It remains to be seen.....

I knew I wanted to blog about something, just didn't know about WHAT. With one million + things to blog about, I had a hard time trying to come up with something of substance to say. So, as I logged on the computer to go to Pandora to hear some music, I said to myself...."The first song title that comes up, that's what I'll blog about in some form or fashion"...lol. And low & behold, the first song that came on was "Best In Me" by Marvin Sapp...and so it is!

Showing PROOF....lol!
THE BEST IN ME

As I think about that title, I want to take a different approach & ask myself have I truly let the "BEST" show through? I mean, its one thing for people to visibly see your good works (encouraging others through words, participating in ministry & touching a life, doing a great work, etc.)....but would I say that its truly the BEST that I have to offer? NO would honestly be my answer. The BEST in me has yet to come out. This I know because I haven't shown it. Now true enough, when I do all of the aforementioned things I put alot of thought and care into it, but I could give much more. It wouldn't hurt me to allow God to work even more on my behalf than he has already. Laziness and fear are two of the most deadliest weapons that hinder our progress, therefore we don't give the BEST in us. I have more to live for, and if people think they've already seen the BEST IN ME, they're certainly in for a rude awakening because God has more for me to do. Now the question is, Shenina, are you WILLING to allow your BEST to show? My answer would be YES & NO because I'm not sure if I'm ready. Letting my BEST show will require some blood, sweat, tears, disappointment, hurt, and even some pain at which I don't think I'm ready to endure fully. On the other hand, I am ready because I want to reap the benefits of being obedient! Now isn't that a bit contradictory? Lol. We always want our cake & to eat it too...but we don't want to put in the work to actually make & BAKE it!

So the BEST IN ME has yet to make its worldwide debut. Sometimes I truly feel that fear of the unknown (mixed with laziness, lol) is preventing me from doing alot of things. It isn't soley based on if God has said MOVE or not, but its ME that's blocking ME from experiencing pure Joy in its fullest form. That's something I'm still praying about & I know God will DELIVER in due time because the best in me remains to be seen! Stay tuned!


Thanks for reading......
