Violated trust!




‘All of you be submissive to one another, and be clothed with humility, for “God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble.”’  1 Peter: 5: 5


The first step to healing your mistrust in other people is to humble yourself before God and serve man.  If you think this is easy let me tell you truthfully; it isn’t.  This is a process which takes time, because of your violated trust it is almost impossible to trust people.  The most important thing you should realise is that your trust is normally violated by someone very close to you.  

Humbly yourself before God isn’t that easy.  It isn’t a matter of say ‘I humble myself’ and you are humble.  No sir, it doesn’t work that way.  Things in your life will challenge you and the proud spirit you have will automatically jump to your defence.  ‘How dear you speak to me like that.’  This was my first reaction and it took me some time to realise, hey that isn’t someone being humble.  In difficult situations I find it hard not to speak my mind and stand my man.  The only way to overcome this is to pray in the spirit and ask the Lord God to place a watch over your mouth and guard your thoughts.  Believe me this is a process and I am still learning each day.  So being submissive toward my new husband is slowly but surely falling into place.  Being kind towards other people is just as difficult because my pride is my main stumbling block.

‘He who finds his life will lose it, and he who loses his life for My sake will find it.’ Matthew 10: 39 


The second and most important part is to really and truly seek the Lord God.  You need to stop and watch your words and thoughts.  You need to make an effort in spending time in God’s word and become quiet in His presence.  At first you won’t feel that you are making any progress.  Then suddenly God will speak into your life.  Something will just fall into place and you will know without a doubt God just spoke to you.  

‘And this commandment we have from Him:  that he who loves God must love his brother also.’ 1 John 4: 21


Thirdly, to take this violated hurt away you need to love your neighbour.  Believe me this too isn’t something that just happens overnight.  The minute you start working on your relationship with God many things start to fall apart around you.  You will find people are aggressive and ready to take you on for any situation.  But take heart and push through this, because the end result is amazing.  

God will lift you up and you will become someone God ordained you to be.  Your life will have meaning and you will feel fulfilled.  

Prayer


Lord God, in my heart I want to dedicate people into Your hands that have been through all kinds of abusive situations.  They may have been abused and it may have left them feeling empty and violated.  Lord I don’t know what their situations may be but in humbleness I dedicate each person into Your hands today asking for forgiveness of sin.  Praying Lord that You will touch their lives and bring healing into their lives.  Helping them deal with each situation as it comes along, and moving closer to You in the Holy Name of Jesus Christ.  Lord I pray for their protection and healing and ask You to help them.  Amen

2nd Wedding Anniversary!

Hey, hey it is my 2 nd anniversary!   This has been an interesting time in my life and I must be honest I am starting to see the changes in my own life.    Firstly remember I am a city girl with this bad ass attitude, my way or the highway.   Ah, now let me tell you that doesn’t work like this.   My husband has a firm hand over me and keeps me in toe.   I am still my own person and have many new interests.    How was my day today?   Well the normal, got out of bed at 04h30 and then left the house by 06h00 arriving at work at 07h00.   Then to top it off in an early morning meeting at 07h30 to 08h30, then back in the office.   I worked on three projects; getting information from people isn’t that easy.   I firstly completed my own scope of work, followed up with the suppliers and then going back to the next person.   As I work according to my time keeping schedule I then finally got to lunch time.   I...

#never #destroyed

https://goo.gl/xK6bTg 2 Corinthians 4: 8-9AMP “We are pressured in every way [hedged in], but not crushed; perplexed [unsure of finding a way out], but not driven to despair; hunted down and persecuted, but not deserted [to stand alone]; struck down, but never destroyed;” I realized that my emotions are something that can cause me to feel pressure and hedged in. My circumstances seem impossible and I feel that there is no way I am going to make it. Then it’s time to check what is going on in your personal life.  Are you getting enough sleep? Are you eating properly? Do you take a break from time to time? If I don’t get enough sleep it seems despair is knocking at my door, and I feel miserable. I just cannot move forward, I want to curl up and died. Just because I am tired and there seems to be no way out. Emotions have a way of controlling each one of us. I realized that I will never be destroyed because there is a way forward.  God gave me common sense an...
