Give me a clean heart-Fred Hammond

A Matthews Love

I have been born into a new standerd of Love in my Family.
I'm going to show you what it means to have a Matthews Love.

A Matthews love is pure. A Matthews Man makes mistakes. We try to be true to our principles and line up with the heavenly father that we serve. When we look at a woman  we see the shear beauty of her heart. We are not distracted by looks or what the Media Portrays. I know that I have been trained to listen to not just the words of a woman. But the heart beat behind the woman.

When a Matthews man Loves he loves hard. So hard that he is not afraid to change some of his principles for the bigger picture. We see the bigger picture. We have the ability to look into the future and submit to what our father is telling us. Even when we are wrong eventually we find what is truly right and stand for that righteousness. We aren't attracted to lascivious, but we have identified the brokenness of a woman and have learn to become selfless. If I though that I was to much of a church boy to slip I would be self righteous. Which is spiritually selfish.

The reality is that I have to daily fight my flesh to be a better example to my brother Jeremiah Matthews. My calling is on a greater level then that of my fathers and the chain continues with My little brother. Every generation needs to be stronger and stronger. So the love of God needs to flow strong into the hearts of every Matthews man so that we become great leaders of our house holds.

" train up a child in the way that he should go" like Fletcher's says we are all arrows and our parents shoot us into our unlimited potential. I'm just waiting for one word.

GO.

Sterio typed

What I find intresting about being me is that my perspective is one that is very intresting. One could say that I am postively bias towards everything that I do. This pertains to how I act. I have made up in my mind that everything that I do will hopefully eventually be seen as an act of love. It has been pressed into my brain to be a nice person. To try my best not to lie. To greet and treet people with respect. To make peace where neccassary.

Sadly in this day an age you will hear an occassional put down. Your so ugly dog! You smell! Your moma loves me dog! Things that push each other to mental instablities that eventually become just the norm. My attemps to reach out and make a difference in my every day is to just have a randome act of kindess. This may be just speaking somthing positive into someone life. I try my best to just show people how easy it is to
completment and to love on each other.

I really am tired of sexuall immorality. I am sick and tired of seeing people do wronge. In my attempts to try and make a difference their will always be people that don't agree with me. So I'm am steriotyped. When people are around me they tell me "oh ya I went to church." They call me "church boy" which is quit intresting because that label isn't really a bad label to have.

To close I feel that kids today are to afraid to get the wronge label and be the minority. I have been so alone and independant throughout my life that it has become confortable to be socially rejeceted at times. I just want people to understand that I don't need a click or a group of people to define me. I let my postive actions and my love for others  define me.

I live for the King of love so I desire to my alienated by the negative part of society.

My inner Man

Behind this smile
Behind the innocence of a child
Lies a Man of great destiny
I'm my father's protegee
I follow what he imparted in me
I borrow the positive images that he shows me
Even some of his bad habits accidentally,
But now that I'm on my feet,
My mind took a faith leap,
I realise my life is priceless,
it ain't cheap,

I'm among the elite,

that go against the grain

And hunt for real meat

And not for fake stake,

because my Medium is rare

I get to Get to God through the Son,

The Son's death cause a solar flare,

The evil in side me is scared,

Because the Inner man wakes, 

With the power of a lion a tiger and a bear,

I don't love all because I'm weird,

I love all because I care.

fighting battles

Every day is a battle. A wise woman once said " the fact that I have battles reminds me that I am alive." This means that we will have trials and tribulations until we die. The question should not be how to avoid the battles. The perspective that you should have is going through this battle how do I respond? Should I overreact? should I stress out? Many people stress out because they do not know how to go through something.

Every trial and turbulence that comes your way is a test of character. The next time you are driving think before you speak. It takes more energy to become stressed and over think and analyse problems. Just rest and know that their will be a way out. One must meditate on the utter greatness of a God who cares and loves you. This understanding will ( this is based on my own experience) bring you through a rainy day.

The way I made it through the battles that I had to go through I just eventually had to let go and let God. What is interesting is that I am still letting go. Of my past and the simple task of letting go is a battle.

Thoughts of "maybe if I just" or " Man I should of" and " If only I" can tear apart the soul of any living being.

To conclude there are many people that are walking around this world but are not alive. There are people that get out of bed and focus on the negative in their life. One must fight in this pursuit for happiness in this world. What drives me and allows me to feel alive in the middle of my storm is the realisation that the battles that come my way are already being fought by a God that is all powerful and almighty.

Amen
