In a world that everything has become acceptable and blindly tolerable, you must decide and take a stand for what is permissible for you. Be true to yourself by choosing the only standard that will bring a favorable eternal outcome. Being true to yourself means being honest in your own heart. If you are not up to par in your walk with God then just admit it then make the adjustments and grow up and move forward. We all know it is miserable to be out of the will of God. Many times you can see the distress and void on people’s faces. They pretend to be having a good time (spiritually and naturally). They smile yet all the while they are kicking against the pricks of their God given destiny. They try to engage in vain amusements and mind cluttering activities so they won’t have to think about the sorrow and emptiness that press daily on their hearts.

Being true to one self means to stop the facade and get off the roller coaster of worldliness. It means getting down to business with you. It means pointing your own finger in your own face and saying stop, no more pretenses, it’s all or nothing, I choose to go forward.

Being true to yourself means staying with your decision to obey God no matter what anybody else chooses to do.

Being true to yourself means stepping back and letting God take the lead in your life. We can do nothing without God yet we can do all things through Him.

God’s Love is a protective force that drives away our enemies. When we veer from the path of love our enemies gets the advantage in our lives and the work of our hands become vulnerable to the devourer. We allow a breach to form in our armor when we forsake love. There is no armor that will protect you from the attacks of darkness when you step outside of love. The enemies of strive, bitterness, hatred, envy, pride, sickness, disease, anger, blame, condemnation, fear, competitive jealousy, low self-esteem, selfishness, delusion, fantasy, procrastination, murmuring, complaining etc. will prevail in our lives when we fail to embrace and demonstrate the Father’s love. The shield of faith can no longer guard you when love is not the governing force in your life. Problems will overtake you when love is not in operation. The cares of life will consume you when you detour from love. You will be overwhelmed and distracted when Love is not your God. Confessions of faith will fail to work for you when you are not living a life totally yielded to the Love of God. The scriptures remind us that love never fails however we fail when we are not submitted to love. Love will protect you and guide you through this life’s journey. It will be your shield and buckler. Love will empower your faith so that mountains that stand tall in your way are gone in a day. Love will protect your marriage and other relationships in your life. Love will strengthen you and assure answers are available when you need them. Love will cause peace to flow like a river in your life and destroy chaos and confusion. Love will overtake and drive out all fear from you. Love will assure that your prayers are answered and stand guard to see your dreams and visions become a reality. Love will never leave or forsake you; it will always be with you and support you. Love will fight your battles of faith and deliver victory to the door step of your life daily. Love is a protective force that is undefeatable. Live for love and let love live through you each and every day.
