God--I put you in a place to need a miracle, so I could perform one

The Lord said—“Every hard place that you’ve experienced was for your good”. He said, “I put you in a place to need a miracle just so I could perform one”. He made the way hard to see just so you would trust him. He closed every door, just so he could be the one to open it. He’s coming strong on your behalf.—-

I felt that in my spirit! While I was driving I heard this message for the first time and I literally felt this message flow through my whole body. I can’t help but to be so transparent with you all, that’s all I know how to do. These past 90 days I think, actually I know, have been the hardest days of my life. I have neverrrrrr experienced the level of lowness and uncomfortableness that I have felt in these past 3 months. That meme thats been floating around that says “check on your strong friend”, that was me, I am that friend.

I just want to first and foremost thank God for this shaking. I have learned soo soo much about myself. I was forced to be alone so I had no choice to seek God. But in my seeking, I’m going to be honest I questioned God too. But it’s so crazy because I felt like I needed to be here. I needed people to give up on me, to leave my job, leave relationships because God is a selfish God and I had began to make idols out of these things. I live a pretty amazing life. Anyone who knows me know that I’m always smiling, inspiring, living. But I was given all these blessings and never gave back to him. All these years, and God was like…oh okay. You’ve made idols out of what you received and how you received it but forgot about me. Oh, alright. I’ll put you in a place to need a miracle so “I” can perform one. Not man, not no job, no relationship, friendship, “I”. -God .

My friends, life is hard. Adulting is hard. Decisions are hard. Mistakes are hard. But we have to stay connected. The miracles that God has performed in my life in these past few months have been nothing short of amazing. Also, dropping a little gem. God does not use qualifiers when saying he is going to bless you. Never does he say, “this may happen, eventually it will happen, maybe it will happen, okay sis I got you next time,”—In the bible it says “It will be yours”. You can pray for anything and God got you. But you also have to have it in your heart to forgive others so God can continue to bless you.

With all that being said, I have been fasting from social media this week and it has been so liberating!! My goodness following all of y’all is taxing! But I want you all to find some time to carve out for your provider. If that means taking 15 minutes in the morning to talk to him, walk with him, whatever you have to do. Literally in these past few days from fasting I have been opening my bible, taking walks and LISTENING. Cause these miracles didn’t just come from anywhere, It came from the one who always performs them. Give God your idols, make him be the first one you call.

I’ll talk to y’all in a about a week!! We talking about new jobs, relationships, friendships, moving!…hmmm.. Stay tuned.

—Yours Purely
