Intentional
Updated: Jul 28, 2021
Hey Beautiful Family!
How was last night? Let me know here or on my FanellElane social media. Yesterday on Transformation Talks we talked about Repentance and OH MY GOODNESS! The Holy Spirit was speaking...it convicted me! Catch the replays on my Fanell Elane Facebook Page.
So today's blog, as my birthday is 5 days away including today, is about being intentional. What is intention? My simple definition...ON PURPOSE!!
Ya'll as I reflect on my life, the Holy Spirit is unfolding and uncovering so much. Layer by layer, He is transforming me from the inside out. Each comparison photo below is less than a year a part when taken. Yes from 2018-2019. God is so good!
As I look at myself, my heart is warmed with love, joy, and peace. I look at my countenance, my affect, my skin, my features, even my hair, and my mind is BLOWN by the goodness of the Lord.
The pictures on the left, my mind was either in such a dark and depressed state or starting the process of being renewed. I didn't see myself as God saw me. The pictures on the right, my mind was being awakened to my identity in position in life, who is actually Jesus! Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life...(John 14:6 KJV). My mind has been renewed and the Lord keeps healing and restoring those things stolen, killed, or destroyed my the enemy when it comes to WHO I am and WHOSE I am. See, we even say that often - that we know WHO and WHOSE we are. Like I know I am a daughter of Christ and that I am God's. The question I have for you though is, do you not only know WHOSE you are, but WHO HE IS? Do you know God? Do you know His nature? Do you know how He operates?
My mind was so confused and cloudy that I was just numb to life and thought God cause EVERYTHING to happen to me. Well even in the last month, the Lord has been ministering to me about Romans 8:28 KJV, "And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose." Ya'll when you love God and are called according to HIS purpose...ALL THINGS work together for GOOD. Everything I have been through, from a baby all the way to know and even today work together for GOOD. I hear this all the time: "Even though it may not be God sent, it can be God used." This is the truth!! Why? BECAUSE GOD IS INTENTIONAL ABOUT YOU!
Let's start seeking to be more intentional about Him.
Again, join me tonight at 8PM EST for Transformation Talks as we dive into another topic!
