Highly Esteemed Abominations.....

Heeeeyyyy beautiful reflections 😁 and others. How are y'all doing today?! Hope you're doing amazing or fabulous or supercalifragilisticexpialidocious 🤭‼️ Me, I'm doing lovely 💃🏿. It's a new day to piss the devil and his minions off. A new day to show some love to those that desire to give and show love to others. Gotta be excited about that.

Listen, 2026 is trying its best to take us through there. Whatever that means….but it's “provactive” 🤭. Double entrendre huh?! Okay, okay, maybe not the right moment to insert that kinda humor. None the less. It's out there. Just like so many other things are being placed in front of us.

Many have realized that being held in high esteem by man really isn't all that it's cracked up to be. There have been files and information released that informs us that wickedness is truly seated in high places (Eph 6:12). Desiring the worship intended for God for themselves. While behind closed doors doing everything that goes against God's intended design for our walk in this life.

Luke 16:15 states “…..for that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God.” With everything that has been brought to light being held at a high esteem by man really doesn't seem to be the current goal of life. Not for myself anyways. The compromises you have to be willing to make just don't add up.

There are sacrifices in all areas of life regardless of the believe you practice. Just depends on how deep you're willing to go. What you're willing to eat ; seems like for some 😮‍💨. None the less, man made heights just don't appeal to me the same. Maybe I'm the only one. Maybe I just enjoy the heights that come with being low but esteemed in Christ.

I can take that. I know that regardless of how I'm positioned……on the hill or in the valley….. that God is there with me. That the battle is already WON. You truly can't take any losses when you're moving with Christ. So remember to keep your faith and stay low. Let God elevate you! Just be aware that man will hate you and love the abominations.

Be happy when people persecute you without a cause. It's truly a signal that you are blessed and great is your reward in heaven (Matt 5:11-12).

Love ya. Later.

Beauty is Dangerous 🌹

Heeeey good people and the rest of y'all 😆. Let me stop. Heyyyy others. How y'all doing? I hope you're doing fabulous 💅🏿. Me, I'm chilling, doing and feeling stupendous. (Had to give y'all a different word since it seems like y'all enjoyed “amazing” 😁.) Anywho, what's goodie? I wanted to come and talk about beauty today.

Not vanity. Just beauty. Simply looking good.

In the Bible when you read about the people God favors they are typically described as being beautiful. Attractive. Appealing to the eye. Yet, in Proverbs 16 the word also talks about how God hates those who are conceited. The most interesting stories about beauty that I find in the Bible deal with the wives of the prophets. The story of Abram and Sarai or Isaac and Rebekah.

In both relationships the men were faced with situations where they had to brace themselves when entering into new territory to be possibly killed because of how the Kings would view or desire their wife. In Genesis 12:12-13 & 26:6, both men feared for their life because of how beautiful they were. They both went into new territory portraying themselves as the brother instead of the husband of their wife. All of this was to avoid death behind the beauty of a woman.

Talk about being a prize 🏆.

Beauty is dangerous. There are many different stories in history where beautiful women were the catalyst for some type of destruction. The Bible also reiterating this. There are consequences that follow when you touch those that God favors. Destruction of some sort is usually the cost a person pays. In the story of Abram and Sarai the Egyptians were struck with horrible diseases because of Sarai (Gen 12:17). In the story of Isaac and Rebekah, when Abimelech discovered who Rebekah truly was to Isaac, he warned everyone not to touch either of them or face death. Abimelech knew the consequences he could've suffered had anyone slept with Rebekah (Gen 26:8-11).

There are many different variations of beauty in the world. Yet, there are some people you can't touch because of who they are connected to. Had Sarai and Rebekah been the wives of any other person outside of the prophets that God was using the consequences would've still been there just on a different level. God seems to appreciate beauty in his creations. He just doesn't want us to become conceited in our ways.

Both examples of beauty in the Bible also remind us that covenant is everything.

God "Chose" Me First 🥇

Hey, Hey, Hey, beautiful people. It's the first day of Fall 🍂 🍁 and I'm super stoked! My reasons might be a little biased though honestly. What's one of the seasons you enjoy?! Hope all is well with you of course. If not I hope something shakes soon that shifts your situation. 🙏🏿

Listen, ion know if any of you have been hearing all this “chosen” chit chat. But let's get to the bottom of it today. Let's let this fall where it belongs. For good.

There are some people in the world who like to use the topic of being chosen as a feel good dynamic, some who try to use it to trigger others, some who want to use it to feel superior to others and others who use it as a term for community. However, did you know none of those things really hold weight compared to being chosen by God?! 👀 I mean none of it. God choosing us is the ultimate pick we could ever experience in our life.

The word tells us “For he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight.” Ephesians 1:4 This scripture highlights that God “wanted” us before we even desired to be wanted by anyone else. He chose us before the creation of the world. Do you know how important and loved you are because of that?!

God loved and desired us so much that he knew before he established us that he wanted to provide a place for us where we could flourish. He decided that we would be created then went to work on establishing a home for us to rest. The world. Earth.

When we look at John 15:16 it states that “You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you so that you might go forth and bear fruit - fruit that will last - and so whatever you ask of me in my name the Father will give you.” We think we “choose” , yet God chose us. God loves us so much that he knew we would make mistakes, stray from the path but he also knew and had faith that those that he chose would return home.

Talk about an intentional loving father!

God's love is sufficient for us. It's everlasting. Being picked by man (male/female) is a small thing when the alpha and omega hand picks you. When you love yourself……flaws and all…..being picked concerning a relationship isn't going to make or break you. Man will try to make you feel small and fail when you're able to stand on the fact that God chose you before the creation of the Earth. What man can top that?!

God chose you first 🥇 don't get so caught up on people wanting you to feel small because you're confident in that fact. Being able to love yourself and others is a beautiful thing. When you innerstand God's love for you being chosen by the right partner is just a bonus to being chosen by the Father.

Now we can finally let all this “chosen” talk lay to rest. We're now well aware that God chose us and who is topping that?! 🥰😍😘

Love ya. Later.
