October 9, 2018 ~ Feeling Thankful~

I have so much in me to share with you that I don’t know where to begin at times. When God awakens me in the morning, my mind goes in full effect with what’s in my heart, and this morning, I was thinking about the gift and the curse of our lives, and how at one point, I started wondering why God created us if we were going to be doomed from the beginning. I wanted a deeper understanding of Jesus Christ’s role in our lives because of the controversy between us about his existence in the flesh and spirit. You know it’s hard to conceive what you don’t understand. So, I asked my deep and spiritual friends and family why Jesus had to die for us. I knew the story, he died for our sins but why? I wasn’t able to fully understand this for a very long time. My sister, Valada Deadra Bono, gave me the best answer that hit home for me, “He was a sacrifice for us so we may be returned back to our rightful place with God.” It was because of Adam and Eve, the first humans of God’s creations who were pure and knew of any wrong or evil until they ate the forbidden fruit. This is how and why human nature is considered doomed and sinful, but God loved His creations, all of us, and we are redeemed in Jesus’ name. This is why you must understand and accept Him as your Lord and Savior because He is. You have been saved by the blood of Jesus. You can be who you are, and God will always love you, but He does want us to ultimately follow His lead for a more fruitful life of abundance in love, peace, wealth, and happiness. You can’t be your best until you are your best. That’s what I am working on to be my best and live my best life. The most important relationship in your life is a healthy one with God, and every other relationship you have or build, whether it is personal or business, will be healthy too. You’ll learn how to effectively communicate and discuss others’ opinions, feelings, or points of view that differ from yours without becoming offended, upset, and disrespectful. We can learn and grow together with the utmost respect for one another; building and uplifting one another in love. I pray that everyone has a great and productive week with high spirits, giving off good vibes to everyone you encounter.
