How do you like yourself?

How do you like yourself? This is a hard question for me, there are times when I don't like myself and other times I do. I am frustrated with my hair. I had it cut into a picksie style and now I'm sorry I did my hair needs attention every single day. Blow dry and curling otherwise I look like a boy. In reading today's scripture I must tell you that the one thing I picked up is love your neighbour as yourself. Ahhh, I'm not a very kind person to myself, how can I be kind to other people? Actually, I am, I do treat people around me. I don't like to cause people unnecessary discomfort or stress. Romans 13:9-10 Jubilee Bible 2000 9 For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not murder, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet, and if there is any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. 10 Charity works no evil to a neighbour; therefore, charity is the fulfillment of the law. I realised that God sees me and knows me and I am very loved by God. Living my life to the fullest and trying to be patient, loving and kind to everyone around me. It's a hard task my husband said to me Your name and You are exactly what Your name means. My name is from French origin "Yvette" and it meanse yew, archer. My husband reconks archer is my passion. I am a true warrior, always ready to defend and protect. Live is never boaring around me. I still find my peace in God, the Lord Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit is living inside of me. Yew tree is a coniferous tree. It has red berrylike fruits, and most parts of which ary poisonous. I read that the Yews according to folklore, parts of the tree are poisonous. The tree can live to a great age. And then I see it, longbows and cabinets, these items come from the timber of this tree. Prayer Oh Lord, You know and understand me, my name has some complications. I see that I am a warrior and there's the thing. I charge in and sort matter out. Please, Lord, I need You to show me that I am loved, I need to love people as myself. In the name of Jesus Christ. Amen

#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...

You are a Blessing to me!

Working in a multiracial office is always interesting, and my story today is one about sharing and looking out for each other.    Our cleaning lady doesn’t earn much and I doubt even if they are paying her ‘mini mum wages’.   Nevertheless the people in our office know this and worry about her.    One of the young ladies decided to give her a newspaper with all the latest add in it.   As she paged through the paper she sat next to her and asked her ‘what do you like’.    Looking at the stuff on the page she pick out a couple of things that seemed impossible to own and said to this young girl.   I like this and I would love to have one of these. Without her knowledge the Human Resource division made a collection and they then assigned the task to the young lady to buy the things Judy wanted. We gave her, her gifts today.   I was amazed at her gratefulness, tears of joy running down her face and all she could say was “T...

Help Me Stay True in Giving God His Tithe

Can I be real with you for a minute? Tithing is something I wrestle with. I try my best to be faithful, giving to the best of my ability. But let's be honest, sometimes I look around and see others who seem to be blessed in ways I'm not. They have this financial ease, this "caliber" of blessing, that can feel a world away from my own reality. And in those moments of doubt, a quiet, gentle voice reminds me: I am blessed. God does provide. He has come through for me more times than I can count, often in ways I didn't even see until later. He's always there, picking me up when I've lost it and guiding me when I'm blind to the path. My heart is so grateful for that. But my thinking still needs work. My human nature kicks in and whispers, "I earned this. I worked for this salary." It’s a constant battle to get my heart aligned with the truth. And the truth is found in verses like this: “A tithe of everything from the land, whether grain from the ...
