Good Morning and Happy Thursday,
Simply just enjoy waking up before it's light out and starting my day!
His blessings have already poured out! A good word and quiet time.
Jesus Loves me unconditionally ~ I am Valuable ~ He has a purpose for my life ❤️
I'll continue to stand on His promises and continue to grow in His ways. If I'm building my identity on anything else (career, material things, my spouse, children, approval, etc) I'll always struggling with being insecure.
When I read that I thought WOW! It's so true because I used to live my life that way. Angry, jealous and always looking for more in the wrong places. Once I gave that up I started to live a life of peace - Peace in my heart ❤️ Sure people may upset me but I no longer carry that burden. I'm not defined by status in my career. I won't live my life for my children and give myself nothing.
It's easy to get caught up in what the world think, says and does but once you know who you are in Christ you'll have a easier time making decisions. We have to remember this is our walk - not theirs! Yes, people might get me angry, yes I want a bigger house, yes I want this or that but when my flesh takes over I know sooner or later that is not who I am. God is good at convicting me HA!
So yes I do watch my tongue (words) and actions but at the end of day those negative feelings are gone - Sometimes it can take awhile. Why carry that anger in my heart? It's only hurting me.
As the word says: The fear of human opinion disables, trusting in God protects you from that - Proverbs 29:25
And that's the beauty of being a child of God - He PROTECTS ME! I'm choosing to live a life for God. That's my quality of life. Joy, Peace, Forgiveness, Happiness, Prosperity, Grace and Humblness.
They do cost but are you willing to give up your ways?
So, challenge yourself today:
A harsh tongue reveals and angry heart VS An encouraging tongue reveals a happy heart
Which one are you going to choose today?
Prayer: Lord, I pray for whoever is reading this that it'll touch their heart one way or another. Maybe they are struggling with what the world thinks. Maybe they have anger in their heart. Maybe they just need to feel your comfort. I pray you wrap your loving arms around them and show them your gentleness. Only you know their heart's desires. We live in an ugly world but when we walk with you we see the beauty of life. Let them walk today in happiness and smile. Let them not be worried. Let them know who you are there for them. That they are protected! We thank you for this beautiful day. In Jesus name we pray, Amen.
