GOOD MORNING/AFTERNOON/EVENING FB Friends/Family. The Action today: KNOW YOU’RE NOT ALONE. We are Always SURROUNDED by PEOPLE. They may be FAMILY, FRIENDS, NEIGHBORS, COWORKERS, or STRANGERS. EACH has a PURPOSE in this LIFE. EACH has a ROLE that they must FULFILL. EACH has a DESIRE and DREAM for the FUTURE. EACH has the HOPE that they have the SUPPORT of those AROUND them. EACH may INTERACT with us, in a POSITIVE or NEGATIVE MANNER; but we must REMEMBER that it is our RESPONSE, to this INTERACTION, that DETERMINES our GROWTH. SOMETIMES, when we ENCOUNTER NEGATIVE SITUATIONS or PEOPLE, it CAUSES us to INTERACT NEGATIVELY with OTHERS. We THINK that the NEXT person will be as NEGATIVE and HURTFUL as the PREVIOUS one. We THINK that it isn’t WORTH LOOKING for GOOD; or the GOOD in people; since we ENCOUNTERED so many BAD ones. We THINK it isn’t WORTH LOOKING for LOVE; since our HEARTS are FULL of HATE. We THINK that JOY is IMPOSSIBLE, since our HEARTS are FULL of SORROW. We are ‘REFUSERS’ by NATURE. We REFUSE to LOSE; therefore, we REFRAIN from the COMPETITION. We REFUSE to be HURT; so we SURROUND ourselves with an IMPERMEABLE WALL. This WALL ENCLOSES our HEARTS from HURT. This WALL PROTECTS us from BEING HURT. This WALL PROTECTS us from OTHERS that TRY to USE us. UNFORTUNATELY, this WALL PREVENTS us from EXPERIENCING all that LIFE has to OFFER. We WANT PEACE; but we don’t WANT to ENDURE the CHAOS, TROUBLE, and TURMOIL; which PRECEDES it. We WANT SUCCESS; but we don’t WANT to STRUGGLE. We WANT GOD; but for SOME REASON or ANOTHER, we DISTANCED ourselves from HIM. GOD LOVES us UNCONDITIONALLY. HE isn’t CONCERNED with what we TALK about; as LONG as, HE is SOMEWHERE in the CONVERSATION. HE isn’t CONCERNED about the NUMBER of TIMES we FALL; as LONG as, we GET back UP, AGAIN. HE isn’t CONCERNED about whether we WIN the RACE; as LONG as, WE CALLED upon HIM to RENEW our STRENGTH. HE isn’t CONCERNED about the GOSSIP; since HE KNOWS the TRUTH about us, and will REVEAL it in DUE TIME. LOOK at your LIFE, RIGHT NOW. It MAY or MAY NOT be what you EXPECTED it to be. You’ve DEALT with SITUATIONS that you had no BUSINESS DEALING with; but you DID it, ANYWAY. You’ve ENCOUNTERED people that were not the BEST for you. You’ve LET your DREAMS die; because you FAILED to REALIZE that they can become REALITY. You’ve FORGOTTEN who you are; while STRUGGLING to REMEMBER WHOSE you are. You WANT JOY; but your HEART is FULL of SORROW and PAIN. You WANT PEACE; but you’ve gotten TIRED of the CHAOS; but REMEMBER that GOD is THERE. HE is THERE; even when your FRIENDS DISTANCE themselves from you. HE is THERE; even when you don’t KNOW which way to TURN. HE is THERE; even when you FEEL you CANNOT MAKE it. Yes, you’ve been TESTED; but you will have a TESTIMONY to SHARE. Yes, you’ve had TRIALS; but you will have TRIUMPHS. Yes, you’ve had STORMS; but GOD will PROVIDE RAINBOWS. Yes, your FRIENDS will CONTINUE to UN-FRIEND you; but they were NEVER your FRIENDS, anyway. KNOW your CIRCLE; because there are WOLVES in SHEEP’S SKIN. You CANNOT GIVE UP; even when things get out of CONTROL. You CANNOT GIVE IN; even when TEMPTATION is PRESENT. You MUST KEEP going; even when you are WEARY. GOD isn’t CONCERNED about the MONEY in your POCKET; since HIS GRACE is SUFFICIENT for you. HE isn’t CONCERNED with whether you will be a SUCCESS; but you will have SUCCESS in HIM. GOD is THERE; even if you FEEL like an OUTCAST. HE is and ALWAYS will be THERE; so you will KNOW YOU’RE NOT ALONE. In the QUIETNESS and STILLNESS of the NIGHT; GOD SPEAKS to your SOUL and AWAKENS your PURPOSE SEED…PROCEED.-Tanya Hockaday (Words of Wisdom Collection)
