Living on the Edge

This is a book of poetic verses to encourage you and uplift your spirits. During the most revolutionary time in our lives, all we can do is trust God. We must hold onto a positive vision. What has God instilled in you? What is your purpose in life to the world and in the ministry? The enemy does not foster our future or our eternity. It's our own fears that blind us to the truth and fear that holds us in bondage. Fear keeps us in a place of what we do not want instead of what we can have. We, as people of God, should have a harmonious, healthful way of living. With God's faith we never stand alone. When the doctor's told me in 2005 that I would lose my vision within a year, I had begun to praise God for my healing. Yes, there were days where I felt like giving up. The Enemy spoke to my mind. Then there was one thing after another diabetics, thyroids, high cholesterol, memory lose, irritable bowel syndrome, cyst on my left breast, Fibromyalgia and the latest possible diagnosis that I am being tested for lupus. While taking over 11 pills a day... I read scriptures of healing and examined myself. God let me know that I went though all of that to be a testimony to someone else. It's not all about me but about God using me to do His will. When I said, "No." God said, "YES." There are many ways that the Holy Spirit speaks to us to tell us to make a change. How many of us take heed? Look in the mirror today and examine-YOURSELF! At times our face nearly hits the ground before we will listen to His call. Faith gives me the inner security to strive to leave a legacy of hope. When I leave this world, I want to make a difference in someone else's life. We must keep our vision and expectations high! We focus on whatever we believe in. When we direct our minds we direct our lives. I want to leave you with this scripture. Hebrews 10:35-38 35) So do not throw away your confidence; it will be richly rewarded. 36) You need to persevere so that when you have done the will of God, you will receive what he has promised. 37) For in just a very little while, "He who is coming will come and will not delay. 38) But my righteous one will live by faith. And if he shrinks back, I will not be pleased with him." 39) But we are not of those who shrink back and are destroyed, but of those who believe and are saved. Jeremiah 29:11-11) For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end. Proverbs 23:18-18) There is surely a future hope for you, and your hope will not be cut off. Proverbs 24:14-14) Know also that wisdom is sweet to your soul; if you find it, there is a future hope for you, and your hope will not be cut off. Blessings, Alisha Broughton, Author
