TODAYS THOUGHTS..........GUILT, A TEMPORARY GIFT
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eT-Zo6iWbE4
PERHAPS YOU HAVE ALWAYS THOUGHT OF GUILT AS A BAD THING. IT CAN BE IF YOU HOLD ON TO IT. IT'S LIKE DRAGGING HEAVY SUITCASES WITH YOU WHEREVER YOU GO. YOU GET SO TIRED. GOD'S INTENTION WAS THAT GUILT WOULD BE A TEMPORARY EMOTION OR CONDITION TO DISCOURAGE YOU IN PURSUING HARMFUL LIFESTYLES. IF YOU WANT TO CONTINUE WITH THE INSANITY, THE GUILT BEGINS TO FADE AWAY.
GOD IS INTERESTED IN YOUR LIFE TRANSFORMATION INTO THE WONDERFUL PERSON HE ORIGINALLY CREATED YOU TO BE BEFORE YOUR ADDICTION OR DISEASE TOOK OVER.
DON'T LET FAMILY MEMBERS BEAT YOU UP FOR THE PAST. JESUS SAID " LET THE DEAD BURY THE DEAD, YOU COME AND FOLLOW ME." DETACH FROM THEIR CONDEMNING WAYS. THEY CAN CRITICIZE YOU WHEN THEY HAVE BECOME PERFECT. THERE IS NO CHANCE OF THAT HAPPENING. CONTINUE TO PRAY FOR THEM AND EXPRESS LOVE WHENEVER POSSIBLE BUT DON'T BECOME THEIR DOORMAT TO WIPE THEIR FEET ON AND PUT THE BLAME ON YOU.
WE ARE EACH INTENDED TO LIVE OUR OWN LIVES. YES WE MAY HAVE HURT THEM AND BADLY INFLUENCED THEM BUT THEY MUST BE STRONG ENOUGH TO OVERCOME THEIR BITTERNESS OR HURTS. GOD WILL HELP THEM IF THEY ASK. WE CAN'T CHANGE THE PAST. WE CAN ONLY CHANGE THE WAY WE FEEL ABOUT IT AND USE IT NOT TO REPEAT OUR MISTAKES.
YOU CAN ONLY LIVE 24 HOURS AT A TIME IN DAY TIGHT, SAFE COMPARTMENTS. DON'T LET YESTERDAY HURT YOU ANYMORE AND TOMORROW HAS NOT HAPPENED YET. YOUR MIRACLE MAY BE JUST AROUND THE CORNER. IF YOU ASK FOR FORGIVENESS SINCERELY, THEN GOD HAS FORGIVEN YOU. NOW FORGIVE YOURSELF. YOUR FAMILY WILL EVENTUALLY CATCH UP OR THEY LOSE THE BLESSING OF A RELATIONSHIP WITH YOU.
YOU MEN AND WOMEN ARE SO BEAUITFUL IN YOUR RECOVERY. IF YOU WILL LEARN TO LOVE YOURSELF, THERE ARE MANY NEW PEOPLE LOOKING FOR SOMEONE JUST LIKE YOU. YOU ARE THE ANSWER TO THEIR PRAYERS.
DO NOT BE FOOLISH AND KEEP CARRYING THE SINS AND MISTAKES OF THE PAST WITH YOU.
YOU WILL NEVER STAND UP TO THE STRAIN OF IT. LET GO AND LET GOD.
LET THE WIND OF THE HOLY SPIRIT BLOW THROUGH YOUR MIND AND HEART AND FEEL HIS CLEANSING POWER AS YOU LIVE YOUR NEW LIFe ONE DAY AT A TIME. NO MORE REGRETS, NO MORE DEMONS. STAY CLEAN AND SOBER IN 2010. WORK YOUR PROGRAM.
