Come out the Closet

When God shifts the ground beneath our wings, sometimes it’s difficult to convince our mind to advance to the next level.

Loyalty rooted from our heart's default presents opposition to our head. It says, "we should continue to answer those dead-end phone calls, acknowledge those random texts, and address those old familiar ties."

So we become trapped on the couch of familiarity.

We suffocate each time we say "yes" to convenience.

We bury our heads in the sand of ignorance to keep from addressing the giants inside the closet.

We bargain with God for transformation, but we reject change.

Today, is the day to come out the closet.

Come out the closet of bitterness.
Come out the closet of anger.
Come out the closet of rejection.

Shake the trap of disappointment. Expecting others to supply your needs is a man made fallacy. Remember--People will only water you for the moment. It NEVER lasts!

Aren’t you tired of feeding off the leftovers?

Is your appetite being satisfied in the closet?

I promise if you give "the lack" to God and let it remain there (fully vested in faith).

He will add substance and subtract superficial.

He will send the increase and plug the deficit.

He will multiply the resources and divide them according to his riches.

He will replenish the harvest and remove the famine.

Come up out of the man-made, trap house and enter into his gates with thanksgiving.

"But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly." -Matthew 6:6

Broken Covenant

Once upon a time— I wanted to believe something was real so desperately that I silenced the Spirit within me just to keep the illusion alive. I saw every red flag— not as warnings, but as tests of how much I was willing to endure to feel chosen. I asked no questions because truth was already whispering, and I feared what obedience would cost me. So I made a covenant with denial— calling lies “grace,” and confusion “patience,” because the truth felt too vast, too holy, too disruptive to the future I had built in my mind. I clung to potential like it was promise, and mistook absence for peace. Yet the weight of it— this thing I called love— crushed my spirit daily. Still, desperation dressed itself as loyalty and convinced me to stay. And it didn’t get better. It decayed. Quietly at first… then unmistakably. Each time God unveiled truth, I chose the comfort of shadows over the calling of light. I pleaded. I prayed. I begged— not for revelation, but for permission to remain where I w...

From Chaos to Calm

After a while… the need to be heard at full volume begins to dissolve. The rooftops grow silent. The flames you once fed with trembling hands no longer feel like power— only exhaustion. What you burned never built a home. And somewhere along the way, you realize— not every echo returns, not every seed takes root, not every mountain was yours to climb. The grace you poured out like water in a desert, the love you offered with open, unguarded hands— it did not come back the way you imagined. And still… you are here. So instead of fighting what refuses to bend, you loosen your grip. Not in defeat— but in awakening. You release the need to be answered, to be chosen, to be understood by those who never learned your language. Your hands, once reaching outward, begin to rise— not in desperation, but in devotion. Upward. Open. Steady. God… I see You now in the quiet I once avoided. I hear You not in the thunder— but in the space where my striving used to live. And I am ready. Something within ...

Do Not Resuscitate (DNR)

What unsettles me most about some people is not the harm they cause— but the silence that follows it. No conviction. No trembling. No evidence that a soul was ever stirred. As if something sacred once lived there… and quietly left. What remains is form without fire. A body that breathes, but does not feel . A Walking corpse. Spiritually vacant, yet socially skilled— fluent in imitation, but foreign to truth. They move through people like weather— touching everything, anchoring nowhere. I once mistook that emptiness for mystery. Confused detachment with depth. Thought restraint was discipline, when it was really disconnection. But there was no rootedness in him— only appetite. An endless hunger dressed as desire. A man grazing on bodies, scrolling through souls like they were disposable moments. Not searching. Not building. Just consuming— to quiet something unnamed within him. Unhealed wounds don’t stay still. They wander. From bed to bed, from face to face, from high ...
