Stop comparing myself to others!

2 Corinthians 10 Amplified Bible (AMP)

¹² Not that we [have the audacity to] venture to class or [even to] compare ourselves with some who exalt and furnish testimonials for themselves! However, when they measure themselves with themselves and compare themselves with one another, they are without understanding and behave unwisely.

My fight with myself is really difficult, I have been working really hard on my attitude, I want to be more accommodating and friendly and loving and kind.  These are normal fruits of the spirit and it seems that I have shaken my tree to such an extent that all the fruits have fallen off.  I am constantly in some kind of battle with my own analysis of who I am, how I should act etc.  To my mind I feel that I have lost value in God’s sight as well as in the sight of friends.  The comparisons are not even real and just but I still keep doing it.  I want to stop having other people determine my worth and I have decided to stop this right now.  I am an original God created me in God’s image.  There is no one like me.

Galatians 5 New Living Translation (NLT)

²⁵ Since we are living by the Spirit, let us follow the Spirit’s leading in every part of our lives. ²⁶ Let us not become conceited, or provoke one another, or be jealous of one another.

I pray Abba Father please help me not compare myself to other people and help me to draw near to You and grow spiritually.  Lord please help me so that I am able to renew my mind and be transformed by Your words.  In Jesus Name Amen

Taste and see that the LORD is Good!

I want to take this opportunity in singing praises to my LORD and Savior.  I will Bless the LORD my God at all times; His praise shall continually be in my mouth.  May my soul always make its boast in the LORD my God, let the humble hear and be glad.  Oh, magnify the LORD my God with me, and let us exalt HIS name together!

I seek the LORD and He answers me and delivers me from all my fears.  Those who look to HIM are radiant and their faces shall never be ashamed.  Me poor old me. Cry out to the LORD and He hears me and saves me out of all my troubles.

The Angels of the LORD encamps around me who fears the Lord and delivers me.

Against my foe!

As I sit reading my Bible I have decided to pray and ask the Lord my God, Abba Father in the name of Your Son Jesus Christ please stand up for me.  ‘Great is the LORD, of David Contend, O LORD, with those who contend with me; fight against those who fight against me!  Take hold of shield and buckler and rise for my help!  Draw the spear and javelin against my pursuers!  Say to my soul, “I am your salvation!”  Psalm 35: 1-3

Abba Father You know the tongues that are speaking against me, people that are bad mouthing me, LORD my LORD I pray that You will deal justly with these people, whatever they say against me LORD may it return to them 100%.  Amen

Purpose and Vision

Is there anybody that can tell me? 

 

How does one discover your purpose in life as well as identifying your vision for your own life?  I really need some advice and direction.  I have been praying about this and I feel that I am so isolated. 

Words of Gods promises to me ... Genesis 28: 15

Twitters to God

Genesis 28:15

'I am with you and will watch over you wherever you go, and I will bring you back to this land. I will not leave you until I have done what I have promised you.'

My daily devotions are pointing to this word of God.  The Lord my God is watching over me wherever I go, I believe that He will bring me back into the land He promised me.  He will not leave me until He has done what He has promised to me.  I take this work on the grounds that my God is true and He is with me regardless of my difficulties.  As a cloud watcher I am waiting for the storm to pass and the rains to come.
