When you tell the world you’re grateful for peace, get ready to be tested. Had a tough time yesterday, but with everything, iron is sharpened. So today, my mission is simple.
Some recent life lessons
Your worth isn’t tied to your wealth or accomplishments. If the world loves you too much, you may lose yourself in it.
Jesus is working overtime with me. Being broken down is affirmation in a way that can’t be fully explained.
Wanting people to love me or understand me is no longer fruitful.
Sometimes the only person who can give you joy is self.
If it’s popular, I no longer want it.
This girl wants truth, not a preconceived notion
My challenge
Give a smile. A compliment to an unsuspecting recipient.
Love yourself and one another
"Sometimes the only person who can give you joy is self." - This is so true. I'm so sorry you've been having a tough time lately. Sending you hugs and love.
ReplyDeleteI've also learned that "sometimes the only person who can give you joy is self". Sending you a virtual hug during this tough time for those you know, and for you. Alana ramblinwitham.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteThis is so beautiful! Love is the most important of all! I always strive to smile at others, even when they don’t smile back, and I am definitely a compliment, giver, I know it makes people just swell inside when someone gives them a compliment! Have a beautiful weekend!
ReplyDeleteGood lessons and challenges. I always try to smile at people too.
ReplyDeleteThis was a difficult feeling to put into words, yet you did it well.
ReplyDeleteI pray you have a better day today. I talk to everyone I meet. It embarrasses my kids, especially when they were younger, but sometimes it's just what that person needs. My husband says I'm the only person I know who can go through a checkstand and know the life story of the person checking out my groceries!
ReplyDeleteGod is so good. He will keep you in His arms, even on those days you feel like giving in.
Blessings,
Betsy
Sounds good!
ReplyDeleteBig Hugs with love x
ReplyDeleteI love that reminder that your worth isn't tied to wealth or to your accomplishments!
ReplyDeleteI read in another friend's blog that today is actually National Compliment Day. You've nailed it, Regine!
ReplyDeleteO amor move montanhas, ame - se a si mesmo e aos outros!
ReplyDeleteIsto é o melhor do mundo!
Beijinhos sorridentes!
