When I am the Problem God is the answer!

Hello All! Today's PROOF comes in the form of being real with ourselves. I know that no matter what is happening, if I am feeling disturbed, I have a part in that! I can be annoyed that someone didn't include me in something and make it personal by saying to myself they don't like me and that must mean I am unworthy of their attention. So why am I the problem in this scenario? Well, maybe they did a couples thing and didn't want me to feel uncomfortable or maybe they forgot or maybe they only had enough room for so many people! The point is I can turn it into a personal attack on my heart when in reality it is me being insecure or in need of attention or complete self demoralization etc etc etc! That is how I used to take something innocent and not even remotely about me and turn it into something those folks don't deserve to have put on them! I would get angry, resentful, hurt and take it out on myself in terrible ways. But, I said I used to do these things! Today when I walk in a room and two people are across the room talking and look back at me when they see me come in and stop talking and then go back to quietly speaking; I know it's not that they were talking about me and stopped. It is because they heard me come in and it caught their attention and then went back talking amongst themselves! Today I see them and wave and when they are done I say hello! Today, even if I wasn't invited to something because someone that is coming doesn't like me, I can be ok with knowing not all of us are for all of us. I am not less than anymore and they aren't either.

This fundamental change came through discovering God and developing an intimate relationship with him! This allowed me to see that I am his worthwhile child and if I am worthwhile to him, I certainly can be to me! So if I know I am worthwhile and I love myself because the almighty God does, then nothing can ever make me doubt myself and my worth ever again. This is how I have learned to live and let live and love my neighbor as my Father would want me to. Since I have been practicing this way of LIFE, I no longer have those moments of wondering why someone isn't this that or the other with me. The reality is I am invited pretty much everywhere. I have so many people who say they are my friend and love me it is mind boggling; considering where I came from! I couldn't trust a soul for most of my LIFE and as a result I couldn't be trusted. Now I trust humans to be just that human! Flaws and all we are all still worthwhile children of God. So when you are feeling insecure or hurt or resentful; take a deep breath and get with God. Then ask for direction and peace regarding the situation and then go put your hand out to everyone you see and say hello, How are you? Then they will share with you and then suddenly they will ask you and bam, a friendship develops as they see who you are and you see who they are. Suddenly it becomes clear that we are just trying to do our best. Then we will be able to be supportive of each other and realize that we are all worthwhile children of God just trying to find our way through this life with a sense of Grace and dignity! Love you and God BLESS YOU ALL!
