NOT BY CHANCE/Rashea@LLO2 Academy
Not by chance. You were a choice. God doesn't make mistakes. God pre-destined your whole life.
God called you on purpose for a purpose beyond what you purposed, hoped for your life to be or to become. "I know, and I am sure of what I have planned for your life. They are good plans; plans to advance you and not to set you back or to keep you complacent. They are plans to give you a positive outcome (Proverbs 29:11)."
Not sure of what to do next? Well, did you ask God? Let's start there.
Listen to the inner intuition that is guiding you from within.
You will know you are on the right path, because you will have the confirmation and the affirmation that you are going the right way and doing the right thing. I liken this to being on the road. You set out to a destination, and while on the path, there are mile markers set in place to assure you that you are going the right way. These mile markers show you how much further you have yet to go and how far you have come, before arriving at your destination.
STAY ON THE PATH. You are not here by chance. You are here for a purpose that far exceeds anything you could have ever imagined for yourself, and that's what I remind myself of periodically.
Yesterday, January 16th, marked 4 years that God spared my life while in a terrible accident that totaled out my car while driving in a snow storm in 2018. I came out of that accident unharmed by the grace and mercy of God. I know to this very day that that was nobody but God.πππ
I remind myself that God kept me alive for a reason. There are no coincidences in this life. What the devil meant for my harm, God continues to utilize for His plans and purposes and my good.
LLO was started that next year in June 2019. Now when I look back at that day, I see what hell wanted to permit. However, I see what God prevented... harm and death to my life, my family and my dreams.πππ
I do not talk about the accident too often that could have taken my life on that snowy day in the Midwest, but I do reflect around this time of year. I reflect on God's sovereignty and goodness toward me on that day. We sometimes do not know the level of life one bears in quiet, but everyone has a true story and is processing through it. We have overcome... is right, but there is yet so much to become in life through Jesus.
There are no coincidences. Challenges? Yes. However, there is a plausible solution to every challenge that occurs as we patiently wait on God and trust in His guidance and on His timing.
Life has purpose. Life has consequences. Life has lessons. Through life's purposes, consequences and lessons there are many blessings along the way.
There are not coincidences. Take a chance. God is the God of the reset.
He is the God of the beginning, the middle and the end. Life is not the sum of your fears, faults or failures but rather your faith, fortitude and fervent prayers as you move ahead to bigger and better things and to fulfilling your dreams in this thing called life.ππ
