WHO ARE YOU?

Anyone who says it's easy is just trying 2 be positive or maybe just telling a lie. It hasn't been easy and never will be; says who? Says me, Patricia Akwele Quarcoo. Now let me ask you, have you gone through a whole day without feeling guilty or unsure about something? Have you lived with people or your family with things going your way even just a day? Even at home, often when you're right, who are you 2 downplay the elderly? They are always "right" and you'll have 2 'keep your cool'. Have you gone through even half of a semester without series of challenges and heartaches and felt lyk "Lord! Ah! This in particular, 'tis just too much" and felt you couldn't handle it? But i'm glad it's just a 'feeling' and ends there.
I smiled when a friend told me some days ago that if the enemy doesn't cause all these tragedy and pain n all these tests n temptation, who else would? That's what he's here for. That's his work. And the child of God knows that the enemy came to steal, kill and destroy, so i marvel at a child of God who breaks down in trial times. Listen, i understand that you are human and emotions can break you down. But you are not just human. You give too much attention to the flesh! You over-feed the flesh and starve your spirit being and that's so not cool. Do you know how that makes you look like? A living corpse!
It's one thing not knowing about something before it happens or why it is happening, and it's another thing being forewarned. "to be forewarned is to be forearmed". You know why the enemy came, his mission, and you've even been given instances in the Holy Book where he demonstrated such. Besides that, you've been given a guide, a comforter... THE HOLY SPIRIT. Ok, when you open the bible, what do you read? And what insight do you get? If the worldly person is reacting to issues, you do the same? It's not easy, has never been, but get it straight that you are not just like anyone, you are a child of God, a kingdom child, a royal. Act like it! Live it!
