look, if your life isn’t messy with God, i wonder if you’re even doing it right😭 Jesus made it clear in Matthew 10:34 that He wants all the smoke 💨

and this coming from the Prince of Peace ??? 🤣😩 no, but seriously, you’re going to have questions — a lot of them. you’ll be tempted — but not more than you can bear. you’ll be confused — but God isn’t the author of that, so He’ll guide you through.
you may not know what God wants from you right now or where you land in all of this, but let’s solidify some things today🙏🏽🤍
There are times when we look at our life and think “what the heck”. There are times when God looks at our life and says “watch me turn it for good”. Mess is just one of the many ways that God shows his sovereignty, he will allow us to go through all of those hard days + nights just so that purpose is fulfilled.
See where you see no way out, he see’s you walking towards destiny. When you see pain, he sees proper placement. As you see oppositions, he sees opportunities.
Your mess is a testimony, because your foundation is built on the promises of God🎯
the messiest moment i ever had with God was when He took me out of my last relationship. i had been w this person for 5 years + although it was toxic i was trying so hard to turn it around. for a moment, it actually seemed as if it was turning around. engaged, + 30 days until the wedding. but then He told me to leave when i got a minor concussion.
the day i left, i paced my friends room, crying, praying, screaming, + throwing things. i felt like i was losing it. i was a MESS. losing weight, cut my hair, the whole sha-bang. i demanded that God make sense of what was happening!
well, it ended up being the best decision i could’ve ever made in my life. it’s how i know a lot of you, it’s how there is even a Planet Womanaire today. it saved my life from years of abuse + toxicity. it saved me🙏🏽
one of the messiest moments I ever had with God was when He told me to reach out & develop a relationship with my Dad who had left when I was 10 years old for drugs & alcohol. He was an addict. I remember being 18 at the time . I wanted nothing to do with my Dad because I was more hurt than I realized.
I remember the night that I was struggling to make the initial phone call. I was trying to negotiate with God because I knew what He was telling me to do was going to require a level of sacrifice that I wasn’t sure I was ready to make. I was more comfortable walking around as a hurt and angry girl who used being fatherless as an excuse. I was a mess.
Fast forward to 3 years later, by listening to God and developing that relationship with my father it has not only helped me develop my purpose, but it has helped heal the little girl inside of me. My father is now my bestfriend, & I cant imagine doing life without him.
God we thank you for divine community. thank you for being so strategic in every area of our lives, more importantly thank you for blessing our mess. You continue to confirm that our life is purposed, that we are in the best hands.That you love us through our ups and downs and will give us beauty for our ashes.
You see us as worthy and called so I rebuke any fear that will try to creep into our walks of life. I speak peace to anyone who is struggling with their mess. I speak supernatural strength to my sisters as we continue to heal, grow, and share our testimonies. Thank you for covering and aligning us in every season. In Jesus name Amen🤍
