I had a bad night. One of these nights reminded me of how bad people can me, their motives, their actions and inactions towards people who they think are less than they are. I think I figured it out, they need to have control over someone to make themselves feel superior. That’s all it is. The only person who has control over me is God. God is the only one who never fails me. I don’t have to worry about God failing to be my friend.
My perspectives sometimes are not always accurate either. My thoughts tend to drift into dark corners where they shouldn’t go. It’s the devil that is trying to pull me away from God. And I can say that I can recognize these things and pull myself back into God’s thoughts. I am not going to allow myself to be a victim of the devil’s thoughts and how he tries to manipulate me into thinking that I am just a bad person. Because I know I am not a bad person. God does not see me like that.
I sometimes feel extremely discouraged with having depressed thoughts. It seems that I have had depressive thoughts for years and they are hard to get rid of. Just like a stain that you try to wash it out and it seems to disappear for a while and keeps coming back. They call it a rinse and repeat cycle. The next time you find yourself thinking depressive thoughts or your mind wanders off to a dark place that you don’t want to be in, remind yourself or say to yourself
“I want to have a God (good) thought.” , “How would God think about me?” , “God see’s me as good!”
Don’t allow the devil to gain control of your mind. Remember you can always pull yourself back into God’s Realm. Surround yourself with Christians who will want to share positive, enlightening converstations, and give you the encouragement you need to push forward and not pull back. That’s what the devil wants and we’re not going to let him have it are we? NO!
I like God and like people who like God. They are good people. I want to be among those good people and to be accepted for who I am as a human being and nothing less.
I was made in God’s image and likeness just as you are!
Commentary:
I know full well that not all people are bad. I know their not. It just seems like there are days
that , that is all I am faced with. My friends are very busy running their own lives and it just
seems like sometimes I am forgotten about. It is very nice to get encouragement.
