Forgiveness will set you free

Collosians 3:13 Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man has a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye (KJV)

bearing with one another and, if one has a complaint against another, forgiving each other; as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive.  (ESV)

But the text before is the key element

The 7 virtues of christianity

Colossians 3:12 Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, long-suffering; (KJV)

Put on then, as God's chosen ones, holy and beloved, compassionate hearts, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience (ESV)

*KJV = King James Version

*ESV= English Standard Version

Many times we try to handle our life situation by ourself. Without remembering that first we have to understand nobody is perfect, God is in control and we are only human. The devil comes to destroy. One of the reasons this has become more of a success is because in my opinion we are not allowing ourself to except Colossians 3:12. We are the chosen ones. :) smile because thats a blessing! We should live our lives as holy as we can. Step by step day by day we should water the already planted seed to become more and more christ like. If we learn to love others how we should in deed love ourselves forgiveness will come much more easily! 

The ability to have a compassionate heart takes true strength! 

Compassion is the virtue of empathy for the suffering of others. It is regarded as a fundamental part of human love, and a cornerstone of greater social interconnection and humanism —foundational to the highest principles in philosophy, society, and personhood.

These are my thoughts on the 7 virtues of christianity. 

If you see someone falling do you laugh or help them up? If you see a homeless person do you judge them or if you have money to spare help those in need? If you see a single mother and kids standing in the heat, do you stop and offer a ride? Or at least a few dollars so the kids can get a cool drink on the way? If you see someone crying do you stop to try and make them feel better or do you keep walking because it's not you? If you see someone get hurt do you just stand there or do you run over to try and help the person out? If you see a fight do you stand there and cheer it on or do you try and break it up and encourage others around you to do so. I always say if it were me i would want someone to help me. So next time instead of video taping and sending a fight to world star hip hop as entertainment, which gives you no peace nor the individuals involved, try breaking it up and watch how you feel! It's a much better feeling to know you just helped someone then to watch someone get hurt for entertainment. Next time instead of judging the homeless man you should offer him some food, spare money or even shelter if you know or have a vacant place. Instead of judging the woman on drugs how about you help her find a place to get off the poison. If you a family member you may offer an ultimatum. For instance you mom may want you to stop dealing drugs even though she's on them, the two of you can stop together. It won't be easy but at least you will have someone to go through with you. 

One small act of kindness can reach a million people. If you help a family in need and encourage them to help a family in need, you've already started a chain of people who will help the community and world come together. Lead by example. For instance if you have a good job, live comfortably and all you do is go blow money at the club, casino, strip joints or on drugs etc. try sharing the same amount of money you blow with someone in need! It will go much further. Instead helping the already rich and wealthy get richer and wealthier, you can help a mother by giving her that down payment for a car or ahead on her rent. You could help a father put his kids through school or start that business he's always dreamed of. Build a facility for kids in local areas so they can stop turning to the streets and others for negative entertainment. Stop looking at giving as if it's the wrong thing to do. Somewhere down the line someone gave something to you. So share what you can afford to share instead of blowing it in dangerous, evil, or unhealthy ways. You will find that making another person happy will provide you with true happiness. The kind of happiness your addictions will never give you! 

Humiliation is one of the best ways to understand and except that nobody is perfect. You have to first except your flaws and understand that in order to become a better person. The first step to fixing the problem is finding out what the problem is. So with that said don't be ashamed to let others know what your really going through. You may be able to help someone get through a rough spot in their life or you may be able to find help. You never know. God send us through different struggles to show himself awesome in our lives. I always talk about this with my friends. Although it may be hard to not complain, i learned in church this past Sunday that, complaining is sometimes the main reason we keep going through. Having faith is much more than knowing there is a God and confessing that Jesus is the way to heaven. It's having trust is God that you will end up much better than what you started once you get through. So don't be ashamed to humiliate yourself. One day it'll help someone else understand why they shouldn't give up!

