Let GOD

We crave acceptance, therefore criticism and judgement are hard on us mentally and emotionally. The fact is-it hurts. But confronting the criticism and judgement of other people becomes easier when you remember that ultimately it is before your own master you stand or fall. In the end you will answer to God alone.How can we succeed at what God has called us to if we are overly concerned about what other people think? 

If you get the idea in your head that everything concerning your life should always be perfect, you are setting yourself up for a fall. This is not to suggest that you should be negative. But you do need to be realistic enough to realize ahead of time that in fact very few things in life are ever perfect. Many people are hurting terribly and are crying out for help, but they aren't willing to receive the help that God has to offer. It is amazing how we often want things our way. When someone hurts you, you may feel they owe you something, yet Jesus wants you to let it go. 

No matter how much you may want his help, you will receive only when you are willing to do things God's way. As the blossom can't tell what becomes of it's fragrance, we can't tell what becomes of our influence. Every good gift and every blessing is from above, and comes down from the father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning. So often people are afraid of brokenness. But if your outer man is broken, the powerful things inside you can pour forth. 

Stability is maturity. To grow up in God is to come to a place where you can be content no matter the situation because you are rooted and grounded, not in things, but in the Lord. Do you ever really get tired of doing the same old thing all the time? You want to do something different but you either don't know what to do or you are afraid of doing the new thing you think about doing? You do the same thing all the time even though you are bored with it because you are afraid  to step out and do something different. You would rather be safe and bored than excited and living on the edge. There is a certain amount of comfort in sameness - you may not like it, but you are familiar with it. I am not where I need to be but thank God I am not where I used to be. I'm okay and on my way.🔜😉🙇
