I was never an individual that anyone could manipulate or control. Even as a child I was very headstrong and resilient.
My intense stubborn streak was inborn, often overwhelming to certain others. Some appreciated my obstinate, uncompromising ways, knowing that I was loyal, trustworthy, tenacious, discerning and authentic.
People could trust, rely, and depend on me through circumstances.
No one could ever stop me from doing anything that I wanted to do. And no one could ever make me do anything that I didn’t want to do.
I have a supernatural strength. A deep, profound connection to spirit. The love and light that continues to sustain me.
The Lord has always been there watching over me and significantly providing all of my physical, mental, emotional and spiritual needs.
He was constantly there to supply, and to deliver my every necessity, even when I was doubtful or unaware of his true character and intentions toward me.
We all go through challenging experiences within life.
But one thing I have learned from being endowed with multiple spiritual gifts and natural talent is that the Lord has a distinct plan for each of us according to the path that he chose for us to travel.
We may not at times understand while he sends us out on our way.
We cannot always see what is ahead (even those of us with the special gift of dreams, visions, telepathy, empathic sensitivity and so on.
As God does share certain mysteries of hidden knowledge with those of us in a sincere close relationship with him- we are, of course, not meant to know everything yet- not until the day and time we are united with him. The Lord wants us to learn, understand, and to know to assuredly count on him for everything.)
Nonetheless, we can know through faith and through our previous encounters that God does indeed ultimately guide us with his direction.
Even when we tend to go our own way, he from time to time, or all of the time gets us through divinely because he knows our hearts and will extend his grace and mercy.
More often than not he brings forth moments that are far beyond our expectations. At least this has been my experience.
The Lord knows everyone’s true thoughts, desires and intentions so when certain others are judgmental, wondering why particular individuals are blessed in ways that they feel should not be it is because the Lord God knows us more than anyone else.
He knows us better than we know ourselves. While others go by what “appears to be to them” through their limited scope of knowing and perception, God goes by reality and by his one and only authority.
Yes, there are many people who do wrong and seemingly get away with it, and have all kind of good things happen to them whereas those who do right may suffer many hardships.
No one gets away with anything that is not justified.
The Lord is on the throne. He will handle everything correctly within his own time within his own way whether it is sooner or later.
Meanwhile, the most important thing to remember is that none of us are defined by the ignorance of others.
None of us are defined by any past errors, misunderstanding, or unfortunate circumstances.
We are defined by who God says we are.
He knit us together when we were within our mother’s womb. He knows us intimately and created us distinctly.
We are to boldly exhibit the “unique” character God enabled within us without restriction from the world, and without apology.