Finally Meekness and patience. I had to tie these two together because in my mind they go together like white on rice. Being meek is having the patience to endure anything and stay down to earth. We all know that patience is having the ability to wait on something. So if you got into a car accident arguing with your spouse and you arm was broken, when you wake up are you meek or would you fuss more, curse and be bitter? The right thing would be to be thankful you still have an arm and learn from your mistakes. While driving don't argue. Be patient while your healing and pray for full strength in that arm when it is healed. Instead most of us would complain and blame our spouse as if we had nothing to do with it. What if you had a job but you wanted something better or a better position. Most of us would complain that we have to go to work or that we could do a better job or deserve better. You never know what God has in store for you! Just how you have that job right now it can be taken away. No matter what you always want to be thankful. Being patient and having faith that you will get that raise, position or better job is the key! 

Which brings me to forgiveness. When we do something wrong we want to be forgiven. I don't care if it's to a complete stranger most people don't like when other are holding a grudge against them because it provides a hostile environment. Everyone wants to feel safe. Even those who walk around screaming they "don't mind dying" are scared when face to face with death. So if you have loved ones you care about, if you care about your own life for real, or even if you care about another person's life, please learn how to forgive an forget. It's not our job to make someone pay for what they have done. Reason being is we don't know the proper punishment for anything! We get to angry to reason and take things way out of proportion. So to avoid living in a danger zone and not knowing when you might get gunned down, stabbed, beat up, or hurt someone else, follow the 7 virtues and forgive and forget. Its very easy once you learn to practice it! Trust me. It sets you free!

Thats all i have for today. ttys. Tomorrow we are finally laying my cousin to rest so i have to mentally prepare for that. Im going to God for my strength and my family's because he is the only true healer. 

So just think and put God 1st in all that you do. Always remember somewhere out there someone has it much worse than you. 

New Orleans Screaming stop the violence for a few days won't do a thing! Learn how to forgive and forget and Let go and Let GOD!

Here's a little history of New Orleans

http://www.stphilipneri.org/teacher/pontchartrain/section.php?id=175 Who was here first.

Much of the population in early days was of the wildest and, in part, of the most undesirable character: deported galley slaves (prisoners), trappers(A person engaged in the selling and/or distribution of Cocaine.), gold-hunters and city scourings(Thee lowest rank in society, often plural); and the governors' letters are full of complaints regarding the riffraff sent as soldiers as late as Kerlerec's administration 

These were the people who helped to build our city and populate it. So it's no wonder so many murders and crimes through out history have gone on. However today we still are the same people but more intense. Some may say no they don't have any evidence of the dark history/reality of our city in their bloodline but how can you not if history itself tells who built where you live! It's in us! The french wicked ways and spanish selfish ways along with black people who were confused and misguided and then the italians who were just as confused as the africans somewhere in your blood it's in you! Get over it!

Now the issue at hand. The murders happening today. When back then it wasn't so easy to "get away with murder", today it is! Im not blaming anyone in particular i am simply about to share my opinion. Feel free to comment. 

If you see someone murder somebody in broad daylight with no mask on what do you do? If your answer is nothing i feel sorry for your soul. You are apart of the problem! The fact that you would sit there and allow another individual to take the life of another as if he/she is God and do nothing about it makes you just as much as fault as the person who commits the crime. If that person saw you and comes back to kill you later you have no one to blame but yourself because you didn't say anything and could have saved the lives of others by putting a murderer behind bars. 

Are you a police officer? Some may say you are brave. Some may say you are a hero. Some may call you "them people". Some may say your a d**k. My question to you is are you fair when it comes to the streets are do you just follow the "proper protocol" which is everyone is guilty until proven innocent? Instead of the law everyone is innocent until proven guilty. If in your mind at this very moment you are the first one then you are apart of the problem too! There are many people who are incarcerated over traffic tickets while murderers, robbers, rappist, serial killers, dope boys and maniacs walk amongst us everyday. Your to busy fighting the true citizens who work for a living and picking on tourist and celebrities to have time to focus on the real crime. If you all take the stand for justice and help the people of New Orleans feel safe, people will come forward and report more crimes without being afraid that if they say something you will leak it to the streets and that person or someone in their family will be killed. Instead of waiting on the highway to see whose speeding, you should patrol the neighborhoods and find out whose who and stop the nonsense before innocent people get hurt. Like babies babies of our future, mothers of our young, youth with good hearts and sound minds. It's really not that hard to be brave. You took the oath as a cop so do your job and be one! Stop being weak and taking the easy way out just so you can meet a quota! Yes i said it.

