Changing your circle
Changing your circle
People have two roles in our lives, either they are loving us (building us up) or they are hating us (tearing us down). Where love resides, there is no hate. As much as we like to sugar-coat it, there is no happy in between. Either a person has your best interest at heart or they simply don’t! The problem with holding on to people who clearly don’t, is that we lose ourselves in the process of keeping someone who is not adding any value to our life or situation anyway. (That goes for the people who love you in your face and dog you behind your back.)
In Essence, we are playing ourselves. Yeah, everybody plays the fools sometimes; so true. It’s when we decide to play it over and over that leads us down a path of self destruction. If you know how it felt the first time, why sign up for round two? If you know how long it took you to get over it the first time, why are you so willing to start from scratch again? I’m sure you don’t like pain, or do you?
Sometimes we give too much power to people and circumstances in life. Our strength comes by trusting God not trusting men. How easily we forget that. Just remember that God is love therefore he puts love in our life! There is no insecurity in what He blesses us with. The drama, issues, baggage, depression, anxiety, etc are things that we put in our lives by not putting our true self first and trusting God. We allow ourselves to “get use” to the drama thinking it’s normal. That’s just the way life is, right? Wrong, it doesn't have to be….
So think about the people and things in your life and really determine if they bring love or bring hate; rather its self hate; just drama and pain; backstabbing, jealousy, etc. If it’s not love, ask yourself is it really worth it in the long run?
You probably already know the answer, but will you follow it?
