Honestly this week has been a rollercoaster of a week. It started off
with a horrible dream Sunday night. What a great way to start the
week. It was one of those dreams where you realize everyday your
fighting the devil. In my dream I was fighting him big time. In life
people will hate you and I hate when people don't like me. But if
there's one person I want to hate me it's the devil. I'm human and
this week I've let things get to me and steal my joy. Last night I was
talking to my really good friend. When I see him I see Christ. He
hasn't had the best life, but he made the best of the life he is
given. He chooses not to let the little things bug him. And last night
he was talking about people stealing his joy and how he doesn't let
people. He chooses not to. I was thinking gosh.... Wish I could do the
same. But hey! I can. We can! The devil is here to kill,steal,and
destory. And I'm so sick of him trying to steal my joy and my love for
people. No matter how people treat us we are to love them. God
commands us too! If we have a bitter heart towards them, it will make
us bitter. Yes it's hard to love people who just hurt you over and
over again. But my God is greater than that hurt, then my hurt. When
we are hurt we tend to say the wrong things out of anger. I'm deeply
sorry for saying the wrong thing. Today I'm taking a stand. I don't
want to live my life with this hurt and I don't have too! I'm
choosing not to let anyone steal my joy anymore. My God is greater and
stronger!!
Dear Father in heaven. I praise YOUR Holy Name! I thank you for my
life and for everything you are doing in it. Father, please forgive me
of my sins this week. I'm so sorry I've let the little things get to
me. Father I want to be filled with your joy. I want to live my life
sold out for you and you only. I want to be so consumed with you.
Please keep me on the right track each day. I will draw closer to you
and I thank you that your word says you will draw close to us when we
draw close to you.
In Jesus' Wonderful Name Amen
"I'm yours forever my eyes won't turn again!!!"
