Mental Attitude Cont'd

Within ourselves, it is easy for us to reflect back on our mistakes, our failures, and what we feel , is our successes. Who is keeping track of all of this? No one ~~~~~ we are the only ones that are keeping track of our accomplishments and failures and judging ourselves harshly, because we look at what the world is doing and feel we are not succeeding at all!  Ugh! I know I have compared myself and what I have done or not done in life and when I realized why I wasn't happy or successful, I took a long look at me and decided it is time to truly evaluate what it is I am doing wrong. And when I did that I found out through God's word that NOTHING is wrong with me. There is more right than wrong!



Many of us women, and there are very few who do not, tend to compare ourselves. We look at this woman who is thin, or this woman who has long flowing hair, or this woman whose teeth is straight and white, or this woman whose is built nice - - - - - - - -- -Who said we had to be perfect to achieve anything good in life and to receive anything good in life? When we compare, first of all ladies, we set ourselves up for failure. God molded us into who we are today and in His eyes we are perfect and wonderfully made. I am not saying we should become haughtly or conceited; but I am saying we should love ourselves enough so that we can have healthy relationships with others. Constantly having a negative attitude will keep us down, unhappy, and at times, depressed. Who are we trying to please, man or God?

To be on this path of a good mental attitude about ourselves does not happen overnight, in fact, it does not happen at all without effort on your part, and to want to live a healthy God-filled life, we have to want to grow, change and become all He wants us to be! Take a good look at yourself tonight before you go to bed and truly look at yourself in the mirror and evaluate you! Do not look at what is wrong with you, but focus on what you do like about you and keep going from there! It's a mountain you are going to climb, but with God's help, you will not climb it alone!

Can I "Love" You This Much?

Negative words tear people down and exposes them.  "Every prudent man deals with knowledge, but a [self-confident] fool exposes and flaunts his folly." (Proverbs 13:16 AMPC)  (Folly biblical definition: 2a. : criminally or tragically foolish actions or conduct. b. obsolete : evil, wickedness especially : lewd behavior.) Confronting someone is different than badgering someone! Badgering means to repeatedly pester.  "By pride and insolence comes only contention, but with well-advised is skillful and Godly Wisdom." (Proverbs 13:10 AMPC)  When we lovingly and patiently correct others the response will be peaceful, loving and accepting also; however, words spoken in anger and with the intention to hurt, comes from a malicious and wicked heart. Hurtful words repeatedly play over in a person's mind (like a broken record) of how they don't measure up to the World's standards; therefore putting that person in the forefront of a sure target for Sat...

God is in "Control"!

The students who marched boldly, stepped out and reached out to gain the attention of our leaders. It is a sad situation and the act of violence that truly needs to cease! As I briefly listened, the stories were not just with our schools, but in our communities, our homes, and our jobs. We are in harms way every where we go. It's not the guns, or is it poverty, wealth or the situation our lives have turned to; it's deeper than that! It comes back to the fear, the anger, and the hate that is warring in our spirit and soul to ignite the violence and use weapons that destroy and kill.  Picture Courtesy of my nephew Dere While listening to the protestors, I heard anger, fear, and exhaustion in their voices also; because they too want change that moves all of us to a state of "Peace" and "Love"!  Not so long ago, we heard, "Black lives matter"; and now it's back to addressing the numerous and continuous shootings in the schools.  The struggl...

Abiding in the Vine!

I am the vine you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing (John 15:5 NIV).   I do not own the rights to this photo  In the natural you are not able to change anyone who has an addiction. The worst thing we can do is to constantly talk about it to others. Satan I do not own the rights to this photo  has a stronghold on their thinking. Give it to God and let Him, in His power, restore your loved ones; and do not talk about it again. Once you pray, you are saying, God I am giving you permission to take care of my loved one~ and you are putting your Trust in God to do what only He can do anyway!  So get on your knees and pray and do not speak of what your loved one is going through anymore, but speak of what God is doing in their lives and how He is changing them from Glory to Glory!   And Don’t forget to “Thank Him”! In the morning, as they went along, they saw the fig tree ...
