’t invite your judgment. But I encourage your understanding, and I hope everyone sees this book for what it is; a testimony of my faith and a defiance of lies and deception through TRUTH!
Locs growin…!
