Are you a messed-up mess? As they say, “Been there…Done that…Got the T-shirt”. There is another saying, “Turn your mess into a message!” This is precisely what I decided to do. So many people need to understand that the suffering they are experiencing can be temporary. We are the ones that make a decision to stay in a mess. If you are like me, I desire to have a happy and healthy life that portrays the positive attributes of a strong faith in the “fixer of messes!”


Even if there has been collateral damage due to your mess, you can still “do what you can do” to make things right. In doing so, you begin to see a light at the end of the tunnel. You begin to grow stronger in your faith as you tackle what got you here in the first place. As you grow in your faith, you start to believe the things John said to Gaius, is also meant for you

When we look at today’s scripture, if we are not careful, we get hung up on how it is stated in the KJV. The word prosper is used and we think it is only referring to money. What it is really saying is that ALL go well for you. This includes money, because what is left out of “all”? Absolutely nothing!


So, with that in mind, what are some other things it could include? How about:

*Good health

*Happiness

*Friends

*Reconciliation

*Success

*Peace with others

*Peace of mind

*Contentment

*Self-love as God loves


The list goes on and on because it includes ALL. Don’t get caught up in the “prosper” word and miss what is really being said to you.


If you are in a mess, re-read what John said to Gaius. Take it to heart and know that a happy and healthy life is meant to be yours. Maybe it’s time to turn that mess into a message to help others have it ALL too!


3 John 1:2 NLT

[2] Dear friend, I hope all is well with you and that you are as healthy in body as you are strong in spirit. #helpforyourdailywalk #paulaandthebible
