Just this One will Cover them All !

What’s up good people and others? Pray you have had a great weekend thus far. That you were able to get rest (for those of you who keep the sabbath) & that you treated yourself to some type of enjoyment. Even if it was simply chilling at home.

I came across something interesting in the word that I wanted to share with you all. Hopefully it helps you along your journey of elevation as it has helped me.

I have a video on my YouTube channel that highlights how our love for God is dependent on if we keep his commandments. The video is titled “The Clause on Love” & it is under the Live section on my Ls2Elevation YouTube channel. In it I speak on John 14:15 & how God wants to see our love thru the way in which we keep his commandments. It’s a pretty good video. Make sure you check it out.

In total there are ten commandments in the Bible that are referenced frequently. These are the commandments God wants us to keep. When you read thru them all you might spend some time self reflecting on whether or not you have truly been showing God you love him. I know there are some commandments that I have not always kept. Some that I have struggled to fully get right. Others I am grateful that I can check the box showing I am able. Yet did you know that there is ONE action that will cover them all? Can you guess what it is?

Alright, alright, let me tell you.

It is “Thou shalt love thy neighbour as you love yourself.” (Galatians 5:14) Seems simple enough right? Yet, when we look out into the world today in 2025, the love shown is all questionable. Imagine being able to show God you love him simply by treating others how you want to be treated. Many fail at this. Maybe, it’s because they struggle to love themselves. Maybe their hearts have waxed cold. Maybe, no love was shown to them. There honestly could be endless possibilities on why people choose not to love their neighbor. Yet, it is the simple thing that God desires for his children to do to show that they truly love him.

If there was more love in the world instead of hate, jealousy, envy and covetousness the world would be a completely different place. People would be more willing to help others, more willing to look past some of the simple things that people get into arguments and competitions about. It’s interesting when you read the next verse in Galatians, verse 5:15, it states, “But if ye bite and devour one another, take heed that ye be not consumed one of another.” Is that not exactly what is happening in the world today? Nation against nation? This group blaming that group. Cultural hate for others instead of embracing our differences.

In one action, we as children of God can reciprocate the love that God has shown us.

The bigger question for many people to ask themselves. Is do you love yourself? How can you love your neighbor if you don’t.

Whelp, y’all be blessed. Have an amazing day.

Love ya, later,

Shya.

Could You Pass this Test ?!

What's up beautiful people?! Hello. Bonjour. Que pasa!

I'm sitting here having a moment with the father just reflecting on things as I typically do. In the midst of my singing and thanking God for the life he has given me. My mom flashes in my head. Warm tears begin to stream down my face and the music stops (The singing I was doing haha). I love my mom. I love her so much.

Yet, if I love her more than I love the Father, Jesus Christ, I'd be found unworthy of him (Matthew 10:37-38). Isn't that something?!

It's truly a rough pill to digest. Yet, would you be found worthy?! The Bible talks about how there will be a separation between Father and son, mother and daughter, etc, etc (Luke 12:53). I know for a fact that it's hard being away from people you love. Yet, even when we are, we are not alone because God is with us.

I'm reminded of this YouTube clip of TD Jakes with his family standing behind him. There had just been news spread around the media bringing up old photos and videos while he attended a party of an individual who had been sued for some deviant acts. Yet and still his family and some of his congregation continued to stand behind him. The image of the family coming together was nice.

Most people are raised to stand up for their family. To love and support them. “If one fight, we all fight” type situation. It's hard to break that mindset. Hard to break that bond. Yet, when walking with and for Christ there will come a time when you'll need to decide if you're truly worthy of him. The test just might be. . . will you continue to stand with your family knowing they are doing things outside the will of God?! Where God has called us to be set apart. God’s children are called to be different and to stand ten toes in the differences concerning how we carry ourselves and show up in the world.

Could you pass the test of being set apart if it meant that you would have to disconnect from the very individuals you love and grew up with? I hope one day you will be able to say that you can.

Till next time.

Love ya later,

Shya.

His Love is what makes Us Special

Hello Beautiful people. I pray all has been well with you. Especially for all of you who have been enduring the storms that have been hitting this world lately. May God keep you in his safe hands. May the resources you may be in need of locate you. Please stay safe as best you can.

Today I wanted to talk about what makes us special.

As believers I know it’s difficult sometimes to NOT get pulled into the distractions that the world creates. The distractions are always so loud. So persistent. So vast. Yet, if I’m honest it would be easier to avoid the distractions when we operate in the manner that Christ has called us to. The thing that makes us special is the fact that God has chosen us to be a special people unto himself. When we read the Bible there are multiple times where we are instructed to “Be ye separate.” When we choose to associate ourselves with the things of this world, we pollute ourselves and tamper with the thing that makes us special; that makes us holy. Being ye separate. In Deuteronomy 7:6 it states, “For thou art an holy people unto the Lord thy God: the Lord thy God hath chosen thee to be a special people unto himself, above all people that are upon the face of the earth.”

When we consecrate a thing we are keeping it separate. That is exactly what Jesus is wanting his children to be - separate from the world! Scripture tells us that when we are friends with the world we are enemies with God (James 4:4). I’m not sure about you. But in this current climate, I wouldn’t want to be an enemy of God. It’s not looking too good for the opposition. We have a choice just as Christ does. He chose us because of his love for us (Duet 7:8). His faithfulness to his covenant (Duet 7:9). Yet, when we break that covenant, we are in danger of the consequences of our actions. (You can refer to the blog “Your Season, Your Choice” for more depth of what I am insinuating.) We aslo put ourselves in the crosswires for smoke that we don’t want to encounter.

We are nobodies without the love that Christ provides. It is because of his love that we are special. However, just like we have relationship throughout our lives with different people, family, friends, coworkers and etc. Our relationship with Jesus Christ is the main one that truly matters. Yes, it is beautiful to be loved. It is something entirely different when you are loved by Christ Jesus. It completely changes you from the inside out. It truly makes you feel special to experience such a love especially in the current tainted world of courting today. It elevates you to a place mentally and spiritually that makes you feel like you are floating on clouds with Christ.

However, to maintain the love that Christ provides we must do our part. Deuteronomy 7:11 tells us “Thou shalt therefore keep the commandments, and the statues, and the judgements, which I command thee this day, to do them.” Our part is honoring the covenant God established with us. We all want to be seen as special. Yet, we are only special because of the love that Christ has for us. Outside of his love we are nobody. Man cannot validate creation, only our Creator does, and he is a jealous God.

My beautiful people. If you are struggling in your walk with God…..I pray today that God will touch you in such a way that you no longer question or doubt the magnitude of his love for you. That you no longer seek the validation from the creation but you find it in the Creator. That your heart will soften to allow God in completely. That his love for you overflows into the lives of those around you. That peace indwells your hearts and your homes. That you know how truly special you are to Christ Jesus.

He wants to love on you. If only you would come home and leave the world behind.

Love ya, Later.
