You know that I know that not everyone needs everything of which I decide to address, right? Yet, there is this thing about us that I'm guessing a whole lot of us need....need today.
Why is it we resent any who seem bent upon insulting us or hurting our feelings; yet we do more of the same to ourselves...from ourselves?
Have you ever heard yourself talk about yourself in front of your back?
Your hair isn't right. Your weight isn't right. Your complexion isn't right. Your neighbor isn't right. Your pay isn't enough. Your clothes look outdated. Your influence seems to have hit a wall. Your time seems to slip away. You are tired of eating the same ol' meals. You wish that you didn't have that funny eyebrow or those big ears or....or something!
Stop it!
We would defriend any who talked to us the way we tend to talk to ourselves.
How about we make a pact with God that we like the way He has created us? What would you think about eliminating the self-talk that pulls us down....that in all reality pulls us down much more than those we deem as nuisance critics?
Let's do this. Let's eliminate one of our biggest critics; one of our strongest enemies which terrorizes our minds while we drive down streets or try to pass off into deep sleep. Let's tell the bully of self-destructive-talk to back off.
We have living to do. We will not go through life permitting ourselves to be our own worst enemies. No. We have a God to be glorified, people to encourage, and we are on a big mission.
Good for us!
