Faith, Hope & Love|Revisited
I original wrote this poem in July of 2019. Still going through my blog and cleaning it phase, I have been picky with which post that I want to even touch. Some things should just stay in the past, right where you left them, untouched. If anyone is interested in cleaning up their old post here’s a new link to try: https://smartblogger.com/repurposing-content/
Anyhow, I stumbled upon this little poem here and it seems fitting to me. Maybe it will to you too? Life just seems so piled up with more and more chaos. It’s one thing on top of another and it’s all bad. Yet, personally, my life for once is going pretty awesome.
This is not say that the world has not effected me greatly, because it has. It’s just that over that last 3 in a half years particularly, God have really prepared me for “tough times” and so with that, I guess, my reactions to the things in the world are different. I’m not getting dragged down into the swamp and the hate of it all. Still I get angry and my heartbreaks over and over. I cry still often but I pray more!
But I am living while I am alive. One phase I am really sick of hearing is “when this is over”, or “after this we can”… I have been living my a whole life in those type of phases. My husband is terrible about it. “When we have money we will…..” When this passes we can….” After this is over we will be better…”ย The thing is, it usual never changes much at all. It’s a lie we tell ourselves to make us comfort to live in a stagnant place and be okay with.ย
I am living my life right now dang it! I ‘m done with stagnant and done with being held back! Whether someone likes me or not or agrees with my blog post! Whether, it’s raining or sunshine! No matter what the number in the bank account is or the stats on my blog! I don’t care about the nonsense people say or the things they do! I’m not joining in with any of silly games any longer! It’ll still be the same bs that it is today, tomorrow and the day after that! I’m over it and done.
Please don’t get any of your drama on me! ๐คช
With all that said, I felt this poem was worth a re-share. No one’s made perfect on this Earth but in our Father in Heaven eyes, we all are perfectly made.
Live the life you were given with honor and respect. Don’t lie to yourself that tomorrow it’ll be different because it won’t. Be different today.
Faith, Hope and Love but above all these LOVE.
So faith, hope, love remain, these three; but the greatest of these is love.
1 Corinthians 13:13
Above All These Is LOVE
And I think to myself… what a wonderful world ๐
If I want this world to be ๐ a safe, loving place for you and me.
My voice doesn’t need to be the loudest ๐ย my fist not the hightest!
To changes hearts โฅ๏ธย ย and move mountains, only one thing remains true ๐๐ผ
Faith, ๐๐ผย Hope, ๐ย and Loveโค๏ธย but above all these is LOVE ๐ค๐ฝ
Remembering who I am and who God has Called us all to be ๐๐ผย so perfectly made in His eyes.
Listening to that inner voice โฅ๏ธย to guide us and give us strength ๐ช๐ฝ
Sometimes will be shaken and feel broken ๐ย but we find our power in God alone๐๐ผ
So we kneel ๐๐ผย in prayer to our God, then stand up tall, wipe away the dirt from our eyes ๐
Our vision is restored, we’re replenished ๐ย and our hearts โค๏ธย are back in place ๐๐ผ
Now we see truth for what it is and can be in peace โ๐ฝ together

Hey, just wanted to tell you that youโre one of the people who keep doing the blog thing. I donโt want to take any credit for any help youโve received from me because thatโs purely the Lord. But I feel an appreciation and thatโs encouraging.
I also wanted to encourage you to keep going and writing about your journey. Iโm serious when I say you are more than ordinary. Youโre a mom, a wife, a survivor and a human being. Jesus loves you just as much as He loves me. He has a purpose and a calling for you. Keep seeking Him daily and talking to Him. I canโt tell you why youโve been through everything youโve been through, but thereโs a reason and a purpose. That sounds kind of cheap, but itโs true.
Iโm humble that โyouโre my peopleโ. I accept you and I donโt judge you for anything. And Iโm around if you ever need prayer or someone to listen.
Sorry for a long sappy message, but I felt the need to talk to you.
