See all Hallelujahs By Tiffany Jackson
Try keeping your balance on a broom, without falling off. If you failed, get back on it and try again but this time focus on the path in front of you. Maintain your focus and you will not fall. This exercise can relate to life and how hard it is to stay balanced. But when we understand our goal, which, is to make our place in Heaven then the path we trot, will have purpose and we will remain balanced.
What is staying balanced? As children we learned early on that a balanced diet is needed to stay healthy. A balanced meal consist of the five basic food groups: Dairy/Cheese, Meat/Poultry, Vegetables, Fruit and Bread/Grains. Without a balanced diet we can get sick, gain un-wanted weight and even die early. But if we follow it then we can live long and happy lives.
Spiritually speaking we must focus and follow the Word of God. With God directing our lives, we can conquer anything. Stay balanced by studying your Bible, praying, remaining faithful to God, worshipping, and reaching out to help others. Be thankful and make daily, monthly and yearly goals so that you find spiritual balance.
Spiritual balance can be achieved by listening to your own hearts. God gives us instincts so that we can decipher between what is good and what is bad. When we listen within, God speaks to our heart to direct us towards the right road.
Man can also keep us unbalanced. It is important that we do not follow the ways of man but of God. Man can lead us into the road of destruction. Focus and keep your eyes and mind stayed on the Lord and He will keep you on that balancing beam.
May God Bless And Keep You,

Ms. Tiffany Jackson,
I would like to say it is a very hard struggle to live and do what GOD wants because you do lose friends and even family members. Everyone says they are proud of you and how you’ve made the change to be what GOD wants you to be but when you try to tell people how good GOD has been in your life since you accepted the Lamb they say things like, "Yeah Yeah" or "Girl don't get too save with me" . I have experienced the lost of family, constant stares from people in the church (that claim to be saved & filled) and even the destruction of a marriage. However, I still keep a smile on my face & will continue my walk with GOD because I know (he told) he got a blessing in store for me........
