- People will hurt you once. You are the one that keeps letting them do it again and again. Hit delete on words/actions and distance yourself from those who are only going to put a knife in your back. You can love from a distance.
- The hardest thing to ever do is pray for those that hurt you. When you do though, you come out on top and the power the enemy has to control you with those thoughts weakens.
- Know the battle you are facing and who it is you are really fighting. The enemy is seeking whom he may devour and he uses things/people you would least expect to get to you. Recognize that and move on.
- If the devil is on your back, it means he is scared of what you can do. Take that as compliment and STAND. Stand and let God fight the battle.
- When it is all said and done, God is not going to ask me about paperwork. He is going to ask me about my time spent with people.
There is a shift in the air. Things are changing, there is more of the mountain behind me than in front of me. The chains of people pleasing are falling to the ground. At the end of the day, He is the only one that we have to please and make happy. The best thing about that is, He knows our hearts and can see what others cannot see. Too many times we walk around on egg shells. We keep to ourselves when God says to share a word. We could encourage someone, but what would that person think or say? We could be His hands and Feet, but what will happen when someone slaps our hands or stomps on our feet? Time to move past what others think and follow through what He says to do period.
Some moments along the journey aren't easy. Some are rest stops, some take your breath away, and some restore and refresh you so that you can keep walking this journey. God is bigger than it all and My God has got it all under control ;-)
Giving Him glory each step of the journey!
