self-pity

Where is your focus?

/ Pearls of Wisdom, Posts / / , , , , , , , , , ,

The secret to endurance is to keep your eyes and desire focused on Me and My Love for you. Do not look at yourself and your hardship. That will lead to emotional pressure and self-pity. Do not look for escape. That will lead to frustration and anger. Look only at Me. Focus on My Presence and My Voice. Isaiah 41:13 For I am the LORD your God who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, Do not fear; I will help you. Romans 12:1-2 Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship. 2 Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will. Romans 8:17-18 Now if we are children, then we are heirs—heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory.18 I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us. Romans :28 And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; 6 in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.

No Condemnation

/ Leave a Comment / Pearls of Wisdom, Posts / / , , , , , , , ,

Do not meditate on your weakness. That leads to self-condemnation and self-pity. Do not rejoice in your strength. That leads to pride, judgmentalism  and self-righteousness. Rather keep your focus on Me and listen for My Voice. You cannot follow what you do not focus on. Follow Me rather than your thoughts. John 10:27 27 My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me; 28 and I give eternal life to them, and they will never perish; and no one will snatch them out of My hand. 29 My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father’s hand. 30 I and the Father are one. Romans 8:1-2 1 There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. 2 For the law of the Spirit of life has set you free in Christ Jesus from the law of sin and death.

Volunteer Soldiers

/ Pearls of Wisdom, Posts / / , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

A soldier who is a volunteer in a war, doesn’t think twice when he is wounded in battle. It is expected. He is serving his country. You are my soldier.  You will experience pain as you engage with the enemy. But when you remember that you volunteered for My kingdom’s sake and for the sake of the lost, the pain is minimized. Soldiers don’t have self pity. They have determination. Soldiers don’t feel neglected or as if they are treated unfairly. They are involved in something too serious for that. Soldiers don’t consider themselves as missing out on life. They are too busy saving life. The time for rewards will come. Keep fighting. I love you! Philippians 3:13 Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me.

Emotions and frustrations

/ Pearls of Wisdom, Posts / / , , , , , , , , , , , ,

When you know you cannot do anything else to help the hardened ones near you, give them to Me and work on yourself. Recognize your weakness and come to Me. Bind and cast out the enemy who wants to upset you. Fight that good fight. Submit to God, resist the devil’s attempts to upset you, and he will flee away. Never forget that I gave you authority to send him running away from you. Repent from all self pity.  I placed you in a strategic position. Don’t run. Send your flesh running instead.  I Am here.  I love you.  My strength is sufficient for you.  You will have just what you need.  Keep coming to Me. James 4:7 Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you

The Fountain of Youth

/ Pearls of Wisdom, Posts / / , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Are you looking for the fountain of youth? Look no further than your own soul.  Anger, unforgiveness, bitterness and self pity are what ages the body and the mind. Fear is the grandchild of anger. He brings death closer also. If fear is the grandchild of anger, what is the child of anger? Unbelief. An angry soul has no connection with God. Ephesians 4:31-32 Get rid of all hard feelings, anger and rage. Stop all fighting and lying. Don’t have anything to do with any kind of hatred. Be kind and tender to one another. Forgive one another, just as God forgave you because of what Christ has done. Galatians 5:19-25  19 Now the works of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, moral impurity, promiscuity, 20 idolatry, sorcery, hatreds, strife, jealousy, outbursts of anger, selfish ambitions, dissensions, factions, 21 envy,  drunkenness, carousing, and anything similar. I tell you about these things in advance—as I told you before—that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God. 22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faith, 23 gentleness, self-control. Against such things there is no law. 24 Now those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. 25 Since we live by the Spirit, we must also follow the Spirit. 26 We must not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another.
