Repeat after me: Worry sit down. Anxiety flee. Rejection we're done. Fear be gone. Mind and mouth line up with the Word of God. I'm walking in FREEDOM!

Your heart is like fertile soil that will produce whatever is planted in it. Like a garden, if you plant the right seeds, you will reap a desirable harvest. Likewise, you have to make sure you do not allow any "weeds" into your heart garden. What are you allowing into your heart on a daily basis? Are you looking at, listening to, and talking about worldly things that pollute your spirit and produce bad fruit? Or are you keeping your eyes, ears, and mouth in line with God's Word, producing the fruit of the Spirit? Everything you do flows from your heart, so keep it protected from ungodly influences. Guard your heart!
When you compare, you belittle. Belittle what? You belittle what God has done for YOU and in YOU!
When we are in a relationship with Christ, we look at ourselves through His eyes and see ourselves differently. We don't feel the need to compete with or compare ourselves to others. We have confidence in the wonderful gifts, talents, and abilities God has given to us and celebrate those we see in others. In essence, we are happy with who God made us to be. In Him we not only live, move, and have our being, but we also have CONFIDENCE!! "How awesome is this love that conquered the grave. Love that can move the mountains, yet knows me by name! It's unbreakable. It's undeniable. Nothing will ever separate us! Your love is higher than the skies up above! Your love is wider than what I can dream of. Your love is deeper, it's the GREATEST of all!" True beauty is more than your reflection in the mirror. It's about how your life reflects the One who made you in His image! True beauty emanates from a woman who boldly and unabashedly knows who she is in Christ. She clings to God's promises and believes them to be the most important thing about her! Do you have true beauty? Let's make a decision today to not waste any time or energy being stressed out! Let's trust God 100 percent today!
"Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the LORD delivereth him out of them ALL" (Psalm 34:19). What would happen to your stress level if you meditated on the truth that God will ALWAYS deliver you out of trouble? How differently would you feel if you were to immediately say, "The Lord will deliver me from this?" It is when we focus on the problem that we begin to allow stress to overpower our lives. Instead, we must allow God's Word to consume our thinking. We've got to start declaring, "I know trouble is here, but things are going to work out in my favor. I always win, for God is my helper! I don't know how He will do it, but I trust Him!" These are the types of confessions that stress-proof our lives!
Your life is preaching a sermon. What is it saying? What other people think of YOU is none of YOUR business! |
