Determination

Determination
is a very strong working on behalf of
believers
We can be determined to do right
or be determined to do wrong
or to do nothing at all
Your determination lines up with your confidence
Your confidence lines up with your faith
What you have confidence in bears fruit in your life
Build confidence in your purpose
Use your faith
And e determined to build godly character
Be determined to fulfill the purpose
God created for you
with determination

Reaching Out
A person's actions
And attitudes
are the result
of seeds that have been planted
Though we may never know the full story
we are to pray for all who are in a fault
And "look down on them only long enough
to reach out your hand an lift them up"


Written by Geraldine John in book entitled Directed by Faith
Quote by the late Rev. John H. Williams
Mt. Olivet Baptist Church

Direction
Time lost cannot be found
focus on what is ahead
not on what is now behind
How easy is it for a person to walk forward
while looking back
The position of your head directs your body
In which direction it is to go
Keep looking and moving forward
To look back is to move back
and not trust your future
To look to your left or to your right
You are in a position of observation , not of action
Focus is necessary to move forward
(or backward)
Focus on moving forward
Seek your direction
from the one who planned
your life out from the beginning
To focus on your past
you allow yourself to be stopped
from future progress
Press through to your progress
"Be anxious for nothing (Phil. 4:6-7)
"The steps of a righteous man are ordered by GOD"
(Psalm 37:23)

Totally Boxed Changed course from hair braiding site and is now a place to share my poetry and quotes. In addition pieces from people who have inspired me.

The situation you are facing is to build character and show your faith. The "turn around" comes to be a testimony showing the goodness of GOD our Father, in Jesus name. Amen

The trials that you are facing is for the showing of your measure of faith. The turn around for your situation is your testimony of the goodness of GOD, in Jesus name. Amen

But you, beloved, build yourselves up in your most holy faith; pray in the Holy Spirit. Keep yourselves in the love of God . . ." — Jude 1:20-21

The life you are to live... You have to embrace who you are before the doors are opened for you to walk through.
