As I wake up early this morning from what was a very tiring day - TopicsExpress



          

As I wake up early this morning from what was a very tiring day yesterday, my mind begins to wander in thanksgiving as I think about how much God has taught me in my journeys over the years! There is a major difference between PRIDE and CONFIDENCE. PRIDE says: I can do everything all by myself and I dont need Gods help, let alone anyone elses... regardless of the fact that all the help I need is clearly all around me. My pride wont allow me use it and I end up delaying, losing things, or missing out on what God has already put in place for me. CONFIDENCE says: I know I am able to succeed in everything I step out to do in my life, as long as I remain humble and remember that without God... I am nothing. My help is always right at hand, but I must pay attention, respect it, and use it as it becomes available, no matter what shape or form God has sent it in. PRIDE says: I am strong and able to survive anything if I just protect myself and dont allow others to take advantage of me. Cut them loose... peace them out... forget about them and keep going. CONFIDENCE says: I am strong, yet, I am still weak. God is my protector and He wont allow others to take advantage of me if I entrust Him with every situation or circumstance in my life. When its time to cut the ties, His peace will be the head of all resolutions. PRIDE says: My intentions were never to hurt someone else, but whats done is done and I cannot change the past. I dont need to say Im sorry if I didnt mean it in the first place.... it was a mistake. CONFIDENCE says: My intentions were never meant to cause harm to someone else, and unfortunately, although I cannot change what has happened, I still need to let the person who Ive hurt that I am truly and wholeheartedly sorry for what Ive done to them or for making them feel a particular way, do what I can to make them feel better... and then I leave the mending into Gods hands. No matter whats going on or whatever has happened in your life, dont let PRIDE overpower your CONFIDENCE! The major difference between the two, places a major difference on your life and the way you choose to live. Try not to get them confused...
