Night Talks: You ARE Loved

As you lay, remember:

In Christ...

You ARE important.

You ARE necessary.

You HAVE purpose.

Most importantly, You ARE loved.

Those bold letters are present tense for a reason. I want you to understand that there is nothing that you have to do in order to attain those things. You don't have to fight to be important. You don't have to fight to be necessary. You don't have to fight to have purpose. You are effortlessly loved by God. God doesn't have to manipulate His love for you. When He looks at you, He sees you now. Not who you use to be. Not who you're going to be...BUT the YOU right now, in this moment! You are loved right where you are. You ought to just rest in knowing that!

Tonight, I'm just reminding you of what you already know. I just wanted to confirm that little bit of hope in your heart that seems to be speaking to you so softly while the lies scream at you! You are beautiful and you are LOVED! Believe that.

"Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword? As it is written, “For your sake we are being killed all the day long; we are regarded as sheep to be slaughtered.” No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord."-
Romans 8:35-39

Goodnight Beautiful,

-Mesha R.

Confessions of an Ex-Brokenhearted Girl...

I a lmost always cringe with embarrassment every time I think about how much of a mess I was after my ex-boyfriend and I broke up. The break-up was not initiated by me and although I knew we didn't need to be together, I was comfortable. In my heart I knew that God wasn't being honored in that relationship, and had warned me quite a few times to get out. But I just couldn't do it. I mean, well I could...but let me just be honest with you: Sometimes it's just plain hard to obey God, whom you can't see, vs a man that's sitting in your face. I was choosing a human over God! Now had I had been a mature christian... I would have obeyed quickly because I know that Christ is realer than anything in and out of my life AND humans are purely dust with souls that have to answer to Him. So, November 2, 2013 I surrendered that relationship to God. I told God that I was going to serve Him whole heartily and that I no longer wanted to be half way committed to Him. I had ...

For The SEVENTH time, No.

Okay, So I was reading the book of First Samuel the other day. Some of you may be familiar with that story, but I had a little encounter with God and that story was used to convict me of a little situation...(lol) To be honest, I did not plan to study the book of Samuel this week! I was so into the New Testament and studying the characteristic of Jesus, so I knew it had to have been God that led me back to the Old Testament. Okay so, I attend a really big school, and although I have completely gave my life to Christ, with the evidence of a CHANGED life, I am still human . So truth be told, when this cutie walked pass me and gestured me in some way, you best believe my next prayer was, "LORD is he the ONE?". Yes, girl..It was that deep. (LOL) So anyway: I assume that God was so not down with that, I mean, who does that anyway? It's crazy how we are when it comes down to guys. So, we get saved and make the decision that we're no longer gonna date guys that pull us...

Jesus Did NOT Die For You To Be A Couch Potato Christian!

I sit here on my couch in complete "debate mode" on rather or not I should write this blog. In my head..I'm one of the most productive Christians I know, but in reality..... blah. But Why should I write a blog that will completely expose myself when pretending everything is all good is much easier? Why should I expose myself when the Bible clearly tells us to be ready to expose evil. ...not expose ourselves...(ha) "Take no part in the worthless deeds of evil and darkness; instead, expose them."-Ephesians 5:11 BUT I didn't see anything where it said to expose myself. Well, I said ALL of that to say: SOMETIMES exposing evil can mean ....exposing ourselves. Errrrrrkkkk. Pump the brakes. "Mesha, I am faaaaar from evil. I am a Child of a King...So whatchu mean?! " Yeah, I hear you. But maybe you should consider that you are fully capable of being evil, IF and ONLY IF, you're not careful. And if not EXPOSED, that evil will run c...
