It's NOT about YOU!

The man who lives for himself... lives for the meanest mortal known! If we want an increase of Christ, there must be a decrease of self! The Lord, ♥ 's each & everyone one of us & He desires a personal relationship w/ everyone! He MADE YOU! There comes a point in your life where you have to stop blaming God, family, friends, or bad circumstances for things that happened to you in your past. Suck it up.

Lay those problems at the Lord's feet & move on! He NEVER stopped loving you or caring about you. Even in your darkest hour. He gives man free will. Men who are influenced by evil do evil things. Men who are influenced by Spirit do spiritual things. It's easy to throw a pity party and use it as an excuse to never let yourself grow and move past a damaged soul. It's easier than fighting through that hurt and pain. For ex.- If your boyfriend beats you. STOP blaming God. Report it to the police. PRAY for him. & move on! That just goes to show you need to love yourself and NOT let someone hurt you. When you hurt God hurts with you.

Forgiving those who have hurt you helps you to stop crippling yourself by your past. Time & time again I watch people reach to the Lord when something terrible happens. Yet, when their life is going good (& they are blessed) they don't think they need Him anymore. People become their own self-made god at this point. The Lord, is not sitting on a thrown in heaven waiting on you to ring a bell so He can be at your every beck & call....

He's not your puppet. If your thinking is like this- try reading....James 4:7,8 ♥

‎*I speak about this from experience. I had to suck it up. Let it go. & move forward. The devil kept hitting replay on my past & every time he did it would hurt more than it did the time before. Pretty soon I felt worse 4 years down the road, than I did when I first hit turmoil. My point is God IS FREEDOM. Without HIM you will NEVER be free! & the devil will continue to emotionally rape you. The devil will continue to place harmful, hurtful people & substances in your life. & you will continue to chase that if you do not learn to love yourself and follow the maker.. Point blank. Give it up to God. This does not mean that you will not face hardships ever again. It means you will be able to trample over serpants & catch daggers that the enemy throws at you. Motivation begins with a dream. Start thinking Kingdom Advancement. In the end- we are all going to die and we will all face Judgement Day. Do something selfless in your life. Make it all about GOD!*
