A Good Word
Here’s a word for someone today. Don’t you give up! Don’t you quit. You just keep walking, one step at the time. You keep trying. There is help and happiness ahead. It will be alright. Trust God and don’t lean on your own understanding. You don’t see what God sees!!
Living Loved
You are living loved in the goodness of God! No matter where you are in life…don’t give up on yourself. God hasn’t. He has loved you through every fault, every failure and every wrong turn. He knew you would slip even before it happened. But His love was big enough to hold onto you forever. Oh how He loves us. So let’s stop putting ourselves down thinking God is angry with us!
They Believe in You!
Surround yourself with people who see greatness in YOU. They’re the ones who are always encouraging you and getting excited when you do something good. They never seem to see your flaws or weaknesses and they sure never point them out. Praise God for family and friends who see your greatness even before you walk in it! They believe in you!
Ears and Mouths
Every word in the Bible has purpose. God doesn’t do anything by accident, even if we don’t “get it at the time”. God gave us mouths that close and ears that don’t. Wonder if it would change our lives if we “got” what He’s trying to tell us and rarely talk and always listen? We might be surprised at what all we would learn!
Just Rest
Rest. Just rest. Don’t tell me you have too much to do. Don’t tell me your family can’t make it alone even for one day. Set some boundaries in your life…for you. No guilt, no worry…just rest. You need to be revived. Jesus promises rest to those that seek it. Rest physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. When you’ve rested, then you can jump forward and be what you were created to be…but plan a YOU day…and whatever relaxes you, go for it. You’ll be glad you did and so will those you minister to.
Say Yes!
Learn to say yes to yourself. Yes you can. Yes you’re worthy. Yes, you’re enough. Give yourself permission to love the person you are…with all your quirks and flaws. You have value that was placed on you by your Father. So say yes! ‘Yes, I love the person God made me to be!”
