I find it funny how people like to keep it a secret about what God has done in their lives. Many times, they would prefer to keep this persona like everything is going good, like life is great, when all actuality he/she probably just came out of a major situation. Instead of telling someone about it, maybe be a witness or provide motivation, you keep it to your self. You loose cool points when people think you never experienced anything before, they will just passover you feeling that you are not aware of how it feels to suffer.
I know a guy that loves to make people believe his life is just wonderful. However, when you are going through things, whether you want to show it or not, there are tell tell signs. Anyway, he appeared to be falling apart while trying to hold everything together. My vision is clear and I have lived enough of life to be able to tell when someone is having problems. Well, instead of admitting life wasn't all that grand, he would lie about why his car was taken, he would lie about his "balla" status when clearly he was working in the same dress shirt, slacks, and a pair of run over shoes for the pass five months (just to clarify, I'm not making jokes, I'm only pointing out the signs). He rarely smiled, and the once stand up guy was now just doing any ole thing to make money, including scamming those around him. I knew something was up, but maybe he felt like if he told, we would loose respect. Until this day, he will not tell "whats really going on".
We all struggle sometimes. These situations humble us, make us stronger, and we learn life lessons. These situations are also meant to help other people while you going through and when you come out of it. Let your situation become a witness for what God can do and how God can change your life. Its time to stop worrying about what people will think. There are "mad haters" everywhere waiting to see you fail. However, there are just as more people who need an encouraging word. Who need to see you still smiling in the mist of it all. BE A WITNESS FOR THE LORD.
Romans 3:23 For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God.
We all know no one is perfect, so stop trying to be. People laugh at those who "fake it". If they aren't laughing, then they are at the water cooler discussing it. Tell your story, let people know how far you come. Don't keep it to your self. Feel free to use my blog and tell your story about either what you are going through now, or what you have gone through in life. I am not ashamed to tell mine...are you?
Until next time...
