" My Dear friend, I hope all is well with you and that you are healthy in the body as you are strong in the spirit." 3 John 1:2 ( Adapted)

As we all know mainly on all platforms the hashtags that go around for this day are #wellnesswednesday or #wealthwednesday.
As I’m in my own journey of #inneroutertransformation I stopped to think 🤔how I feel about these two and I came to the understanding that both are important but the motive behind it in my life for me is even more.
The quality of health I get to have now gives me the opportunity to be able to serve or be more active for 𝙂𝙤𝙙's Kingdom and the wealth or income possessions I may have also give me the opportunity to give back to His Kingdom because at the end what use are both of them if I don’t make the best out of it.
Why do I think this way now? Well, you see there was a point in my life where I thought things were just going to go downhill for me, I didn’t see any positive way to see me healthy again, sadly to say my faith was small🤦🏻♀. However I turned what I thought was the last stages of my life to 𝙂𝙤𝙙 and told Him I wanted to serve Him more while I still could.
I surrendered my life, my health, my earthly titles and all that I thought “I” had achieved. It was then that I started to realize how silly of me it was to have thought that “I” had accomplished all that I had. With my health being at it’s lowest I lost the opportunity to do what i thought I loved to do.
All this made me realize that all this time it had been by 𝙂𝙤𝙙's Grace and favor for my life that allowed me to have all that I had and that He had allowed for me to be the way I was so that I would understand that it was always Him and not me.
You see when we think life is coming to an end we start to think of all the things we have done and all that we haven’t. So I started thinking of all the time I had waisted in following earthly possessions and not much time in what really mattered,
“My Heavenly Fathers business”
I then started to really seek His Kingdom and serving with all my heart and that led me to getting ready to meet my 𝙂𝙤𝙙. Getting my life straightened with 𝙂𝙤𝙙 has led me to know more of Him and although I still make mistakes I am at peace in knowing who I am to 𝙂𝙤𝙙. This has made such a difference in my life because I no longer feel the need to fit in, or to gain what I thought would fill the void because 𝙂𝙤𝙙 has filled that void with His Love.
The Bible comes to life when it says “His love is sufficient” for me. I understand it and the acceptance of it has given my life a whole different meaning. This is why I love to share my story in hopes that someone maybe like me may read this and see that there is Hope in Him.
Health and wealth are not bad but is how you use it that makes the whole difference. Where your money/focus goes is where your heart is and if it’s not pointing to 𝙂𝙤𝙙☝🏼than my friend don’t wait for you to come to a position like I was to realize it.
It is my desire to be able to grow more in His wisdom and in Love for the Lord and be able to do more of His work for His Kingdom.
The bible says that “In the same way, there is joy before the angels of 𝙂𝙤𝙙 when 1 sinner changes his heart.” Luke 15:10 ICB
I’ve messed up in so many ways but it so reassuring to know that God knew this already and still loves me. Unconditional love💗
only comes from Him and nothing and no one can ever fill that void that we are all seeking to have filled.
His love is sufficient for me and I have everything because I have Him☝🏼🙇🏻♀️. So as you go about your life please stop and think and ask yourself,
“Why do I do what I do?” If you are still seeking to fill that void, 𝙂𝙤𝙙 is the only one who can truly fill it.
There is room for more in His heavenly home.
I don’t know who needed to hear this but I know 𝙂𝙤𝙙 does. I obey and 𝑯𝒆 guides.
