Sifting process

And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat: But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren. Luke 22:31-32

This scripture was brought to my mind this afternoon. Satan wanted Simon.  Satan got Simon but Jesus prayed for Simon that he would still believe even though he was with Satan. 

Have you ever felt like God has left you in the hands of Satan and begin to doubt if God was real or loved you?  I have.  The sifting process is never easy.  Nothing seems to be going your way.  It seems as though every aspect of your life is being tested and what you believed to be true you are tempted to doubt.   Satan actually is sifting/stripping the things in your life that will not profit you.  When the sifting process is over the person you are transformed in to will be able to strengthen those around you.  Your life will inspire so many people when you are transformed if you hold on to your faith.  Don't let go of your dreams, purpose, gifts because it seems they will never happen.  Keep believing and trusting in God for your journey will give hope to others that come behind you.

Creating a Door

One of the biggest obstacles to reaching our dreams is we don’t see a door. Many hope that their dreams come true but few actually believe they will. Most don’t realize that what they see when their eyes are closed is more real than what they see when they are open. If you truly want the dream to come true, simply believe the dream.


Your faith creates a door to a world full of things deemed impossible. Faith is more than just positive thinking it is seeing beyond sight. It is connecting with what is in you and not allowing what you see naturally to blind your spiritual vision. You are a powerful being and when you begin to connect with that power nothing will stop you from seeing your desires and dreams manifest in this world.

First things first.

Today I choose to change my mind.  Today I choose to be happy.  Today I choose to love. 

One thing about life is that it goes on.  No matter if you sit on the sidelines or you play in the game, it goes on.  It is your choice where you end up.  So many times we neglect the things we love.  Love never frustrates.  If you find yourself frustrated it is time to turn back to love.  If things are stressing you out, it is time to turn back to love.  When we set our minds on love we find life and peace. 

Don't let your distractions rule you.  Turn back to what is truly important.  Turn back to what you love to do and do it.  Reconnect with your spouse, children, parents, yourself and your passions.  No matter where you are, it is never too late to love.
