God's Hands On YOU!

You may have heard the song from Gospel Artist Marvin Sapp, "He Has His Hands On You." This song speaks so much to me, not because of the song itself, but it is a manifestation of something my great father, the late great, Bobby Lee Belton, Sr used to say to me. Growing up I would feel left out by the people around me. I felt as though no one cared about me and struggled with a great deal of low self-esteem. The one thing that kept me grounded would be the conversations I would have with my family. My father would speak so much more sometimes than the others in my family. After we would speak for hours and hours, Daddy would conclude by looking at me, pointing in my face and say, "God's got his hands on you boy." There was no greater feeling than hearing those words from my father and watching God manifest himself in my life. As I grew older, I became more confident in myself, knowing that God had greater for me and there was a call on my life. When I went off to college, I began to meet some of the greatest people of my life. To see and hear so many people refer to me as a "cool person" made me feel so much better about myself because I still dealt with that low self esteem issue. Well, the more and more I became confident in myself, people would find themselves comfortable around me. I watched God elevate me from one level to another. I bet you are saying, "What does this have to do with me?" Well, it has a lot to do with you. I use my story to get the message across to you and I want you to know that no matter what your struggle is, God's got his hands on you! Be confident in knowing that He has a hedge of protection around you and you may be struggling today, but your struggle today will give you victory tomorrow. As I went through my college years, I found God putting me in the right place for my good. I would come to know some of the greatest friends of my life. God will put the right people in your life for the right seasons of your life. So embrace your journey because God has HIS hands on YOU!!!
