The Best: God’s Best

Shaun Bradford

Good Morning☀️

Even though it may be tempting, now is not the time to settle for anything less than God’s best.

Can’t you hear Donald Lawrence and the Tri-City Singers singing “The Best Is Yet To Come”? Well, I surely can. Smile. The song says—

God’s gonna really blow your mind
He’s gonna make it worth your time
For all of the trouble you’ve been through
The blessings doubled just for you

Guess what?
The best
Is yet to come …

You ain’t seen nothin’
You ain’t seen nothin’ yet

Listen, you ain’t seen nothing yet! Hang in there. The best—God’s best for YOU—is worth the wait.♥️

I love you,

Shaun

**On another note, this was too cute not to share. It’s an excerpt from my journal entry written on May 2, 2015—

“I took one of those FB quizzes about “what is your gift?” I got music. It said that you can channel a song for any occasion. Lord knows that’s true! Every morning and all through the day, a song is playing in my head. I actually mean- ALL day long!”

Well… it’s true. My life.☺️

Note To Self

Shaun Bradford
From 2020–2021, I volunteered as a registered dietitian for the nonprofit Peace & Pearls Single Parent Support Network, Inc. I also created motivational messages/graphics for their social media platforms. As you can see, I shared this particular message on March 31, 2021. The messages were not only for the parents but they were also for me.🥰

Setbacks will happen. They are a part of life. But so are comebacks!

You got this!!♥️

Love you,

Hang In There

Shaun Bradford

Here’s a little encouragement for today. Know that you WILL receive beauty for your ashes. Your tears and pain were not in vain. Love you!♥️ ~Shaun

When I shared this last year as a story, I added the song “Cry On” by Commissioned. Remember, “Weeping may endure for the night, but joy comes in the morning time.”♥️

It’s Only Temporary

Shaun Bradford
It’s only temporary. This too shall pass.

If you are experiencing difficulties and challenges right now, remember they are only temporary. Where you are today is not where you are meant to stay. Keep your head up. Things will get better.

The song I’m currently hearing is “Optimistic” by Sounds Of Blackness (Lyrics: LyricFind). The song says—

When in the midst of sorrow
You can’ t see up when looking down
A brighter day tomorrow will bring, oh

You hear the voice of reason
Telling you this can’t never be done
No matter how hard reality seems
Just hold on to your dreams, yeah

Don’t give up and don’t give in
Although it seems you never win
You will always pass the test
As long as you keep your head to the sky
You can win as long as you keep your head to the sky
You can win as long as you keep your head to the sky
Face toward the sky
Be optimistic

Listen, you will always win because God’s got you!♥️

Love you,

Shaun

You Will Receive Beauty For Your Ashes

Shaun Bradford
Hang in there! God’s got you.

To console those who mourn in Zion, To give them beauty for ashes, The oil of joy for mourning, The garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; That they may be called trees of righteousness, The planting of the Lord, that He may be glorified.

Isaiah 61:3 NKJV

This scripture reminds me of Commissioned’s song, “Cry On.” The song says—

When your burdens seem to weigh you down. Or the road—it seems too far to carry on. Just look to the hills, you will find your help whence cometh from the Lord, hold on. Even when you feel you can’t go on. (Even if you have to moan.) Let your soul cry out to the Lord.

Cry on. God understands your tears. He knows how much that you can bear. Your faintest cry He’ll hear. Cry on. When there’s nothing else to say. He’ll wipe all your tears away.
Lyrics: Genius.com

I have good news! Your tears won’t last. They’ll eventually dry up and be replaced with joy and laughter. You will receive beauty for all of your ashes.

Wishing you many blessings.♥️

Shaun
