Entitled Emotions

Entitled Emotions

Yes, we can react to every unfair act and wrong treatment against us in such a way that it produces nothing but more of what we've already gotten. Now the perpetrator has gone on with their life and we now are carrying the baggage of hurt, pain, resentment and lack of forgiveness. Poisoning our mind, spirit and eventually having it seep out to destroy our bodies. I personally have been there but I knew how I was with the presence of the holy spirit. I was bright not just on the outside but also on the inside. When a perpetrator came at me full on I allowed the assault of words and eventually hands to leave me with every dark emotion and I carried it for years. Until one day I was free from the environment and I was ready to be filled up with light again. So I did as my guidebook (Bible) and comforter had taught me to do. Lay out before the one that created me...to make me over again. The thing is, I had to do that days and days for a matter of months to a few years.
How many are willing to lay self down before the Lord and STAY there UNTIL?!
Until what you ask? Until you are no longer bound by resentment, hurt, pain, or lacking the ability to forgive etc.
Until you know for certain you have the fullness of his light AND his love with no darkness. Yes, in life we will continue to get hit but we can continue to go before him to get healed all over again.

Hebrews 12:1-17 & John 10:10 (written Jan. 9th inspired after reading my daily devotion)

I Can Do Bad By Myself

I Can Do Bad By Myself

Nehemiah was up on the wall, he and the others were working hard at building it. He'd already gotten permission from the KING to go ahead and move forward...SO HE DID.
Of course, don't you know there were some that was trying to distract them, laugh at them, get them to pause their work, lied on him, get him to come and "discuss" some things...thus weakening their stance but Nehemiah knew it was the work of an enemy that would try to stop them from working on the destined plan. When you know that you know that you know, what you are commissioned to do is of God and he, THE KING, has given you the go ahead to do the work as he is has prepped everything behind the scenes? Keep building...you battle enough on your own, let alone to allow some outsiders to come in and disturb the flow of your work.
Say "LORD I NEED YOU TO STRENGTHEN ME RIGHT NOW" and keep moving!

This was written after reading the scripture:
Nehemiah 6:9 Complete Jewish Bible version

They were all just trying to scare us, thinking, "This will sap their stregth and keep them from working." But now, [God,] increase my strength!
