Not Tryin to Preach...but...

Look some gonna take this the wrong way so lemme say this b4 I start:I AIN'T NO PREACHER!! I was talkin to my cousin today and she's one of those emotional type of females and when we were growin up we didn't get along because I couldn't understand why she was so girly and she thought that since I played football I was beneath her, but we grew up and now we're close. But there are some females at her school that just don't like her and at first I thought I was gonna have to fly out to Pittsburgh and lose my salvation lol but then I realized it was just someone hatin on her and talkin about her because she wouldn't do what they do. Lemme tell you they put her through hell, she cried, wouldn't go to the classes they shared, wouldn't join organizations they belonged to no matter how much she wanted to be involved because to her it was that bad and I had to snap on her...There was a job she wanted and she wouldn't go to the interview because one of the witches works there, mind you-SHE AIN'T GOT NO JOB!!! How you gonna be picky and you BROKE!!?? you ain't gettin no loan from me!!! {lol}
WHO CARES THAT THEY DON'T LIKE YOU!!??!! Lemme tell yall something there are some things we avoid because some body talks about us, you scared what somebody gonna say bout you but in the next breath you so holy you talkin bout "walkin with the king" while at the same time bowin ya head like you ain't got no protection. PICK YA HEAD UP, WALK STRONG AND KNOW THAT YOU SERVE A GOD SO POWERFUL THAT HE BATS HIS EYE AND THUNDER ROLLS, CLAPS HIS HANDS AND LIGHTENING FLASHES!!! But the thing you need to understand is it's not what people do or say to you that kills you but what you do and think for yourself. The things they do to hurt you is so insignificant that you could even stop prayin about it...just walk sweetie.
Think about Mechach, Shadrach, and Abenego. 3 Hebrew boys workin under the king, one day King Nebuchadnezzar was feelin himself so much that he built a gold statue and ordered everyone to bow down to worship it. Knowin the God they served the 3 would not bow down and some hatin Jews told on 'em. The king gave them one more chance to bow out or be put in the furnace and with strength they said we don't have to explain our God but we not bowin to no statue. Nebuchadnezzar ordered the furnace to be turned up 7 times hotter {pay attention to the numbers-you'll get it in the end} and he ordered them to be tied up and tossed up by some of his strongest men because they disrespected his "god".
When the men threw them in the flames were so hot it killed THEM, not Mechach, Shadrach, or Abenego.How you gonna defend your "god' and with no fight from your enemy you get killed??? The king felt smug until he looked inside the furnace, and saw 4 figures walkin around in there!!!He might've looked at the bodies of his strongest men and lost his mind. So anyway, he called them out and they not only came out like nothing was wrong but they didn't even smell like smoke!!!
In my posts I keep sayin not to worry about what people wanna say about you but I'm so sincere about this. If it's not someone that you cared about before they started bashin you why you gonna care after??? That fire was turned up 7 times hotter than usual for their bold defiance-7 is God's perfect number:your hell situation may be set up perfect just for you and your bold unique self. 3 is His holy number:Father, Son, Holy Ghost whom we walk with everyday but in the furnace there was a 4th figure, 4 is the number of completion: since Jesus said I'll never leave you nor forsake you, you can easily walk through your hell with praise on your lips and when they see you smiling they'll get confused, when they see you prospering they'll lose their mind and when it's all over you will come out not even smellin like the hell you were just in!!! Stand strong, keep fighting, keep pressing, keep prayin...faith it's an amazing thing.
