I think therefore I am...nothing.

"Brothers, think of what you were when you were called. Not many of you were wise by human standards; not many of you were influential; not many of you were of noble birth. But God chose the foolish things of this world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of this world to shame the strong. He chose the lowly things of this world and despised things--and the things that are, so that no one may boast before him." - 1 Corinthians 1: 26-29

This is the first time in a while since i've read my bible and this is the first thing i came across. today i found out three things that made me numb yet nonchalant. my uncle's vision is at 10% in both of his eyes, my aunt is stressed and now is losing her hair, and lastly my cousin is going through a period of depression due to the fact that she can't speak to her mom about anything.

I Praise you God for who you are sincerely, despite the words and emotions that may cause me to go these routes in life, my family members go through these things but God your using me to shed a light upon people of your goodness.

God calls us to recognize something within ourselves...we are dust. it speaks in the book of Ecclesiastes 3:20" All go to the same place; all come from the dust, and to the dust all return." it was God in the book of Genesis who "breathed into his nostrils the breath of life". we must come to terms that if it wasnt for God our existence would be null and void.

these verses are a testimony, God removed us out of our circumstances, out of our lifestyles, out of those troublesome ways to help us to realize we need not be proud or want to be exalted for our mistakes, or our present circumstances...there is no reason to boast God covers us with His love. His love for us that endures forever gives us a reason to boast about Him to the people. I am not ashamed to say God is good. I am not ashamed to say i pray and go to church. i am not ashamed of God. it's His love that pushes me forward.

"Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away." -1 Corinthians 13:8

"Hatred stirs up dissension but love covers all sins"-Proverbs 10:12

God, i thank You for this time of reflection. I thank you for everything you've done in my life to teach me about life itself, its meanings teachings and values. God i just pray that all may recognize who You are. God forgive me of all my transgressions and iniquities, infirmities alike. i realize that without You i have no reason to be proud what am i to gain with the pride of life? Let the angels of heaven exalt you for you alone are worthy of my Praise. Jesus let you light hibernate within us. Its in Jesus name where all things are made whole.Amen
