Expect not one miracle, but many!
STOP CONTROLLING OTHERS AND CARE FOR YOURSELF!
"If we listen to ourselves and our God we will not be mislead! Give yourself what you need and learn to live self and God directed lives.
Giving ourselves what we need and learning to live self and God directed lives requires faith. We need enough faith to get on with our lives and we need to do at least a little something each day to begin moving forward.
Few situations in life are ever improved by not taking care of ourselves and not giving ourselves what we need. In fact, we may learn most situations are improved when we take care of ourselves and tend to our needs. Learn how to care for yourself.
Giving ourselves what we need is not difficult the formula is simple.
In any given situation:
Detach
and
ask what to I need to take care of myself?"
-Codependent No More
This is not a selfish thing.
God says:
"Love your neighbor as yourself."
So we must know how to love ourselves before we can truly love others.
We we learn our value,
that we are valuable because of Him,
We can lay our lives down willingly,
not from compulsion,
or a sense of martyrdom,
not being a doormat.
We become freed to give out of a true love.
We know what we are giving and why we give it.
It does not diminish us in value or meaning,
but actually points to the ONE who gives us all of our meaning.
"Why are you sleeping?
Get up and pray,
otherwise temptation will overpower you!"
-Luke 22
