Some days I just want to throw in the towel & say, " I quit, there you go!" Ding Ding Ding, LIFE wins!! My attitude slowly starts regressing & I think, " Oh welll, at least I tried." Fact is, we are human & these things happen occasionally. This is when we have to take time to get outside of ourselves & bond with GOD. His Love is never ending!
" Do what God wants you to do. Find support groups, church, a place to fill your empty Love tank." -Paula White When I was in N/A meetings, the thing I remember most was hearing those around me say, " Thanks for sharing, Keep coming back..It works if you work it." They would say this after someone shared a story, struggles, or something good in their week. I didn't understand why they did this until after I committed to taking the steps & sharing myself. It feels good to let out the bad & have someone or people listen & say "Thanks for sharing." It makes space for Love to come in & fill what has been let out. We all had issues, some more severe than others but none the less we were all rowing in the same boat. I shared that because now that my life has taken a turn for the better, it's still a struggle with just life itself. We all want to feel loved or praised when we do good things. Recognized for our efforts for trying to change or being different. Our flesh yearns for approval of others but our heart needs to know that GOD is proud of us for trying & LOVES us regardless of our flaws.
Once you initiate change or positive impact, the negative doesn't go away but comes on stronger. People will mock you or question who you are trying to be because of who you were before. " Judge not, that you not be judged." Mark 7:1 Our flesh is vulnerable & when people do these things to us, it is easy to retaliate. However, we need not let ANYONE or ANYTHING hinder our relationship with GOD & the Love we are building for ourselves. This doesn't mean that we are any better nor should we put those down because of what they are doing but lift them up to GOD. In GOD'S eyes we are equal. He doesn't Love anyone of us more than the other.
" I am Free to be me , you are Free to be you, & we are Free to be us!" We must allow forgiveness to those who bring us down. Remember to think about," How am I doing?" Let's fill up our love tank today with first loving ourselves & then loving GOD. We can't love anyone else until we love ourselves! " from the whole body, joined & knit together by what every joint supplies, accordingly to the effective working by which every part does its share, causes growth of the body for the edifying of itself in love." Ephesians 4:16
Trust in GOD & have faith that He will never let your Love tanks empty light come on.....
GOD is good today, tomorrow, & foreverr......
