And It Will Come Back Around!

In life we will all go through things that we 're simply meant to go through in order to serve as a lesson being taught. These things are no fault of our own, and we cannot avoid them.

However, some things we "may" bring on ourselves due to something done in our past to others , and then when it happens to us,we're reminded of how wrong it was to have done it to someone else. Karma! What goes around DOES come back around.

Therefore, don't put anymore on yourself, than what you know YOU cannot handle, although it was easy to dish it out initially.

Keep a watchful eye on what you SAY & DO to others.

Food For Thought:

When it eventually comes back around to you, it may sting a little more. Karma,well, it's still a lesson you will have learned! Not only will you now know that it was hurtful to someone else, but you'll "hopefully" learn to never do it it again in the future!

Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. Very Simple.

Oh...A Little Won't Hurt!

Congratulations!! You've been very disciplined. Way to go!

Remember to enjoy a treat when you've totally earned it,
However, don't go overboard!

ENJOY!

Commandments

Exodus 20:1-17 (King James Version)

1 And God spake all these words, saying,
2 I am the LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
3 Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
4 Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.
5 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;
6 And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.
7 Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.
8 Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.
9 Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work:
10 But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates:
11 For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.
12 Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.
13 Thou shalt not kill.
14 Thou shalt not commit adultery.
15 Thou shalt not steal.
16 Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour.
17 Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbour's.

HE Is With You

Psalm 121:1-2

I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills,

from whence cometh my help.

My help cometh from the LORD,

which made heaven and earth.

People are hurting everywhere! Pain caused by various reasons.YOU may even have pain. I pray that your spirit is lifted and whatever cares you have,that you place them in the hand of the Lord.

I pray for those that are going through a devastating time,especially at the loss of a loved one! I pray God's peace engulfs them "speedily" & allow their hearts and minds to be strengthened and comforted.

Philippians 4:7
And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

Philippians 4:9

The things you have learned and received and heard and seen in me, practice these things, and the God of peace will be with you.

Please"love" one another. AMEN.

"How Many More Times?"

When you first leave a relationship held in bondage, you will initially "feel" uncomfortable although it's the right thing to do.

I'm no relationship expert, I've just had my share of heartbreak from making mistakes more than a few times! Unfortunately! However, at the same time, it's now a benefit to those that I may now help from my trial and error. God always use our messes to bless others somehow , someway. I'm blessed that God is using me. That's fortunate!

Nonetheless, when you've prayed over a situation pertaining to an unhealthy relationship, and you step away to move forward, " why must you look back?" "Do you know?"

Perhaps,you may look back because it's what you were used to.Going into a new , unfamiliar place in your life without that person, makes you feel concerned, worried and fearlful.

You never have to go it alone.

The Lord is there with you as you move forward in your "new" life.

Galations 5: 1 STAND FAST therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free,and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.

Galations 5:7 Ye did run well; who did hinder you that ye should not obey the truth.

I'm not a bible teacher obviously, however, this scripture spoke to my heart when I was saved. I was in an unhealthy relationship & prayed to be removed from it. Weaning myself from him was "uncomfortable"...therefore, I looked back, and wanted to just stay with what I was used to, in order to avoid "change" & the suffering of "going through". That was hard. I realized that "staying" in a place where I knew my spirit was calling me from was even "harder"....a place of bondage. I meditated on those scriptures & many others to remind me, that it would be foolish to go back to nonsense when GOD loved me enough to take me out of it! What a blessing!!!

The scripture, asks, " who did hinder you that ye should not obey the truth?

So, "Who's hindering "YOU" from walking where you need to walk? Don't allow anyone or anything keep you from walking ahead. You cannot look back , or go back to a place that no longer serves "purpose" in your life.

You don't have to be chained to your past!

Have FAITH & move ahead!

Pray! GOD HEALS

Such Freedom!

Believe it or not, having your own independence brings about such freedom! Even with your independence that doesn't mean that you can never allow people or someone to help in time of serious need. Ponder over the feeling you get when you reach in YOUR purse, grab YOUR wallet to get YOUR cash & spend for YOURSELF!

I love that feeling!!! That's not to say, that your honey, cannot buy you nice things or even give you cash of his own. I mean who wants to refuse that when there are no strings attached? lol However, this freedom that I'm speaking about keeps you from being hindered & being able to " be" or being able to just "do". You don't have to sit around and wait for someone to take care of you because you CAN do it for yourself. It's never a good place to depend on someone for long...because eventually you'll see that if that person doesn't have a right heart, they may take advantage of what they consider, "their" power over you.

Never get manipulated by money or anything else.

I remember many years ago....I had an old car. It gave out here and there,then completely "out". The person that I was in an unhealthy relationship with saw that as an opportunity to "control" me, by allowing me to drive his second car. Since I needed transportation desparately, I agreed. Well, as a little time went on, I was monitored like a child, and had no freedom. Eventually, I had enough & prayed over it. Guess what? GOD blessed me!! I was able to purchase a brand new car! It was awesome to regain my freedom, my independence!

Food For Thought:

Never except gifts of any sort with strings attached.
If you're married, you may still have your independence as long as
it doesn't interefere with family...have balance.

Wise hubsands should understand this.

If you've lost your independence, regain it one day at a time.
*Don't forget that little nest egg for emergencies!*
Pray for guidance in this area.
