"Comes To The Light"
I REMEMBER sitting up with my home-girls calling other chicks sluts and h***.
UNTIL one day I became a h**.
I REMEMBER hating my Dad when I was growing up for not being in my life and taking care of someone else's kids over his own flesh and blood.
UNTIL I woke up one day in a Condo right off the beach in Florida that wasn't mines with someone else's son and my boys were no where in sight.
FOR A LONG TIME that was a truth I ran from. A truth I didn't want to own up to. I had messed up really really bad. Unintentionally I became like every person I never wanted to be like. I fell prey to a pimp and today's pimp culture and lost my identity. All the things I said "I would never do" I did. All the places I thought was out of my reach to go I went. Not to pursue my dreams but instead to hit the pavement every night to pay a pimp. To lay on my back and allow men to steal a piece of my precious jewel while my wifey and I robbed him for all he had. Money, Watches, Jewelry and whatever else we could grab. My pain and my heartache gave me ammunition to push my conscience aside and get that money BY ANY MEANS.
TODAY Christ revealed to me all that I went through was to humble me. To teach me mercy. To show me how to be more understanding towards others. To watch what I say before judging a book by its cover without reading it first. BEHIND everyone's downfall lies a story. A reason why it happened. Reasons why their mind has been conformed into thinking that wrong living and wrong choices that they are making are okay..
GODS WAYS are much higher than ours.
Isiah 55:8,9 For my thoughts are not your thoughts,neither are your ways my ways, "As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts."

Most times we will never understand why God allows things to happen in our lives. We just have to trust.
Romans 8:28 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.
God wants to save us from wrath and in order to do that sometimes he has to allow things to happen in hopes that it will lead you to repentance.

1 Corinthians 5:5 hand this man over to Satan for the destruction of the flesh,[a][b] so that his spirit may be saved on the day of the Lord.
2 Peter 3:8-98 But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day. 9 The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.
Next time you see someone and you want to immediately judge or frown up your face because their doing something you don't agree with. Pray for them instead. It only means God ain't through with them yet. I've met some people who grew up around dysfunction and poverty but managed to not let the cycle continue in their life. I've met some people who grew up with parents who did drugs and instead of growing up to be an advocate against illegal drugs they have fell victim to drugs also by becoming a dealer or picking up their own habit. I've met women who were molested and raped as a little girl and become strippers as an adult. I've met some women who just bury the pain and never become strippers but are promiscuous and involved in unhealthy relationships because they bury and hide that pain instead of seeking healing. They carry the pain of their past and it molds them into someone they don't even want to be. I've met men and women who neglect their children because they experienced the same neglect as a child and don't know the real importance of what it truly means to be a parent. Nobody told them about the Heavenly Father who loves them and never leaves or forsakes them. Nobody taught them Kingdom Principles. So hold your judgments and listen to someone's story. Be a helping hand instead of talking down because you can't understand why they do what they do.
I forgave my Dad. After sitting up and talking with my dad one Saturday evening. I forgave everyone who contributed to hurting me. Some people don't even know that I had anger built up towards them from negative things they said or did that I never forgot but kept held inside. I realized just how human each and every one of us are. We all have a story and along the way we will make mistakes. We have to be merciful towards others even when we don't want to but not to take them off the hook but because God teaches us to. I forgave myself for allowing my pain to rule over my life. I forgave myself for the wrong choices I made that affected me and my family.

Matthew 18:21-22 The Parable of the Unmerciful Servant21 Then Peter came to Jesus and asked, “Lord, how many times shall I forgive my brother or sister who sins against me? Up to seven times?”22 Jesus answered, “I tell you, not seven times, but seventy-seven times.[a]
The knowledge that you have they may not have it yet.The Christ you serve they may not know or understand yet. They may be running off of pain that you can't see in the clothes they wear or the way they live. Pain that's hidden deep within. The strength that you have to overcome pain they haven't realized that they have the same power living in them to overcome what's hurting them.
We all have a story and darkness that we had to overcome. Some stories you may not understand or agree with. That's okay. Keep your trust in God and he will work it all out.
Eventually everything comes to the light. Now I can breathe. Now I am Free. Christ has set me free.
