Feeling sad


Ever feel like everyone around you doubts your abilities? Ever wonder, what have I done to make everyone think I am not capable. Have I not shown to be effective, caring, loving, fair, kindhearted, generous, in fact, awesome??

I roll through life thinking I am a pretty good character. I don't do too much that puts me in the bottom feeder category. I work hard, I stay pretty happy, I seldom argue, I give to the needy, I go out of my way to find opportunities to bless others, and even so, life happens. Sometimes people that I share my heart with come back and hold those heartstrings tightly around my neck until they have certainly made their point that they are not trustworthy.

So sad I feel. Betrayed I feel. Remind me to play my cards closer to my chest from now on. Kick me when I am down, it is easier to step on my heart that way.

What would it take?

To live your dreams? To reach out in faith? To live without fear?

7For God did not give us a spirit of timidity, but a spirit of power, of love and of self-discipline.

2nd Timothy 1:7

Guidance Counselor John 14 15-21

Jesus Promises the Holy Spirit
15"If you love me, you will obey what I command. 16And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Counselor to be with you forever— 17the Spirit of truth. The world cannot accept him, because it neither sees him nor knows him. But you know him, for he lives with you and will bec]">[c] in you. 18I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you. 19Before long, the world will not see me anymore, but you will see me. Because I live, you also will live. 20On that day you will realize that I am in my Father, and you are in me, and I am in you. 21Whoever has my commands and obeys them, he is the one who loves me. He who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I too will love him and show myself to him."
