Sometimes this seems like an impossible thing to do. We want everyone around us to be in tune with how well we are doing or how nice we look or whatever.
Sometimes we just have to listen to that still, small voice inside of us and encourage ourself. Holy Spirit is that still, small voice and we have to let it speak louder and be the voice that we listen to and not the other voice that keeps telling us that you are nothing, you are worthless, no one really cares about you!!! Lies, lies, lies!!
Learn to chase those stinkin lies away!! Wow, I’m so outta my comfort zone right now, that I have to do that lots. Then it just becomes second nature.
Even if someone treats you badly. Really, if you didn’t do anything wrong to them, then the issue just might be them, and not you!! We don’t have to take other people’s shame and guilt on!!
It’s so freeing to realize these things. Sometimes people would like to project their own issues on you!! Well we really don’t have to deal with their stuff!!
1 Samuel 30:6 is about David encouraging himself in the Lord. Different versions say it different ways, but he had many things coming against him and had to learn how to encourage himself in the Lord.
I have to do some things this morning, get up in front of people, the enemy would like to tell me that I can’t do this, but I will say, ” Yes, I will encourage myself in the Lord, and I WILL do what God wants me to do!! ”
Yesterday I had to do it too, even while I’m writing this, I have to do it! We just have to listen to the voice of truth!!
Don’t give in to those lies❤
Listen to encouraging words❤
Sometimes people are too beat down themselves, to encourage us, so we have to encourage them, along with encouraging ourselves!!❤
The more we lift up others, the more we will be lifted up, even if we don’t see it for a while!!❤
Pay it forward!❤
Be blessed today and don’t give up!!❤
See you soon❤
