Philippians 4:13

Paid the cost to be the boss when Jesus died on the cross / back in the day we used to floss but now swagg the new sauce / we fought for our freedoms and lost a lot of teachers / now we up in the bleachers cheering on the young people / you can do it go thru it and make it yours / can you have anything you want in life? Why of course / Thank you Lord for teaching us to chop with your sword BMX n ATV n and hopping on skateboards / lessons learned and blessing earned while sin burns / everybody get a turn while the turntables turn / unite and fight for the rights you dream about / be a team around the world and defeat the ones who doubt / there's always a few and sometimes one is you / God gave strength to do what we believe we can do / when the sky gets cloudy he will see you thru / he'll turn the dark sky blue and make the Son shine thru / be true to you and live your life / love each other be a husband or wife / if you believe you will achieve then you are right / Fresh break dancers knew what the dougie would be like / used to think of something sweet to say to you / on the internet I don't have to be in front of you / afraid to touch anonymous crutch we on the web so much we forgot how to keep in touch / with love from above and around the globe / we had our turn now its time to grow / and let go and let God / sometimes its hard but its all about the journey / its your choice do you want to pray or worry / Know His Story and know your history too / make smarter decisions from what you been thru / be true to you not her, him, or me / and remember the devil is a liar if you resist then he will flee /  God bless. Amen;-)

I love you. Or do I? Jimal L. Stokes
 

Positivity.

Thank you Jesus for believing in a sinner / I'm maxing like a winner eating lobster steak dinners / As I enter into a new state of mind / I used to be blind but now I find / a new way to grind a true way to shine / breakthrough coming through to me in due time / on my mind nothing but positive thoughts / not the times I lost Jesus you made me a boss / as I toss negative to wayside / I'm maxing on the west side doing it the bay side / I tried and tried and will succeed Jesus Christ in me the blood I bleed / and the air I breath I feel so alive / as I strive and strive new jersey drive / I will arrive at the designated time / to the top of the mountain where my God resides / applied pressure and kept on pressing past times that was depressing and had me stressing / no question I need Gods blessing / in the Name of Jesus Christ I live my life to impress him / positive thinking I wrote it with my ink pen / moving fast on the track you'll miss it if you're blinking / never sinking but sailing and skating on the railing / like Tony Hawk young Jimal is nothing to play with / I stay with the energy and power of my King / Jesus in my heart and he is why I sing / thank you father for my beautiful sons / I'm jamming on the one until the day is done / all for fun and hopes to prosper / jabbing like a boxer and rebuking the monsters / Love me Father

I pray out loud at night while I hope the Lord rescue me / from Mackin wit revelry mo vicious than Dogs can ever be / Protected from weaponry Formed against a child God / going hard for the squad that just the nature of a Boss / Father I'm lost I can not see past myself / not much time left told the lady I need her help / and swept of her off feet 747 fly / baby is the sky with me blowing smoke / as we hope for a brighter tomorrow no pain and sorrow / or throwing up from the bottle She a model / not on profile but to be followed by every women who wanna her pocket book un hollow / so full I got to pull her like Mack trucks across country when she want me / All I got is Faith and you can't take her from me / 100 miles and running like NWA / so I Mack like the end is coming I see no other way / standing in the winners circle intelligent like Erkle / smoking on something Purple blowing smoke at suckas because i dont wanna hurt you / that's how the earth do a young soldier that's tru / don't bother red and blue lights and they won't bother you / Staying out the way from every dart the devil aim / Am I to blame cause I want the money Muthaphuq the fame / I got raise to raise kids mines hers and his / don't want them forever just helping to you finish your bid in prison or overseas / that's the way the coldest be I'm helping you help me praying through every breath I breathe / No handcuff chuck I got to set her free like my woman Goldie 247 everyday all day I be / about my Fathers business don't care what you think of me /

Self Love

     What is it to Love self? My mother told me the other day that I needed to learn how to love myself. This was after I told her I was a minister and that I Love Jesus. "Son you need to learn how to love yourself". I thought about what she said then immediately started going over the scriptures I know that talked about the Love of God. The first scripture that came to mind was

1 John 4:8 ⁸ Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.

God is Love. So that means God is

1 Corinthians 13:4-13 ⁴ Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. ⁵ It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. ⁶ Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. ⁷ It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
⁸ Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. ⁹ For we know in part and we prophesy in part, ¹⁰ but when completeness comes, what is in part disappears. ¹¹ When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put the ways of childhood behind me. ¹² For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.
¹³ And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.

It is clear to me that Love is the greatest thing on earth because nothing is as infinite nor lasts longer than the eternal God.

But how do I Love myself?

John 3:16 ¹⁶ For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. 

 John 15:13 ¹³ Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.

Matthew 22:36-40 ³⁶ “Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?” ³⁷ Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’^{[a] 38} This is the first and greatest commandment. ³⁹ And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’^{[b] 40} All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.”

 

Hallelujah!

 

Love is a sacrifice given from self. To give your life for anothers well being is a sacrifice. Love your nieghbor like you Love yourself. How do I love myself? Well I must be patient and kind to myself. I can't be so hard on myself for mistakes or short comings. I must give myself the benefit of the doubt. I must move forward past things that really don't matter because I can not control them.

 

It is a daily sacrifice to think of myself in kind ways and to take care of myself. To be concerned with my own well being.

 

To Love God with everything that is me, my heart soul and mind. To honestly care about what my creator thinks about how I live my life and how I treat others along the way.

 

Love yourself. Take time to care about your own well being. Mental and Physical health are most important and no one is going to take care of you like you should, but some of us don't know how as my mother so kindly pointed out to me the other day. This is a blog and I hope it touches just one.

 

I love you. Or do I? Jimal L. Stokes

Still Raw tapping suckas Jaw / living for the day aint worried about tomorrow /

If I could turn back the hands of time / I would relive the moment I started this rhyme / and think every thought that brought me this far / ac rite sit right rapping bought me this car / not worried bout tomorrow or any day that follows / God 1st and foremost my Father forever Hollowed / Ice Cold and Solid Creased up and Polished / Grown up and Honored Learned up Like. college / Prayed Up with knowledge and wisdom of a scholar / I do more than wear them shout to my father Johnny Dollar /
