We may not always know why we are going through something in life. We might get up set we may try to fight it, kind of like when your running against the wind. All the while we were trying to fight our own battle, God is saying instead of fighting by yourself lean on me I can give you rest. I often think I know what I need but only the creator could know what his own creation is meant for and what our true purpose is. I know that we all don’t understand why our dreams don’t come to pass when we want them to but, God doesn’t always give us what we want he gives us what we need. I think that God doesn’t give you anything you can’t handle and he can use theses life struggles to comfort others and teach us life lessons that we can carry with us and it can transform us into the people we were created to be. I feel that the most wonderful people in life and our so compassionate are the ones who have struggled the most because they realized that they can’t do this life all by their self. It’s like you have had to walk through the fire to know what a real burn feels like. I want to treat others the way I want to be treated I want to show my appreciation and encouragement to those in need because I know how good if feels to have someone smile at me or encourage me, and to tell me that they appreciate me for all I do. I have learnt that I can’t beat my self up if someone doesn’t approve of me or even like me because it doesn’t mean there is anything wrong with me it just means they have gone through some stuff in life that shaped them in a way that may not have been fair to them and they let their mood and life take over their peace and love. If you don’t have something your self how can you give it, like if someone hasn’t been shown love or appreciation or compassion how can they give that to someone else. I believe that I have a way of understanding others, their needs their hurts and their hearts. I am so blessed to be able to be able to understand others but that’s because I have been shown it by the people that are in my life I have the most under standing mom in the whole world. She always listens to me and lets me speak my mind and loves me with her actions. So you see it’s easy for me to love others freely because I believe that God loves me and my family does. There are so many who don’t know how much God loves them and that’s up to us has believers of Jesus to show compassion and the grace of Gods love with others around us because if someone doesn’t know their value then we must show others how special and unique and special they are by loving them with our actions. Jesus showed us He loved us, by dying for us. If someone is not treating you fairly don’t take it to heart just do something kind for them and keep doing kind things as a sign of love, they will come around. We all need to be shown love with our actions not just words. People are not the way they are for no reason our life and personalities and experience shape us, but they don’t define us, only God can define us. He can take any thing that has happened in your life good, or bad and use it for good. I know God is not finished with me yet he is still working on me. He is working on all of us we just need to stop fighting our own battle because when we are weak he is strong, we all deal with something life isn’t meant to be easy but with the peace that we aren’t the writers of or life’s story, it can really help to know that he is in control. When you thing about what others are going through in the world and their struggles it really can give perspective on the things that are happening in your own life. If we all took a little time out of our day and just told someone how much we love them or wrote a not telling them how much you appreciate them, we would all be surprised what a difference it would make in the lives of others and your own life. I love writing letters to the people that I love, I want them to know how much I love them and appreciate them because we all need to hear it no matter who we are we need to be loved and appreciated. If we use our gifts to bless others lives, it really can bless ours. We all have something to offer if we discover what it is and use it to be blessing you will be surprised how your heart and life can change for the better. Be kind to others and they will be kind to you appreciate someone and they will appreciate what you put into other you will get back. In my life I have always been so hard on my self and tried to be perfect. In doing so I was doing a disservice to myself because there is no one who hasn’t made a mistake or has looked back on their life wishing they hadn’t done that or should have done this instead. We all do it we thin about the life we could have had if we just would have taken that chance or if we would have made better choices. IF we can forgive other for their mistakes and their failures then why can’t we forgive ourselves to. I have been so hard on my self my whole life. I never knew how to shot off the voice in my head that was telling me that I failed or I have so many things I need to change about myself. I have to learn that only God is perfect and he doesn’t expect me to be he loves me just the way I am, and I don’t have to earn his love it is a gift that he just wants us to receive and use the gifts that we have to bless him and those around. I cant’ think their could every anything more rewarding then to know that I was using all my gifts to bless God and others. I have so much to say I just want to have a chance to tell the world what my heart is saying. I always feel that people just need to know that someone understands them and I do that is a gift from God and he wants me to encourage other s and be a comfort to those who need it and I think we all do! Love and kindness is contagious so lets spread it around the world!
