If there is one thing that I am certain of, it is the fact that God is our greatest source for all things. Whatever it is we need desire or want—our Heavenly Father is the ONE source that will always give to us what we need and even what we desire. Yet, for many of us, God is the last source that we go to. We will go to everyone BUT God, and wonder why we find ourselves in dire situations with a growing bitterness in our hearts and mind that become less trusting as each day passes and every unfulfilled desire and need.

I decree that this week’s Reflections will be a continued source of encouragement and inspiration for your heart mind and soul. Run to God today. Run to Him with all that you have bottled up in your heart mind and soul. There is no one like Jesus that can take care of you and answer every question and prayer; especially the secret ones that no knows about but you and God. Trust Him this week. Dedicate this week to getting reacquainted with the Father and allow Him to restore your heart and renew your faith.

Listen; I have been where many of you are and have been when it comes to wanting something so bad that you feel as though it is never going to happen. Every door you knock on stays closed. Every open door you walk through suddenly closes. Every cup you go to drink from dries up. It is as if every time you get a little money, it is gone and you don’t even know how! Like, you put money in your pockets, and there has been a hole in your pocket and you have been losing money all along.

It is a devastating thing to feel like you are never going to make it. That, you are never going to realize your hopes and dreams. That, at every turn, there is someone waiting to knock you back down and steal the little piece of happiness you just managed to gain. To feel like, you have a great job, only to wake up the next day and your job no longer exists! It is a crazy feeling that washes over you, that sometimes leaving you desperate, angry, hurt, and even scared.

Yet, my dear Beloveds, there is a Source that is endless. A Source, that will never let us down. A Source, who will continue to give, and give and give and never run out. A Source, that holds the answers to every one of our questions. Who knows the secrets of where our treasure lies. A Source who has unlimited resources and has already made a way for us if we would just believe in Him, and follow His instructions. GOD is that Source. He is the only one who understands us so completely and has the ability to see us through every situation and STILL love us in spite of our doubts and previous lack of faith and rejection of who He is.

Beloved, nobody will love you better than Jesus. Nobody will give you what you need to get you where you want to be. God is the greatest source that many of us only run to when we have exhausted every other avenue. Though the Father will still greet us with open arms, because He loves us past our faults, flaws, and sins—if we were to go to Him from the beginning, it would alleviate the pressure we often encounter when we are trying to make it. Trying to figure things out. Trying to get to the next day and live our best lives possible.

I am going to be transparent with you, because, 1. I want you to know the truth, 2. I can only be transparent and authentic, 3. I desire for you to have all that God has ordained for your life and 4. I do not want you to think or believe for a moment that you are alone in this, or there is something wrong with you or your life. Beloved, God is the Source that keeps on giving. If only we would take Him at His word, and believe Him and follow what He instructs us to do; it would save us so much trouble.

There will never be anyone like God, our Father. No one but Jesus, who made the ultimate sacrifice for our sins, giving us access to eternal life and a completely new life on this earth filled with His promises. I have been to that place where you start doing things and get so wrapped up in the everyday things that you forget that God is your strength and in order for you to keep going, you need to feed your soul; fuel it with the very thing that is needed to keep moving forward. We do not live by bread alone, but by the word of God, spoken into our lives. I neglected my Source. I did not take care of my spiritual well because I was too preoccupied with the gifts given, that I forgot to stay connected to the Source of all the resources. God will gently remind us of what we're missing. He will first whisper. Then He will send a messenger. Then He will allow us to get into a situation, where He is the only person that can get us out.

God loves us completely, unconditionally, and has the resources that we need to accomplish what He has ordained for our lives. Beloved, God loves us so very much. We spend so much time seeking all these paths for happiness, wealth, health, and we neglect the greatest source available to us, that resides in our heart—Our Heavenly Father. He is Jehovah Jireh—our Provider. He is, Jehovah Shammah—there with us always, through EVERYTHING that we go through. He is, Jehovah Rohi—our Shepherd, leading us in the path that we should go.

My Beloveds, I decree that the spirit of peace and of prosperity has found permanent rest in your lives. I decree that every good thing that God has ordained for your life will become evident to you. GO TO GOD FIRST! Let Him be your source for all things who will lead you to the resources that He has already ordained for you. There is no one who loves you more than your Creator, and He will always have what you need and even what you desire. Trust Him. You are blessed. Now go…and be a blessing.
