“And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM…”
Exodus 3:14
Everyday I stand in awe of the diversity there is in the make of God’s children. The believer and the non-believers. The worshipers and non-worshipers. The club-goers and non-club-goers. The drinkers and non-drinkers. The sexually promiscuous, sexually inactive and the virgins. The preacher and the non-preachers.

The Spirit did not let the conversation end without speaking through me to tell her that whether she knew it or not, liked it or now, actively believed or not, what she believed in was GOD. Although she may have spoken out of playfulness when she said perhaps I can talk to Him for her, it resonated with me.
You getting too deep girl right now girl,” was the last response she gave in a tired voice, as another dismissive wave came about.
As we parted ways, I assured her that I would definitely talk to God for her. CONTINUE READING HERE
