Be Well

“My dear friend, I know that you are doing well spiritually. So I pray that everything else is going well with you and that you are enjoying good health.”

‭‭3 John‬ ‭1‬:‭2‬ ‭ERV‬‬

 Be well my friends even in the face of a mountain, be well. Our God created the mountains and have you the ability to speak to it, tell it to move. All you need is faith. 

I know your thing is big and scary but our God is bigger. 

It’s easy for me to sit here and tell you to trust a God you cannot see. It’s easy for me to tell you to believe in the unbelievable. It’s easy for me to quote scripture and think your life will be immediately changed. I can hear the thoughts in your head telling me that I just don’t understand, I probably don’t get it. Each one of us has a different path to walk and different struggles to overcome but that does not mean what I am saying isn’t real. 

I was never a church person, I actually didn’t like church or the people who tried to tell me about church. I loved God but church people were mean, unforgiving, judgmental and restrictive. I kept thinking, if God is as petty as these people are, I’m good. But I’ll quote a little gospel song that sums it up for me.

“You weren’t there the night Jesus found me

You did not feel what I felt when He wrapped his loving arms around me and you don’t know the cost of the oil Oh, you don’t know the cost of my praise you don’t know the cost of the oil in my alabaster box”

When he found me sitting on a pew I was mentally broken. My marriage was in shambles and I didn’t know how I was going to keep holding myself together. A friend invited me to friends and family day at his church. That was about 27 years ago and I’m still there and still excited about God. God sent his people to tell me to hold on, God sent his people to hug me when I was broken, God sent his people to remind me that he was bigger than anything I was going through and if I would just believe, he would fix it. 

So now I’m one of God’s people and I’m telling you, hold on. I’m telling you that God loves you and wants you to be at peace. I’m telling you that Jesus heals. I’m telling you when I see you, hugs “On Sight” because God loves you and wants what is best for you and that is truth. The hug is from me because sometimes, it’s all you need. 

I’ll leave you with this because it helps me.

“So I tell you to ask for what you want in prayer. And if you believe that you have received those things, then they will be yours. When you are praying and you remember that you are angry with another person about something, forgive that person. Forgive them so that your Father in heaven will also forgive your sins.””
