Did you know that self pity is a sin? Yes, it is a self-destructive attitude that paralyzes and prevents us from making any progress in life. It may feel good temporarily, but it is actually debilitating. Do you know anyone who is miserable, and they seem to not be satisfied until you are miserable too? Don't open the door to self pity and misery mindedness, if you want to be filled with righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit! Light and dark cannot coexist. So many people waste so much of their life feeling sorry for themselves. They are not happy with their life, and they think its up to somebody else to make them happy. Well, the bad news is, nobody can ever fill the emptiness or void you have and the only one who can do something about your unhappiness is you! The good news is that you already have everything you need to do something about it right now. God is available 24/7 and his phone is never busy! You can call on Him, and He will answer you and show you great and mighty things that you know not. I love what the Bible says about trusting in the Lord...It describes our walk with God as that of an eagle soaring high in the sky. As we hope and trust and develop our faith in Jesus Christ, the Living God, we will be strengthened, made whole, and eventually rise to our full potential in life. If you love adventure, this is it! Life with a Heavenly minded purpose, has eternal and daily benefits... most of all it is the greatest adventure of all.
Through the lens of "faith" established in the power of the Holy Spirit and the refreshing meditation of the Holy Word of God, our life is meant to be powerful, exciting, victorious and joyful. We need to choose carefully what we allow our eyes to read, our ears to hear and our minds to accept. This present day culture we are living in, wants to distract us completely away from Kingdom Living. However, this is no surprise to Almighty God! Thats why He has already provided a way for us to live free from despair, self pity and depressing attitudes. Why don't more of us realize that we are just wasting our time when we gratify our flesh and its self driven nature. Spend time building up your inner man or inner woman, and find out who you are in Christ. Then, start taking it to the next level by speaking God's Word over every temptation, over every problem and learn how to get the victory in Christ through small baby steps. We all have to learn to be content. It is the base human nature to always want more and more, and never be satisfied. But the Bible clearly states that contentment with God, is great gain. (I Tim. 6:6-10) Finding satisfaction and fulfillment in Christ is the first step in gaining the victory over self pity. You will learn how to see your life and yourself as God sees you. You are Loved, you are healed, you are an overcomer, and you can be content no matter what your circumstance!
"Adventure....going through the tough times in life and rising above it all." Let the adventure of your life begin today. After all, you are the only one who can allow God to remove the roadblocks of self pity, and its time! Time to move out of pitiful and into powerful. (Gal. 2:20) Why not take back what belongs to you, and start living the great adventure of God's amazing grace today!
