We all have our moments of weakness. We all possess potentially self-destructive tendencies. It comes with being born imperfect. There are times when the world can feel like it is falling apart around us, like every step forward results in two steps back. One thing I have discovered when grieved with various trials is that the ability to overcome them involves our perspective. We often set ourselves up for failure. The manifestation of self-doubt and insecurity inevitably lead to making excuses for why we cannot rise above our current circumstances.
No matter what you have had to experience in your life, at the end of the day, you are the only one accountable for your actions. Jehovah gave us the gift of free will. Every decision we make has a consequence. Personally, I need to be determined not to let a negative attitude pull me down into sinful condition. I am stronger than I give myself credit for. I may have lost a few battles but that doesn’t mean I’ve lost the war.
Love can be blind. The heart is treacherous. I refuse to settle. I deserve someone who shares my love for Jehovah, and wants to serve him along side me whole-souled. Someone who will help me reach my future goals. I will not continue to be ruled by my fickle emotions.
Even the strong stumble and fall down sometimes. The important thing is that we always get back up and move forward.
