Victim or Victor?

Good Morning Everyone,

What is holding you back today?
What is keeping you from being happy or fulfilled?

Is it your circumstances?
Is it your past?
Is it lack of finances?
Is it the words of others that have wounded you,
and made you lose confidence?

Could it be your own mindset?
Could it be that the things you have allowed in your spirit
and thinking have made you feel defeated before you even
TRY to accomplish something?

What if in this premise, you never try? What if the circumstances
of your life so alter you that you cannot feel joy, cannot move
past this point, cannot forgive or find healing?

Do you want to spend your whole life in bondage to the past
or the hurts or the trials of life?

That's right... it is spiritual bondage. You are chained
to whatever you are holding on to. And you cannot move
forward as long as that chain is attached to you spiritually
and emotionally.

Is this what life is about?

Life is about success. It is about pursuing what we know
we should be doing. And people we should be loving.
Jobs we should be accomplishing. Things we should be learning.

Life is about growing, forgiving, moving forward and finding
joy and counting our blessings in each day.

Trials and circumstances are temporary and fleeting.
But our mindset should not cling to those things that weigh us
down and keep us in that world of hurt forever. The circumstances
pass, why are you still holding on to them?

I will tell you why. It is a spiritual battle to keep you from moving
on or enjoying your life or succeeding at one thing. It makes
you feel like a loser, a victim, and that you have no purpose.
It makes you give up and hide away and isolate yourself and
blame others, and feel pain from what people have said or done.

It keeps you from enjoying your life.

It is literally a choice.

You have a choice to grow, to learn, to forgive, to move on,
to pursue your dreams and goals, and to become the best person
you can be.

What do you think you were given life for? To fail?
To give up? To forever feel like a victim and not fight back
and get over it? What is your life about?

My friends, these are things we all face.

WE cannot let people control our thinking or our dreams.
We cannot let the hurts of life become our mindset.

I ask you today, to get on your knees talk to God, lay
these things at his feet one by one. Then release them,
and do not pick them back up. Make a list on a sheet of paper
of people you need to forgive and one by one do it. Make a list
of things that have hurt you, that you are holding on to, and one
by one release them. Make a list of goals, and one by one set
small steps to do some of them.

Don't give up! Don't let the hurts of life dictate to you, who you are!

You are a child of the King of Kings, called for his purpose,
forgiven by his precious sacrifice on the cross. You are beautiful
to him, you have purpose, and a job to do in his kingdom.

Don't let Him down, he needs you to get busy for his sake
and the soul of others.

And don't let yourself down. Your precious life is a gift!

Don't waste another moment on things that weigh you down
or that have no profit.

Live to succeed. And Live with goals in mind. And live
for Christ. These things are what make life worth living.

Everyone has trials, it is all in what we do with those that
makes us succeed or fail.

love always
millie

Only one life, will soon be past,
Only what is done for Christ will last.

I can do all things through Christ, who Strengthens me.
Philippians 4:13

Even overcome the past!

"Thoughts To Live By"

Should you find it hard to get to sleep tonight;
Just remember the homeless family who has no bed to lie in.

Should you find yourself stuck in traffic; don't despair.
There are people in this world for whom driving is an
unheard of privilege.

Should you have a bad day at work; Think of the man who
has been out of work for the last three months.

Should you despair over a relationship gone bad; Think
of the person who has never known what it's like to
love and be loved in return.

Should you grieve the passing of another weekend;
Think of the woman in dire straits, working twelve
hours a day, seven days a week, for $15.00 to feed
her family.

Should your car break down, leaving You miles away
from assistance, Think of the paraplegic who would
love the opportunity to take that walk.

Should you notice a new gray hair in the mirror;
Think of the cancer patient in chemo who wishes
she had hair to examine.

Should you find yourself at a loss and pondering;
what is life all about, what is my purpose?
Be thankful, there are those who didn't live long
enough to get the opportunity.

Should you find yourself the victim of other
people's bitterness, ignorance, smallness or
insecurities; Remember, things could be worse.
You could be them!!!
