Hello church!
It is good to see you. It has been awhile but it is worth it. Sometimes you have to remove yourself to find yourself.
I have found some of that "self" in me. I have along way to go but it is something and I am always striving to elevate myself because life is about living to your full potential. I wanted to just type my thoughts like I usually do but this time with meaning and a message. I've learned a lot since being quarantined and just in general about the reality of this world. One thing I have learned is to not look at other people's life and think that it is perfect and compare your life to others. Some of us tend to do this so much. We truly do not know what issues someone may be going through, yet we think it's better on the other side, so human of us though right? Another thing I've realized and I have come to this beautiful perspective is that who cares what anyone thinks of me? Do you realize that living life worried about what others think of you places a hindrance on your life? It is basically blocking you from being free and being who you are (even in Christ) Why is it that we are so afraid of being judged by people who are literally no better than us? again, human thinking. I used to come on here and post and share my thoughts and opinions on the bible, even shared some lovely testimonies about Jesus- that I still do to this day because if God blesses you with something, it is not always for you to keep to yourself. Sometimes he BLESSES us so we can share the blessings with others, and that is what I did. Silly of me to allow other people's judgement to put doubt in my own experiences. When you grow you can see things clearly. That was not so clear to me before. I have learned to tell the truth, my truth even if someone does not agree! I had to tell myself that not everyone will "accept" me. YES! That is the goal. lol. Why would I want to be accepted by EVERYONE? that would not make me special or original and I have to remind myself of a perfect GOD who was not even accepted in his own hometown. This makes me BEAUTIFUL and wise and a leader. I do not wish anymore to be accepted by people who cannot see my light when there were people who refused to believe Jesus light. This is not to compare me to Jesus in anyway but to share my point of view in saying that it is okay not to be accepted or feel "alone" because in all actuality.. YOU ARE NEVER ALONE. and Jesus accepts you. I accept me. I realize that I did not accept me first and because of this I was looking acceptance in others, not anymore. I have realized that God has placed truth in my heart for A REASON. It is not for me to seek validation from everyone who hears his truth. It is to only bring glory and light to those who cannot see.
I hope you all have a great evening and thank you for those who ARE kind, loving, understanding, compassionate because YOU are representing the true character of Jesus.
