The Thoughts of GLP
I woke up this morning very overwhelmed and anxious! For what?? I don't know! I mean granted its pretty cold today and its raining outside. Lately a lot of unfortunate events have taken place in the world, and it's been weighing me down! I really felt lost and confused about life! So as I was getting ready for the day I started praying for souls and other things that have been weighing heavy on me!Then all of the sudden i started to pray over suicidal thoughts and those who may be battling this thing we call life! I want to encourage my sisters and brothers in Christ to stay encouraged!!! God loves you...I love you!
Don't let what you are going through, what you can't control get you to a place where you walk in doubt, fear or depression! This is coming from a person who has and does struggle with depression and has for YEARSS!!! It always shows its ugly head up at certain points in my life!“The Lord your God is with you, he is mighty to save. He will take great delight in you, he will quiet you with his love, he will rejoice over you with singing.” Zephaniah 3:17If you feel overwhelmed, lost, useless and just not valued! I am here to tell you, you are valued, loved, cherished! You may have made some mistakes in the past or even present! Do not keep revisiting those memories. It's time to move on, start a fresh and a new. No one is perfect even though we try to act as if we are. I believe what your going through is for your purpose!
Whatever that purpose may be. I feel like challenges that we face in life are not just challenges we go through to say that we went through it. It serves a purpose. Even going back to what I just said " we go through" that just tells you that this in not your final stop. You are passing through to get to where you need to go! Be transparent with is our Heavenly Father! When your not sure about something PRAY!!! cry out to God and I mean CRY out to God. There is nothing like a good cry! Cast ALLLL your cares at the feet of Jesus! He wants to hear from you! God waits for you to communicate with Him. You have instant, direct access to God. He sees your hurt, sees your tears and knows all!“There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love. We love because He first loved us.” 1 John 4:18-19His love is so pure and it's unconditional! You may think he isn't there but he is! Talk to him he wants to hear from you do not hold anything in!
You have this and will get through this! Push...Push... Push! The enemy will not win!Remember: Self-Love is not selfishness!* YOU ARE LOVED*YOU ARE NOT A FAILURE*YOU ARE NOT WORTHLESS*YOU ARE NOT WHAT OR WHO THE WORLD SAYS YOU ARE!*YOU ARE WORTHY OF LOVE AND JOY*YOUR LIFE IS A GIFT. YOU WILL USE THIS GIFT WITH CONFIDENCE & JOY!*YOU WILL SURROUND YOURSELF WITH POSITIVE PEOPLE WHO WILL HELP BRING THE BEST OUT IN YOU!* YOU WILL RELEASE YOUR NEGATIVE THOUGHTS, EMBRACING POSITIVITY AND OPTIMISM.*YOU DO NOT NEED SOMEONE ELSE TO FEEL HAPPINESS.YOU'VE GOT THIS! Stay encouraged, talk to God and/or someone who you trust, or even both!!!! DO NOT KEEP THINGS BOTTLES IN! and most important GOD LOVES YOU, CARES FOR YOU AND HAS A PURPOSE FOR YOUR LIFE!!! xoxo..Z.M.
