Parents: Be careful who you listen to as it pertains to your children. Teachers, family, coworkers & friends will tell you they aren't well behaved, need medication, are "behind", or developmentally delayed. But what did GOD say? Don't let anyone speak that type of negativity over your child. I don't know about yours but MINE, that God entrusted me with, is fearfully and wonderfully made.
That doesn't mean to totally ignore certain behaviors that we notice in our children. James 1:5 says "If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him." To me that means that we should consult God before we consult teachers, doctors, psychologists, psychiatrists, etc. God will speak to our spirits and order our steps. After all, these children aren't ours they are His. Would you like it if someone made decisions for your son or daughter without consulting you first? Doubt it. Be good Stewards over everything God gives you, including His children. -Fatimah XOXO

I decided to post the lyrics to a very popular new contemporary gospel song by Marvin Sapp. Really great song. There's a reflection question at the end.
The Best in Me by Marvin Sapp > He saw the best in me When everyone else around Could only see the worst in me Can I tell ya’ll one more time, one more time? I said he saw the best in me When everyone else around Could only see the worst in me I wish I had a witness tonigth All I need is one Heyyy He saw the best in me (When everyone else around me) When everyone else around (oohh) (Could only see)) Could only see the worst in me Does anybody have that testimony? When folk walks you off Said you would never make it, what did he see? He saw the best in me (When everyone else around you yeaa) When everyone else around (Ooohh, could only) Could only see the worst in me Can I tell ya’ll one more thing? I just need to tell you one more thing (Listen to this) See he’s mine, and I am his It doesn’t matter what I did He only sees me, for who I am Does anybody know that today? Oh… Ohh See he’s mine, and I am his It doesn’t matter what I did He only sees me, for who I am Does anybody know that today?

The question is simply this… What did he see? He saw the best in me (When everyone else around me) When everyone else around (oohh) (Could only see)) Could only see the worst in me I can’t get no help us in here Because there are some folk in here People have walked you off Said you would never amount to anything Said that you would never end up being anywhere But tell them one more time He saw the best in me (When everyone else around me) When everyone else around (oohh) (Could only see)) Could only see the worst in me When mama said you would never be nothing When aunties and uncles said you would never amount to anything When daddy didn’t come home anymore he didn’t look at you and said that You wasn’t going to make it God looked at you And what did he see What did he see? He saw the best The best The best The best The best The best The best The best I said what did he see I said what did he see I said what did he see I said what did he see I said what did he see I said what did he see He saw the best in me (Oh lord, oh, lord) Can I sing the verse one more time, listen to this ya’ll I love this, I love this See he’s mine, and I am his It doesn’t matter what I did But he only sees me for who I am Ohhhhhh, Lord, Yeahh….

When God looks at us he see's Christ (for those who are saved/born again). Thank God. Can you think of an area in your life where noone thought you'd make it but you succeeded anyway? I can honestly say 've never experienced that. I have been blessed enough to be surrounded by people who have faith in my talents, abilities, and capabilities. Your thoughts..? -Fatimah XOXO |
