The Vessel.

VESSELS

There are many types of vessels as you can see in the photo above. Vessels are used on boats, in doctor offices, & even in humans. All these DIFFERENT TYPES of VESSELS ALL USED IN DIFFERENT PLACES BUT WITH ONE SOLE PURPOSE IN MIND! To carry, transport, or move something from one place to another. The vessels in our bodies are detrimental to our LIFE, them being the transporter of blood from our hearts all to our ENTIRE body..whom doesn't need VESSELS! & EVERY OTHER MEMBER OF THE BODY! (Somebody CATCH THAT!) That's why God needs us as vessels to be used in each other's life.

 "DESTROY THE VESSEL. DESTROY THE WORD"

"He can't destroy the word so he'll try to destroy the vessel that's sent to bring forth the word." words from my mentor & big cousin. The Word. A Word. A Word of Encouragement. A word of Love. A Word of Peace. A Word of Praise. The enemy had tried & was trying his very best to choke the Word out of me. Kill me by car accidents. Lock me up. Destroy my previous testimony. Kill me here so I wouldn't have one.

Kill the word. Steal the word. Destroy the words. Kill the sweet words that God & His people had spoken to me. He tried to steal MY words. My testimony. He tried to shut me up! He didn't want me to "EXPOSE" him or myself. 

He tried to destroy what God had spoken to me. The things that God had said about me & my life. But hahaha...God said, I came that she might have life. & have it more abundantly. John 10:10 So now I have LIFE.

I have My word's back because I know have God's word back. I have life because I invited God back into my life. & we know that God is THE WORD & THE WORD IS GOD.

Which makes sense as to why after 25 years of living I'm realizing that it's OKAY TO BE DIFFERENT. TO STAND ALONE. TO WALK ALONE. TO BE YOU! GOD created ME specifically this way for a reason. The Word & the world as close as they sound are far from being the same. The Word = LIFE & GOD He was in the world, and the world was made through Him, and the world did not know Him. He came to His own, and His own did not receive Him.( John 1:10-11 NKJV) So I have the Word. & I have God. But the Word says in the world God's OWN people didn't know God. How coincidental because in this world TODAY, I feel like MY OWN PEOPLE don't even know me.
& that's fine. It's okay because I'm honestly just getting to know me. & in that is knowing that when you are called to higher purposes & higher places there will be lots of unfamiliar & familiar faces. Some to cheer you on & some who would honestly rather see you off than on but that's where The Word steps in & gives life. It gives direction. It gives guidance. Your word is a lamp to my feet And a light to my path. (Psalms 119:105 NKJV)

& ooo how I need some light. The light of LIFE! I can truly say I've been in living in darkness for the larger part of my life & let's just say it hasn't been pretty. What's tougher is the adjustments that your eyes have to get used to after being in darkness for so long & then coming into the light. You're stunned because there's sooo much to be seen that you just couldn't see before. Why because you were in darkness! Your eyes see things different in darkness. I could only see a shadow of what was in store for my life. When with the light & in the light I can see the fullness of what's in store. Although, I can't see the entirety of the picture because I know the artist, the creater, the author of the beginning to the end I'm confident in my knowledge of His work that although the beginning has been shaky & rough...there will be no comparison to what we see in the end. For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. (Romans 8:18 NKJV)
