HE liberally supplies

Philippians 4:19 (Amplified Bible)
And my God will liberally supply ([a]fill to the full) your every need according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus.


I have most recently been faced with difficult situations that have driven me closer to the Throne of Grace. As I read the above scripture this morning I am reminded, encouraged and comforted in knowing that every need I have GOD liberally supplies and fills to the full. Which means we don't have to lack anything because our provider, our sustainer, our healer, our deliverer provides it all according to HIS great riches in glory in Christ Jesus.



The past two weeks I attended the funerals of two dear cousins {Ronald (JR) and Byron (BJ)Coleman, ages 27 and 26 respectively}. Their lives and deaths have left an enormous impact on my life. I am pursuaded to love GOD the more, to pursue HIM with everything that is within me and to live according to HIS terms and HIS plans...not my own or anyone else's for that matter.



I witnessed how this tragedy affected countless lives for one reason or the other. There are questions with no answers, pain that seems unbearable, voids left in a mother and father's heart, and children left to mourn the absence of their fathers, but to all of this I say...But GOD! To this I say GOD supplies EVERY need. JESUS is a man of sorrow, acquainted with grief and He promises that as we approach the throne of Grace we obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need (thanks Apostle A :). Even now, I declare that every loved one left to mourn BJ and JR are finding grace to help in this time of need.



I dedicate this blog to these two precious lives that have been snatched away into eternity. I have realized that I have allowed fear to cripple me from being all that GOD has called me to be (this blog, especially). But with renewed focus and determination I press. What has happened was not in vain, it can not be in vain.



Dear LORD, the life that I have been given I want to use it to bring pleasure to You. I lived enough of it for my own desires and pleasures. Today, unlike BJ and JR I have the opportunity to do things differently. May every reader of this blog and I live with the awareness that we are not created for ourselves. It is truly NOT about us but all about You. Jesus, be the air we breathe, the lyric of every song, the beating of our hearts, the hope that we cling to. Help us to delight ourselves in You and in You alone.



Loving HIM passionately....
