For years the words “Safe Space” have been thrown around frivolously. I get it it is an excellent catchphrase that can be utilized to invite people to follow your cause, however, I want you to know that Morning Meditation for Men is just that, A SAFE PLACE Why, you ask? Because MM4M is a place for men from every walk of life to come and receive a relevant revelation of God’s word. One of the most exhilarating characteristics about Jesus is that he never excluded anyone, period full stop. So let me repeat this, Morning Meditation For Men is a safe place for brothers to come together and grow. There is no judgment here, we are all on a journey, heck, I am on a journey of discovery, the discovery of the magnanimous grace of our God! A grace that would send a son to a place of shame to hang and die for a people that did not desire or deserve the gift. God through Jesus has relentlessly pursued me daily with an undeserved love, and I run to him with my tears, my joys, my confusion, and love and he embraces me just as I am. Just like he embraces me, he will do the same for you. So with that, I say: GOOD MORNING, GOOD MORNING, GOOD MORNING WELCOME TO MORNING MEDITATION FOR MEN! LET’S GET INTO THIS WORD!
Life is LOUD! People are LOUD! One thing that I have learned in this LOUD life is that God speaks, He does not yell. Make sure you learn and know his voice through the maze of noise. —
As cruel and heinous as His death was he had to go through with it, He had to endure it, because without this final sacrifice of an unblemished lamb we would not be able to experience Grace in its fullest. Under his own power, he walked up the HILL, he hung there, and he gave up his life so that we could have life. My sprint cried every time I read this account, to think he would sacrifice it all for me. I cried tears of grief and joy at the same time. Our father send our brother into the world to save us from ourselves! All I can say is thank you elder brother for bringing me back to Poppa God!
Forgiveness forges a bond to yourself that says I will not allow external forces to dictate my internal peace. Forgivness Frees you from others and yourself Forgiveness give you focus, Life is much bigger than you. Let go of the hurt and the pain of your past and embrace God of today and who you are right now. Because life is fluid we are every changing if we remain honest. Unforgiveness is concrete to your destiny. —
In life we have choices. Luke’s narration of the Christ’s passion opens a scene when 3 different entities have chosen to REMAIN in their position no matter what. The Authority, The Crowd and The Lamb. As men we are called to REMAIN steadfast in our integrity, our self awareness, our passion our courage and so many other characteristics. Keep your eyes on Christ as you walk out your life in holiness and righteousness before The God of Grace! REMAIN
Sometimes we receive gifts that we are not to fond of. For an example a sweater that may not be “my color”. Although you do not throw the sweater away, it is thrown in a place until it is needed, in the winter. God will give us gifts that we may not penetrate our limited perception. We wonder why he would give us suffering? We have been chatting about Job for quite a while now, but we shift our focus to Jesus, notice how he suffered. Some would say that he suffered in silence, I surmised that he had his moments of questions about the process. However in the midst of it he, Jesus, realized that His suffering had a greater impetus than just him being released from a place. Jesus suffered so we would not have to bear the sting of suffering! Yes, my brothers we will, heck, we must suffer, but because of Jesus’ sacrifice it is nothing like it should be. Thanks be to God who gives us the VICTORY!
Remember this, your suffering is meant to make someone else greater, while pushing to paramount position in this life!
JOHN 18: 1-10 (NLT)
1. After saying these things, Jesus crossed the Kidron Valley with his disciples and entered a grove of olive trees. 2 Judas, the betrayer, knew this place, because Jesus had often gone there with his disciples. 3 The leading priests and Pharisees had given Judas a contingent of Roman soldiers and Temple guards to accompany him. Now with blazing torches, lanterns, and weapons, they arrived at the olive grove. 4 Jesus fully realized all that was going to happen to him, so he stepped forward to meet them. “Who are you looking for?” he asked. 5 “Jesus the Nazarene,” they replied. “I am he,” Jesus said. (Judas, who betrayed him, was standing with them.) 6 As Jesus said “I am he,” they all drew back and fell to the ground! 7 Once more he asked them, “Who are you looking for?” And again they replied, “Jesus the Nazarene.” 8 “I told you that I am he,” Jesus said. “And since I am the one you want, let these others go.” 9 He did this to fulfill his own statement: “I did not lose a single one of those you have given me.” 10 Then Simon Peter drew a sword and slashed off the right ear of Malchus, the high priest’s slave. 11 But Jesus said to Peter, “Put your sword back into its sheath. Shall I not drink from the cup of suffering the Father has given me?”
2 CORINTHIANS 4:16-18 (AMP)
16 Therefore we do not become discouraged [spiritless, disappointed, or afraid]. Though our outer self is [progressively] wasting away, yet our inner self is being [progressively] renewed day by day. 17 For our momentary, light distress [this passing trouble] is producing for us an eternal weight of glory [a fullness] beyond all measure [surpassing all comparisons, a transcendent splendor and an endless blessedness]! 18 So we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are unseen; for the things which are visible are temporal [just brief and fleeting], but the things which are invisible are everlasting and imperishable. — Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/lovelaughlegacy/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/lovelaughlegacy/support

I just wish I could be left alone! I wish these kids would shut up, I wish my spouse would stop nagging, I really wish my boss would quit acting like a butt! I just want to be left alone, in my sorrow, in my mess, by myself ! LEAVE ME ALONE. I have been there before, but the issue with being left alone is that you are no good on your own. You need someone there to encourage you and push you in your darkest hour. We may say it, but trust me, we do not want it. — This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app — Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/lovelaughlegacy/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/lovelaughlegacy/support
Grab your Coffee & Grab Your Device and Let’s Get Into This Word!
Life is fleeting, it is a vapor. Use the time you have with purpose and on purpose. You only get one chance to get it done. The scriptures remind us that Man that is born of a woman is full of trouble and of a few days. Brothers remember life is short, make it count. — This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app — Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/lovelaughlegacy/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/lovelaughlegacy/support
Good morning, good morning, good morning It is time to rise and grind! Today we are going to talk about integrity. As men we need to operate in a place that we have a strong moral compass, we must operated from a place of being whole. God requires us to examine ourselves and see where we are found wanting. That is when we need to apply principal of Integrity and Righteousness to our lives. Listen, I know, we are going to miss it, but the point here is to try. If you miss it try again, and if you miss it again, try again. We must tenacious in our pursuit of righteousness and integrity. A man of integrity walks away from self-indulgence and walks toward a commitment to be Righteous. I am praying for you. Visit our website and connect with me and share your prayer request with me.
Today we encounter Job speaking and he is in a adverse psychological location. Again he request that God would just take him out! In essence he tells Eliphaz that his words are tasteless and meaningless, and to shut up! Being in a place of such hopelessness is devastating to the body and the soul.
Being in a place of hopelessness you will seemingly try anything to soothe your ache and scratch your itch. I have tried to eat it away, I have tried to drink it away with alcohol, I have tried to smoke it away with weed and I have tried to sex it away with women that I was not committed to, to name a few. After all of the eating, drinking, smoking and sexing there was still a void! The void remained because the pleasure of the flesh was not what I needed to bring wholeness and peace. What I needed was a WORD from GOD Jehovah. I needed to hear my Father whisper in my ear. “It’s going to be okay. My Grace is sufficient for you. When you are weak, son, that is when I can show my strength.” I needed my Father, My Daddy to pick me up and remind me that I am loved. I needed to be “Refreshed in His Words” — This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app — Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/lovelaughlegacy/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/lovelaughlegacy/support
