I pray you favor...(subtitled) A lesson from group text!
1 Peter 3:12-13King James Version (KJV)
12 For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and his
ears are open unto their prayers: but the face of the Lord is against them that
do evil. 13 And who is he that will
harm you, if ye be followers of that which is good?
It's been awhile, a butterfly landed on my fingers and said
I haven't heard from you in awhile and I ignored creation, then he sent an
angel that said hey "Hey Auntie why haven't I seen a blog in a
while?" So I'm back, you might not
want to listen to talking butterflies but when you get called out by family
well...God is trying to tell you something.
Favor ain't fair...I've heard it preached and thought maybe
even shouted "Preach Preacher"
Of course my thought was that I am walking in favor, so fair or not I'm
covered. I was so moved by the service
that I sent out a group text to all my friends "favor ain't fair - be
blessed from the rooter to the tooter"
Now let me tell you something about group text - simply put
they suck. Because everybody in your
group don't know everybody else in the group, so you get a lot of reply text back
asking who is this...Of course they ask in a kind way, Bless your heart and do
I know you?
One person responded in a way that stuck with me though...
There reply was "I don't want nothing that ain't
fair"
Hmm my mind whirled with this new interjection on my new
catch phrase. Wow do I really want something
that isn't fair. I'm a good kind person
and I never want to be seen as unfair. Maybe
"Favor ain't Fair" is wrong, do I really want anything I didn't deserve.
As quick as the questionable seed was planted it was
uprooted by this thought. I could never
earn all that I have, If I lived a million years and had a thousand tongues I
could never achieve the things that I have achieved, the grace that has covered
me, the healing that has let me continue to breath even when I don't honor my
temple. I would never be, without He that is
in me and his favor over my steps.
So two lessons from this blog I pray you take...
No God's favor isn't fair and you better thank God that its
not, because what we deserve is not our fate because of his son.
And two seriously group text are just confusing, if you can't
take the time to call someone at the least text them individually. This means you - me.
I pray and hope that you receive God's Favor.
