God Thoughts

God is amazing!  He specially created each of us.  He has a plan just for each of us and He gave us our own special gifts and talents to complete that plan.  Who knew that no one can be you and you can’t be anyone else.  ONLY YOU CAN BE YOU1. I love knowing that God made me just right and He made you just right too!  So, no sense comparing!  Just love who God created you to be.  He put our own seeds of greatness inside each of us.  Our job is to use them.  They are just right to be the amazing person God created each of us to be.  Our gifts and talents are not given to us all at one time.  He gives them to us little by little throughout our life.  God gives us everything we need at just the right time.  He wants us to love who we are and to enjoy the life He has planned for us.  Always remember — God doesn’t make junk!  I just had to throw that in.  It makes me smile every time I hear it!

It’s mind boggling to think that God created each of us differently.  No two people even have the same fingerprints. I can remember comparing myself to other people, wishing I was more like them.  Thinking I needed to be perfect so I could be good enough.  Then, I learned that everyone is different and it changed my life.  I started looking at myself differently.  I was in my late 50’s when I learned this.  I loved that God had a special purpose/plan for my life.  A plan that only I could do - no one else.  God also gives me gifts and talents so I can follow my purpose/my plan.  God gave me my very own PIZZAZZ!  I was no longer interested in being perfect, because there is no perfect.  But, there is Just Right and that’s how God made me.  He made me Just Right for my life and He made you Just Right for your life.  God doesn’t make Junk!  I love that thought!  So, JUST LOVE BEING YOU!  YOU ARE JUST RIGHT!!

Ps  I wanted children to love being who they are so, I wrote the children’s book, I Love Being Me!  It teaches children that they have PIZZAZZ!!!

God never promised us an easy life. There will always be challenges, hard times. I like to call them bumps in my journey. Some bumps are little, but, some bumps are big. The bumps are not easy, but, I believe God is always by my side, helping me, guiding me through the tough times. God always gives me what I need. It’s comforting to know that I’m not alone during my hard times. All I have to say is, “God, please help me” and then I listen. I might hear a small, still voice that shares some wisdom or I might read something or hear someone say something. It’s just what I need to keep going. It’s wonderful and comforting to believe, trust, and have faith that God is always by my side. He’s always there for me. All I have to do is believe and invite Him in :)

I always knew of God and believed in Him. But, I’ve learned that I didn’t know God. I didn’t really know who He is, that He loves me unconditionally, wants to be my friend and is ALWAYS there for me. He wants a relationship with me. It’s not about church or religion. It’s about developing a relationship with God. Knowing this has been life changing. God is like a best friend - ALWAYS there for me. No matter what, God is waiting with open arms to help me, take my hand and guide me through my difficulty, hared time, bump in my road. The secret is: IF I LET HIM! I have to believe in God, Jesus, and The Holy Spirit and invite them in my life. I have to open the door and let them in. Life is so much better with God in it! I am not alone :)

Unconditional love — what does that mean?  I thought and thought.  Then I thought about my mom and dad and then, I thought about me being a mom to my kids.  I realized that I love them unconditionally.  There is NOTHING they could say or do that would make me stop loving them or being there for them.  Wow!  So God feels that way about me?  Wow!  So grateful to know I am always loved and that God is always by my side.  I feel safe :)
