Another Sunday / Another Gift

-

 


This is Derrick W. Jackson here and I just wanted to praise the Lord for seeing another Sunday.  I've said this before but every day that we are alive is a gift from God. I thank the Lord that I have a roof over my head and food to eat.  These are blessings from Him.  I have been homeless before and once I did not eat for a week.

You may not be where you want to be in life: career-wise, spiritually,  physically, or mentally but you should jump out of bed every morning and praise God for another day. This is for me to understand as well. When I write these posts the message is not just for you, it is for me as well.

The God we serve is a good God and we may not understand Him when bad things happen to us.  I believe we go thru hardships to make ourselves better. To learn from our mistakes and not repeat them I feel is what Jesus wants from us.

So no matter where you are: jail, homeless, institutionalized God is there for you.

James 1:17

Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning. - KJV - Bible Gateway

Worship Him no matter the circumstance

There is no valley too deep for Jesus to reach. Call out to Him and he will comfort you. Believe in Him, and he will replenish you. Fall on your knees and worship Him, and He will lift you up. In life we make mistakes. Some are worse than others. The key to getting past it is not to dwell on it. There's an old adage, "One day at a time." How much can you get done in one day?  Setting daily goals chops your major ones into sizable proportions.  I am doing this blog to encourage others and to motivate myself.  When I go back and read some of my posts, I marvel at what I wrote.  My own words inspire and motivate me. I'm not trying to get the big head and puff myself up but to accomplish the goal of witnessing for Christ. The Great Commission Matthew 28:16  Then the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had told them to go.   17  When they saw him, they worshiped him; but some doubted.   18  Then Jesus came to them and sai...

DON'T LISTEN TO THAT VOICE

 Whenever you try to do something positive, do you have a negative thought like "This is pointless, or nobody cares about this?" I want this blog and this community to be a success. I can't listen to that voice that the devil says it's pointless. I have no idea who is reading this. I could say something that will help someone. One person.  Of course, I'm not  Jesus, but he was walking with a crowd around him, and someone touched him and was healed. He did not know who it was but knew power had left him. This message isn't just for you, readers. This is for me. I have stopped and started this blog again and again. I MUST NOT STOP!!!. And there's another thing I need to recognize. This is not a popularity contest. If the stats are low, that should not deter me. I am going to a church now where the pastor, his wife, and I are the only ones regularly there. See the picture above. Look at the empty seats. That has not stopped this pastor. And he has really fixe...
