I am too good for that!

Too good to live like the Holy Spirit has no power and Christ death meant nothing for my eternity.

Too good to live like God doesn't collect my tears, hear every cry and know every hair on my head.

Too good to not live passionately NOW for Christ, like tomorrow was ever promised to me.

I AM TOO GOOD FOR THAT!

Too good to be falling into the same traps and running around the same mountains like God's wisdom and power aren't available to me.

Too good to be jealous and envious of how another woman looks and what another has, like God didn't craft me with His very own hands, carefully, intricately and beautifully.

Too good to be burdened with diseases I ate myself into, broke because I am paying for medications I could be off of it I just controlled my belly.

I AM TOO GOOD FOR THAT!

Too good to be lying to God in my prayers, acting like I just need a new house or car, like His very Word wasn't sent forth to produce righteousness in me.

Too good to be wrapped up in the world, like Jesus didn't die on calvary, snatch the keys to MY death from the enemy and ascend to heaven so that I can have life abundantly.

Too good to live like Christ isn't coming SWIFTLY, like His reward isn't with Him, to give me according as my works shall be.

I AM TOO GOOD FOR THAT!

Too good not to be consistent in my prayer life, like Jesus isn't at the right hand of God praying for me, like God doesn't love when His child comes to sit in His lap and tell Him everything.

Too good to be out here flossing for the gram, knowing my passion for Christ is waning because I'm boo'd up with man's opinions.

Too good to be poor, when God has given me purpose and ideas so that He can use them as vehicles to drive righteous change in this world.

I AM TOO GOOD FOR THAT!

Too good to go to church every weekend and come away unchanged like the Holy Spirit didn't show up JUST FOR ME, my spiritual issues and my heart sickness.

Too good to sit on my testimony like God didn't move heaven, earth and all that is in between just to rescue me from the ditches I've dug for myself.

!!!LISTEN!!!

I

AM

TOO

GOOD

FOR

THAT!

Too good not to love my neighbor as myself, as if our sins weren't nailed side by side on calvary's cross.

Too good to be offended all the time, when God's response to my constant abuse of His grace has been just that, more grace.

Too good to be unforgiving, when I can't even lift the stone that "he who is without sin" should be casting.

I AM TOO GOOD FOR THAT!

Too good to not hope in Christ, when He gave His life to prove Himself to me.

Too good to dwell in self-pity and hopelessness, because I have a hope, because my present sufferings are NOTHING compared to the glory that is coming... Like I won't reign with Him if I don't faint.

Too good to trust man over God, when even I can't even be faithful to my own fitness and diet plan, and God remains faithful.

Too good to be selfish with my prayers, time, resources and smile, like I wasn't called to bear my neighbors burdens, like doing it to the least isn't doing it unto Christ.