Are you a person who grew up in the hood? Yeah well me too! So drop the excuse of "thats just how i am". Nobody  is just like that. It's a choice to be mean, hateful, a thief or murderer. Just like we all have the choice to forgive and forget! Let go and let God! You will finds that works much better than putting your friends and family business on the streets because your mad. Much better than hitting the person you once loved so dearly or worse killing them. Much better than cursing or fighting with random people who you know nothing about! You all give anger to much power over your lives. It's just a simple emotion that is easy to control! How do i know? Because i am one who has done it! I used to be like you had to let everyone know they better not even think about playing with me OR ELSE! That's not me anymore. I grew up. I'm a mother and i have a lot to live for. Even if i weren't a parent then i still have family that loves me and friends so why would i constantly on purpose put myself in danger? That's stupid and weak and you need to get some sense.

Are you taking drugs? Do your drugs consume your mind? Everybody goes through things in life. If you suffer with depression, anger, fear or anything bad, you should seek psychiatric help. It's not a bad thing! Stop letting people make it seem like it's the worst thing in the world to know what's wrong with you. We are all from New Orleans so chances are 9 out of 10 something is mentally wrong with you. Now wether you can learn to conquer it on your own or with help is for you to determine. Drugs are not the way. They are not even a temporary fix! In fact they make you illness get worse! Your putting poison in your blood and neurons to convince yourself that you don't feel the way you feel and in turn your only getting worse as time goes on. Think about it. If you've been in jail multiple times even just for traffic tickets how many people are in there in the holding cells are high? Then when they come down they wish for the life of them that whatever they did wouldn't have happened. Nobody in their right mind wants to be in a cage and told what to do and how to live. We are already being controlled by the government. So the little freedom we do have we would like to keep. Chances are your family members are begging you to stop for various reasons and you won't. If you love them you would listen because they are only saying stop because they love you deeply. 

Are you a gang banger or a person who supplies the dope boy with his money to get supplies? You think you hands are clean? Guess what God sits high and looks low. Just because the law may not know of you and what you do he does and it doesn't sit well. Just because your not out here putting the drugs in the hands of a kid or man who could be our next president doesn't make you any better then the one who does. Just because you aren't the actual trigger man who killed the man you put a "hit" on doesn't mean your not a murderer. Your just as bad as the guy you send to do your dirty work. So when you sit there in your nice house with your nice job, car, family remember somewhere your destroying somebody else's dreams, life, family and community. Don't be surprised if it back fires on you either. Statistics show that suppliers usually get the heat when it comes down to. So when your family is wondering why this happened to you people like me usually know why this happened all of a sudden, just out of the blue. Think before you chase fast money. Instead of supplying the streets give them job opportunities! Start a business, invest in someone school years, give a family a car who has no transportation. Do something positive and watch how many others follow! It's that simple! As for those who are out here in the streets what goes around comes around. So while you may feel like a king at this very moment it will only last for so long. If you have kids you owe it to them to live. The people who love you deserve better than to find you dead on arrival. Wake  up.

Screaming stop the violence for a day or even week and justice for this and that until it's just a memory won't stop a thing! The true change comes from within. Being able to let go and let God and forgive and forget is the way to change our communities period. Stop letting simple emotions control you! Be a strong individual and lead by example. Material things come and go. Love last forever even when your gone. Cherish the moments you have with your loved ones because you never know when it's their time to go. 

This is all I'm saying for the present time but i will touch on this subject again pretty soon!

Will it ever end? Will you stand with me? Change with me? Grow with me?
