To Self

Just something to keep and look at from time to time..

" We cannot be at peace with others because we are not at peace with ourselves, and we cannot
be at peace with ourselves because we are not at peace with God. "
The Trappist Monk, Thomas Merton

How to Act: Colossians 3:9-25
paraphrased.
Lie not to one another, put on bowels of mercy and kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness,
long suffering ( patience) , fore bearing one another, forgiving one another( as Christ forgave us)
put on charity ( love) let the peace of God rule in your heart, and be thankful.

When you are so down on yourself, do for you what you do for others, encourage yourself...
Look inside of who you are not at the outside...

Psalms 139
learn it by heart! God said you are wonderfully made... He knew you in your mama's womb and even before that! God loves you .

Don't let others tell you how to feel about YOU. They don't like their selves, so they need to make you unhappy too, it's a lie.... You make your own decision about happiness.

Learn to forgive YOU like you so freely forgive others.
God made you for this day not some other time but for this time... That is exciting when you really think about it... He knew you were needed for this time.

This is some things for you to think about when you are feeling down and blue.
YOU are important to GOD. It does not matter what anyone else thinks. Just remember that.
