No matter how long it has been when things happened to you, it is still a memory in your mind. It still has a place in your subconscious that triggers feelings and emotions that you thought had vanished. No one wants to hold on to things, but sometimes things are hard to let go of. We may often hear a song that will trigger a memory that brought us hurt and pain. We may see a television show that pertains to something that we may have went through. It does not matter how long we hold on to things, and it does not matter if we let it go, because that memory is still there.
When that happens to us, it is like cutting open something that has been healed, it still hurts. Our mind is like a computer, we store things that we want to remember and we get rid of things that we do not want to remember anymore. Our heart is like a magnet, it captures things be it good or bad. We often take everything to our heart. Our feelings comes from our heart, and the pain from the hurt travels to our soul.
Some people just do not understand how their words hurt others when they are said in anger whether they mean it or not. People do not forget when others hurt them, or make them feel like they are less than nothing. People do not ever forget hurtful things, they just find a way to cope with what they are feeling. It is always there. It makes a person want to hate, but they know that it is not the right thing to do. Sometimes hearts turn to stone never to feel anything again. Never letting anyone in, or get close to them. They always have a protective wall around them, they never let their guard down, they are always on the defensive. When a person has been hurt they will do everything they can to keep from being hurt again.
It is not that they do not want to be around anyone, it is just that they do not trust people. They watch to see what will be said and how it is said. They watch the attitudes of people and how they treat others. No one wants to be hurt, but somewhere along the lines of life there will be hurt and pain. There will always be something or someone who will hurt us. When those memories arise from the past, yes they still hurt, they still make us cry, they still make us feel a certain type of way because it takes us back to the time when we were hurt. Maybe there is someone that needs to be for given. Maybe there is someone that needs to apologize to you for whatever reason. Sometimes people just do not know how to apologize at all. Maybe they feel if they apologize for something it will make them weak; it takes a real person to apologize for what they have done wrong.
When we are alone with our thoughts, it is only natural for us to think about things in the present just as things of the past. We think about the times when we were children and all of the fun we had. We think about our loved ones who has gone on before us. We think about something funny that made us laugh. We think about when we had our children and how beautiful it was. We think about what we want to buy when we go shopping. We think about the vehicle, and house we want to buy, but through all of that there will be something that will cause us to cry because we cannot get what we want right then. What do we do, we take it to our heart. We let it fester instead of just forgetting about it. When we cry about things, some say we are sensitive. Our feelings are our own and no one has the right to say that we are sensitive about anything we are feeling. No one has the right to judge how someone feels. If we did not have feelings how would we express ourselves. How would anyone have an opinion about anything? How would the world be if no one had feelings? How would we feel about what is going on today if no one had feelings?
We all have things in our heart that has hurt us and still brings tears. We are human beings. We will always take things differently, see things differently, be different about things, have our own opinions about things, live our lives how we want to live it…who has a right to judge anyone except the One who created us? Who has the right to say anything about who we are? Who has a right to hurt us? No one! Not a living soul! Who has the right to say who we are not, or suppose to be? No One! We are who we are, and who we are is who we were created to be. It does not matter the setbacks that we have, we are still who we are created to be. Everyday is new, and we have another chance to be better and to do better. We cannot let what people say, or how they make us feel stop us from doing what we were created to do. Yes, words hurt, but God’s Words heal broken hearts, broken souls, and hurt feelings. Be yourself because I am going to be the best me I can be for the One who created me.
FALLING
Mishaps, falling in traps set by the enemy, why so many, why any?
Why do we wait today to say, No More Falling!
Falling to get up again, to began again, to win again, to be in again the good graces of Him who can bring falling to an end again. To pick us up again, to smile again, to praise again, to thank Him again, we win in the end again.
No more sickness again, no more dying again, only love again in our hearts again, shout again, scream again, dance again, because in the end again we win again.
Falling again on our knees again, lifting our hands again, looking towards love again. Being who we are again in Him again, peace in Him again, in love with Him again, not alone again, holding us close again, to His heart again.
Running in victory again, to spend eternity with Him again, once was lost, but found again. Walking with Him again! Ready to do everything for Him again, never letting go again, holding on again. NO More Falling, Falling, Falling! Only Winning, Winning, Winning!
Defeated is the enemy under our feet again crushing his head under our feet again just as Jesus did again, at the cross, in the wilderness. In the sea of our soul again, we WIN! His blood paid the price He shed for us again, adopted in again, no longer enemies of God again!
This is just the part of me that I keep inside, no one knows I can speak in rhyme, rhythm, and in time high or low my voice can go. vibrations that shakes light, teeth in the roots of the gums in the mouth of the one speaking, thinking deepening the words said from the brain and heart set apart from the rest, always set apart from the rest. Haters are my motivators, can’t keep me down, lose the frown put on a smile.
Laughter is what I am after, not from you, but from Him, because His joy is my strength, forever not short, but for eternity. See me, myself, and I know why the enemy has tried to take me, I am a threat to all who cares not to know the truth. Speaking what I do, only truth no lies. Saying Hello to the Kingdom, saying goodbye to hell, because with Jesus is where I am going to dwell. Well for now no more falling, falling, falling. Only Jesus Calling me to Himself to do the work He has set for me. See you in eternity!
GETTING BACK TO THE BASICS OF EVERYTHING
Oftentimes we forget about where we came from when we get up on our feet. We forget about all of the things that we had to go through to get to where we are in our life. We forget how to help others. We forget how to really love others. Sometimes we just need to sit back and think about things, We need to think about getting back to the basics of everything. For no reason at all, I looked up one of my broadcasts and listened to it. I really gave some good information. I never thought that I had that in me to do such a wonderful thing. My own words touched my heart. I thought about a lot of things in my own life. I just never knew I had gifts and talents like that. I know I have been under a lot of stress that has caused me not to be able to write, but it is time for me to get back to the basics of everything I know I should be doing. I cannot let that stop me from doing what God has called me to do. I cannot, and will not be defeated. No, my life is not perfect, but I a doing the best I can to be who God has created me to be. I still fall sometimes, but that doesn’t make me any less of a woman of God. I am still a woman of God. I am still a child of God. Sometimes we all fall but we get back up again and start over. We cannot let setbacks stop us, because I know I am not going to let a setback stop me from being who I am in God. When I have a setback, I know that there is a lesson in that setback. I know that there was something for me to learn. Everything we go through in life is a lesson to be learned. Things that we encounter in life is to make us strong, to grow our faith, to bring us closer to Jesus.
I can admit that I fell a little bit, but God is good. He did not let me stay down. He picked me up, dusted me off, set my feet on a plain path and established my goings. I can look back over my life now and see where God has brought me from, even through my shortcomings. I am thankful for all of the things He has brought me through that could have taken my life. Even though I cry sometimes I can still smile through my tears. I can still smile through hurt and pain, and persecution, and judgement from others. I can still smile through my cloudy days. I can still smile with pain in my heart. I can still smile because Jesus is smiling on me. He has set me free! I love me, I like me, and most of all Jesus loves me, and likes me, and that is all that matters to me.
Just because someone makes mistakes, Jesus does not stop loving them. He does not give up on them, and He does not turn away from them. Some people seem to think that when someone makes a mistake, Jesus punishes them. He disciplines us so we will know better as to not make that same mistake again. We should be glad we have a Heavenly Father who loves us enough to correct us when we need to be corrected. His correction is for our own good to help us, not to harm us. We should just know that we are loved with an unconditional love that will last forever. Stay blessed.
