Break the Cycle

As christians we are not exempt from hurt, pain, trials and tribulations. If were honest we're more so a magnet for it. However, reality is when you're going through who is it that you can really call on? Yes, most would say that why you go to the church. Not to knock the church but my question is can you really? As young adults I know there are things we experience in life that somebody else has dealt with. Yet, at the same time you would never know because everyone wants to portray this perfect lifestyle. You know, like they have it all together. While in the meantime you have people hurting and crying out for help BUT don't feel connected to a soul to convey what their experiencing. Not only that but then the fear of being judged or everyone in their circle or around the church knowing all your personal business.

In my short life on this earth I've learned it's ok to be a Christian and to say your hurting and/or you're going through a tough time in your life. In reality if Christians expressed this more saved will fill ok with not putting on this "church front"; and the unsaved will feel secure with viewing the church as the place they could actually come and get healed. However, we must realize we can't heal anyone else until we heal ourselves. The time has come and gone to fake what life dishes out because of a title you hold in church. Individuals are mentally dying because they when life get to hard that don't have anyone to talk to. Yet, that should be you.

It's time to break the cycle! Break the cycle of title holding but not holding someone's hand as they take this walk. Break the cycle of I'm a Christian and I can't relate to anything but church related matters; when after church more matters than that. Break the cycle of because I'm a Christian I my life is peaches and cream. Break the cycle of thinking every time the preacher says something about "church folk" he not talking to you. Break the cycle of leaving our brother & sisters to fend for themselves when you are in the position to help. Break the cycle of fakeness, putting on & church foolery. Break the cycle of hating on each other and tearing one another down.We often talk about how in the streets they kill one another but within the Christian world its the same. If we don't Break the Cycle; our killing rate will soon be at an all time high.

My hearts cry is that we can learn to first be real with ourselves and then be real with each other. It's your life's journey be an example to those coming behind you. The ball is in your court and are you down to help... BREAK THE CYCLE?!!??!?

Word Up Wednesday

And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me

2 Corinthians 12:9 (KJV)

But He said to me, My grace (My favor and loving-kindness and mercy) is enough for you [sufficient against any danger and enables you to bear the trouble manfully]; for My strength and power are made perfect (fulfilled and completed) and ^[a]show themselves most effective in [your] weakness. Therefore, I will all the more gladly glory in my weaknesses and infirmities, that the strength and power of Christ (the Messiah) may rest (yes, may^[b]pitch a tent over and dwell) upon me!

2 Corinthians 12:9 (Amplified)
