Word of God Speak

It took me a hot minute to come with a title for this blog post but after praying about it, it came to me. Word of GOD speak. So you see the word of God, is the very battle plan we all live by on a day to day basis. You see the Lord, will speak to us we just have to be open to hear what he has to say, this goes back to my previous post about having faith, faith is the thing we need in order to sustain a life in essence. I have a story that I can tell and well, it is about the life I lived before Jesus. I was on drugs and addicted to sex and alcohol and so much more that I craved for God to send me a sign or make something step out in my way to make me stop the cycle I was going in. I had a pastor and actually it was my pastor at my home church, he told me as I was going down the rabbit hole as I call it, he looked at me with correction and love in his eyes, and said these words to me "Aiden, the only way you are going to overcome this is by changing your course instead of going around the same mountain." If there is anything I have learned it is this, the Lord will speak to you in some of the most crazy and mysterious ways you will look around and be like "Lord, why you gotta be so on point?" lol! I can tell you why, that is the only way he can get some of y'alls attention because all you want to do is focus on what you want to say and what you want to happen, not the plan that was wrote out for you at the beginning of time! Sometimes the word from God may be a word of correction and guidance because God sees you going down a path that is going to lead to destruction. Correction is not rejection, correction is the very embodiment of the kind of love the Lord has for us and the Lord will put people in your life to correct you for the simple fact that he loves you that much! When I was on drugs and running crazy I needed that correction that form of "Common sense" knocked into me and sure enough by God sending the right folks it was knocked into me in the hardest most holy way possible! So, I say this to you if you have not received anything from this. DO NOT negate the correction of the Lord, because like I said; correction, it is not rejection but merely a form of love and tenderheartedness.

The love of God is not harsh but full of love and the people he puts in your path to correct you will do the same thing! Do not reject the love of God but rather embrace it!
