A thought.

It all started with a thought, someone told you you were not good enough, you were not pretty enough, you wouldn't make it, and thoughts came rushing into your mind telling you, " they are right your not capable, you don't have the perfect image, its better not to try" and you accepted these thoughts. Because you accepted the thoughts in you it reflected on the way you acted in your exterior you were now insecure and you held yourself back. It is surprising to me how much thoughts can influence the result of your life, there are negative thoughts like the ones I listed above and many more , but there is also positive thoughts which are the voice of God this voice will always give you words that will lift you up. 


Look at this situation, many shy people are shy because they say, " what if?, what are they gonna think of me? , I'm not able, Im gonna make a fool of myself " because they listen to the negative thoughts they act that certain way but those who are not do not waste their time listening to the negative thoughts they don't accept them they say , " no, I'm gonna go , I'm gonna do this , I can do this, I don't care what they are going to think of me... etc. " your life is the result of which voice you have been listening to which thought you have been accepting.  Sometimes it is hard to listen to the voice of God because all of the negative thoughts that have came to you have been flooding your mind as if your spiritual ears have been stuffed with so many negativity you have been allowing in, that those thoughts have been louder. But you can change that today! empty your mind of everything that has been putting you down act against these negative thoughts; a word that was said to you or a rude comment, or maybe something you saw that lead to a bad thought and start accepting the positive thoughts that will lead you to have a positive behavior. You will have to step out of your comfort zone , and do things you were not used to and thats great! You will see you will start to develop characteristics and a talent you never even knew you had! 


Which thoughts have you given power to?  

Who?

We do many things throughout our day such as clean, baby sit, cook, work, in the end all of the chores needed. But who do we do it for? do we do it for ourselves? for your boss? your parents? friends? Sometimes what we do is not good enough for them we do so much and sometimes while we do it were thinking, " yup, this is it they are going to be so proud of me!" and we even think they are going to give us a prize or a gift for what we do.

Many times it seems like our hard work is not valued why? because we have been doing it for people, we expect many things out of them, and expect something in return. And then there comes those days when you know someone could be helping you but they are not, I can give an example I remember a day when my sister and I had to fold a huge pile of clothes so there I was facing a mountain you can say lol, and i started folding them and I did not want to, I was already doing it with a bad humor and I kept asking , " are you going to help me? come on , "

Until I realized that everything I did was needed to do for God then I did not even care if someone was helping me or not and they ended up helping anyways. Maybe you ask "I can cook for God? clean? Baby sit? " yes, yes you can :) If we do everything we do for God we will do it with all of our strength, mind, and heart just knowing its for Him will be enough. Next time you do something do it for Him and you will see that you will even do it with pleasure and you will also be giving a good testimony every where you go in what ever you do.

" So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God."
1 Corinthians 10:31

Including YOU!

                                                                                                                                                                       

There are many things that can hold us back from having a true relationship with God. One of these things includes your past. Your past can be a barrier if you do not let it go of it, you will become a slave to it, to the same mistakes same errors, and you will be trapped in a cycle, it will keep you from moving onto new things sometimes even forgiving. There are people who can't seem to forgive because of the pain the person caused them but holding grudges against others is not worth what God wants to provide and you will only be hurting yourself. Letting go of your old self your past is one of the first things we must do to have a relationship with God, the one who makes everything new;

"And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful." Revelation 21:5 "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!" 2 Corinthians 5:17

We see that it is possible you can become a new person with a new character, behavior a new life governed by Him, now it is up to you do not accept your past any longer; your old ways. God wants to make you all over again but you have to act first. Knowing that theres a way out do not stay stranded get up and fight, even if you end up fighting yourself, your desires your wants.Now If there is someone that does not want you to become new it is the devil, he will put negative thoughts, use people, try to unmotivated you. Resist these thoughts if you resist he will flee wake up that courageous person in you, & yes there is a courageous person in you, I know in you there is a desire to change. Now grab onto this promise and Him the scripture says it clearly " ... If anyone is in Christ...". In Christ, obeying his word, his voice, doing what He wants not what you want, sacrifice. So lift your head and roll up those sleeves!

GOD MAKES ALL THINGS NEW, INCLUDING YOU!

Stand up.

There is a point in your life when enough is enough, a point where you have to stand up and put the strength you have inside of you out of you. We all go through problems it is something we cannot avoid, but there are some who accept the problems, they are passive about it and live life saying, " thats life, what am i supposed to do?" and then there are others who do not accept the problems but they fight against them.Whether they are spiritual, or physical We all have the strength to overcome these problems its just that not everyone uses or realizes the strength that lies within them. You may sometimes think that you are not able but YOU ARE ;

Philippians 4:13

"For I can do everything through Christ, who gives me strength"

Keep in mind that we cannot do it alone, we need Christ, 

Gods help, for He is the provider,He is the one who will

 give you strength and the Only one who can give it to you. so do not accept the problem 

if you do its as if you are okay with the problems in your life and consequently 

these problems will grow even bigger ,

if you do not USE the strength God has given you.

The times.

The times you fell hard,the times 

you cried yourself to sleep at night

the times when nothing seemed alright.

& you wished for the day to end

you felt so ashamed...

The times when you felt like you didn't matter

& your insides screamed 

though it seemed as nobody heard, your eyes 

said it even louder. 

The times when you tried to hide it with a smile 

but you & I know your pain went on for miles 

The times your heart felt empty so you tried to fill 

it up with useless things , you felt disappointed 

and said this is pointless, I'm feeling hopeless 

The times you said thats it 

are the times when God said, "Don't you quit"
