"You can't run from your Purpose" feat TD Jakes... The Pursuit Of Purpose

Jeremiah 32:19 great are your purposes and mighty are your deeds. Your eyes are open to the ways of all mankind; you reward each person according to their conduct and as their deeds deserve.

Into Each Life Some Rain Must Fall

But, once the clouds roll by the rain dries up, we've grown from the Storms of Life waterfalls. 

Known as the Emerald Isle, Ireland is so green because it receives a lot of precipitation. Typical winter weather in Ireland is clouds and rain with the occasional sunny spell, also the Amazon Forest are examples the beautiful landscapes and the Tallest Trees.

As trees grow, they help stop climate change by removing carbon dioxide from the air, storing carbon in the trees and soil, and releasing oxygen into the atmosphere. Trees provide many benefits to us, every day. 

Without them we'd slowly die. Trees contribute to their environment by providing oxygen, improving air quality, climate amelioration, conserving water, preserving soil, and supporting wildlife. During the process of photosynthesis, trees take in carbon dioxide and produce the oxygen we breathe.

This is their "Purpose" to protecting all life on this Planet.

As humans, we have Purpose driven lives that most of us never realize, or those that do feel the burden of living it out day by day. Taking the bitter with the sweet we make plans with high expectations anticipating success or watching as our hands are tied powerless to do anything  painful experiences. It's not coincidence. GOD has brought us into this World to fulfil his purpose once our purpose in this life has be served at the appointed time the journey ends. Our reward for staying "on purpose" is eternal life, a legacy that reflects our footprint on Earth in this life; full of faith, hope, and charity. 

Colossians 1:16 For in him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through him and for him.

Pursue your highest calling by discovering your purpose. ... These 10 quotes from Bishop Jakes will inspire you to relentelessly pursue your purpose in life.

I pray that out of His glorious riches He may strengthen you with power through His Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge--that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God. (Ephesians 3:16-19)

Amen!

Coming from a Black Experience - feat EWF All about Love

Coming from a Black Experience

black poetry

 Being a Woman means strength, nurturing, desire, love, and beauty.  

But, as she evolves from a girl into a young woman, until she becomes mature her strength increases and when she becomes a mother and a wife her nurturing increases as well as her desire for her husband and the need to be encouraged, loved, and desired.

As time evolves the changes of life, illness, strife, financial strains, or separation tests her strength and her tenacity for baring and travailing.  All the while her beauty has changed from sexy her shape changes slightly, by the time she reaches her winter womanhood the glow if she’s blessed her inward beauty will meet her outer beauty like a butterfly released from a cocoon , she’s free and wise a matriarch that wears her beautiful crown proudly.

Men evolve from a boy, who loves playing the hero and seeking adventure by sewing his wild oats, and when he becomes a Man giving up those childish ways so he can become the leader a provider, protector, vigorous & strong, he demonstrates loyalty to those he trust, a hunter always on the hunt to improve his environment and protect his rights.  Males are visual from the time they are born observant they’re attraction always lean toward outward beauty, from cars to beautiful women, all shapes and sizes whose femininity is soft  yet vivaciously strong, then one day, the right one comes along able to serve as his backbone his Queen to be forever and ever.

 He’s now tasked as the leader and protector of his Kingdom always willing to go the extra mile no matter if he has to do it alone or with his partner.

 As they get older, they often fight to hold on to the vitality of their youth.  Always admiring beauty all around it often becomes a struggle not to be tempted into disloyalty they revert to days of their youth having lust of the eyes they often rationalize “well, I can window shop.”  But being a Father and a husband can be rewarding for a man because he has a high bar to fulfill, but if he blessed to have real back support, he’ll always be able to conquer those things he fights day in and day out. 

Seeking only one reward, the Grace of GOD
