Before going to bed tonight / this morning I decided to watch Madea Goes to Jail the stage play by Tyler Perry for the first time.

Tyler Perry’s Madea character has a monologue in one of the scenes that I found to be very profound. In this scene he compares people to leaves, branches and roots of a tree… to see it for yourself click the link below, if you would like to purchase the play you may by clicking on the Amazon.com link.

Madea Goes to Jail | Stage Play – Madea giving relationship advice.

I sit here and I ponder our relationship
You used to call on me so we could just talk awhile.
Spend days on end, just you and me.
I had your back even when others didn’t
I pleaded your case against our father,
when you sinned.
I forgave you when you lied.
I encouraged you when you couldn’t do it on your own.
I protected you when you were weak and clothed you with my love before you even knew my name or could even speak.
I sent provisions, but you didn’t give me thanks.
I was ok with it all, because the promise I made and the sacrifices I gave for you.
I remember times when you were bold enough to talk to others about our relationship.
Now when someone asks about you and me you deny that we are even related.
You have let fear of rejection and thoughts of unworthiness creep into your psyche.
I ask the question, do you really know me?
Am I not your friend, your brother… your teacher?
Did I not show you in my words, in my love for you, in my actions that I would never forsake you?
Trust me…. I have your back…even when you don’t think no else does.
I will never give up on you why? Because this we have, this thing… is real… and I am real.
I am love, I am your Father God, your brother Jesus and your teacher the Holy Spirit and in me you can trust.
I AM whatever you need me to be…
Trust me it is not in my DNA to not tell the truth.
I swore to tell you the truth through the shedding of my own blood… not once, but twice.
I am just waiting for you to talk to me again…I have all the time in the world.

Personal Attitude Adjustment Plan Point of the Day: “#2 I will do what is needed even when it is inconvenient to me.” its amazing when you say that you are going back to the basics… that the basics don’t seem so basic when you have all the other junk that surrounds it to contend with too. Like, selfishness, denial, fear, procrastination, pride and doubt. Praise God they are no longer blocking my progression…

“I no longer just represent myself; I represent the ministry, my Pastors and ultimately Jesus and the Most High God.” Many times you are given opportunities to step out of your comfort zone. I know that I have been prepared for such a time as this however…I no longer just represent me and so I must act accordingly.
