WHAT IS THE COLOR OF PAIN? Is it Orange?
I had to take a moment to stop today to give acknowledgment that God is a provider! God will show up and prove His Words and promises to us concerning our gifts and destinies. Deliverance is a valuable piece of equipment that is needed to fulfill what God indeed called you to do and not what others and their opinions dictate to you.
The COVID season brought the best and the worse out of a lot of people. We got to see the hearts of people like never before. We have a self-serving world now that although many tried to run from themselves or mask their true identities, the veil was still removed. The true heart is being worn on the outside and it is quite unnerving. Realizing the fight within ourselves is the fight we truly need to win. Identifying who we really are, and what we really want is almost too hard to look at head-on. So, we spend our lives hiding behind a mask of narcissism that we did not know exists in all of us.
The bottom line, keep the faith that God will guide you. Don’t let anyone measure how much God you have in your cup. No one can measure you based on their limited perspective of God’s will for YOUR life. Most people think they are right, right about whatever they are passionate about. We have these crazy debates that have nothing to do with God and the reason for our presence. We must fight for our freedom, the freedom of our minds and destiny. It is difficult to be ordered by the Lord and by the opinions of others. You have to listen to one voice and that is God’s because a Narcissistic person has a hidden agenda. They don’t care how you feel if it affects what they want.

That is why we really need God because people, WE ARE A MESS!!!
When you connect your heart to God, you will know it. Things might not look like the world around you but be true to yourself and your relationship with God. There is something happening in this world today and it is called awareness. Once you allow God to open your eyes to see that we all are struggling with something. We all have to work on ourselves and not leave people hurt and bleeding. Open your heart and allow God to be the one you lean on to be kind, loving, and fair. God has no agendas other than the one that He has for your journey. That is what I believe.
Try very hard not to depend on anyone to make you happy. Being happy is a surface thing, you want to have JOY! Yes, Joy! The Joy that comes from the Lord. It is connected to Faith, if you have faith in the Lord, you know that it will bring you Joy. Faith is believing that everything will be alright. Faith will cause your hung-down head to be lifted because you know “joy comes in the morning”. There is joy in believing.
I believe that I am loved by the Lord, and He has something special in store for me. How do I know that? He has already shown Himself to be in control of everything. He knows where I am, emotionally, spiritually, physically, and mentally. He always ministers to the place that I hurt the most and then He takes those dark moments, molds them into something brand new and THEN He lays them around like Easter Eggs! He doesn’t hide His gifts where I cannot find them, He hides them in places where I am led. He uses my gifts like keys and every time I am where I am supposed to be, the keys turn, and the doors open!! I am so grateful!
Why Orange? I imagine it is hard to be Red because it has so many responsibilities and pressures on the ability to stand out in a crowd. Red is a color that commands respect, be it an outfit or a convertible sports car. Red is the color of Blood, need I say more. If you add a little Yellow it gives Red support to be a better version of itself. I realize it is ok to be Red, but you can join it with yellow to make orange without losing its identity. Regardless of what happens, it is known that Red contributed to the color even if yellow attempts to overshadow it. Why? Because using too much Yellow will change the hue of the orange so it is imperative that the colors respect each other and what they bring to the table. On the color stage of life, Red and Yellow would have to walk to the stage together, take a bow together and honor each other. Orange is the product of a commitment to ditch the ego for the common goal. To me, orange is a relaxed color, a color of peace and calm. Orange tries to stay in the background, but often orange will step up front and command the room and invite daggers. Red and Yellow will hold their arms out to introduce Orange to the stage without feeling that they need to tell the audience that they created Orange. Who will really let Orange take a bow without needing the credit for their beauty? Well, I am feeling kinda Orange today.
Anyway, I appreciate God for His special and agape Love. God’s love is not connected to conditions. He hears your heart and moves according to His plan and purpose. Good night, keep praying!
