I'm BAD...Are You?

Posted by Erin Brown on Friday, October 28, 2011 in 2011, blessings,

It’s funny how encouragement comes to you when you need it.  Sometimes it’s so hard to see the blessings through all of the chaos, but at the end of the day, you need to remember that you are a BAD person!  Yes, I said BAD…Blessed and Delivered.

This morning, my sister-in-law sent me an email that made me think.  Ironically, when I got the email, I had Michael Jackson’s I’m Bad playing in my office. Michael was on to something.  Everyone knows that he was talking about his enemy, but it’s funny that the email that I received helped me to understand the message in the song a little better.  

While shopping at a local mall, I spotted a man with an acronym on his shirt that had BAD.  Me, being the person that I am (curious), stopped the man and asked, "What does BAD stand for?" And trust me, you'll be amazed at what his response was.

He replied, “BAD stands for: "Blessed And Delivered." That thought stuck with me as I finished doing my shopping that day.  So, I came up with a little advice for you today.

(1) When the enemy tries to attack you, just remember that you are BAD !

(2) When things don't seem to be going right on your job, just remember that you are BAD !

(3) When things are not looking good in your marriage/relationships, just remember that you are BAD !

(4) When folks scandalize your name, just remember that you are B.A.D!.

(5) When health challenges seem to overtake your body, just remember that you are BAD !

(6) When the spirit of depression tries to overtake your mind, just remember that you are BAD !

(7) When you have more bills in a month than money, just remember that you are BAD !

(8) When your mode of transportation is not working right, just remember that you are BAD !

(9) When the spirit of grief tries to paralyze you, just remember that you are BAD !

(10)And when you wake up in the morning to a brand new day, just shout to the heavens Hallelujah! I AM BAD !!!!!!!!!

I wouldn’t have ever looked at BAD in that way.  The word carries such a negative connotation.  But I can say that I needed this today.  And now that it’s stuck in my head, I’ll be sure to remember how BAD I am.  

So in the words of Run D.M.C. – ‘Not BAD meaning bad, but BAD meaning good!’
