Proverbs 15:13 A glad heart makes a cheerful face, but by sorrow of the heart the spirit is crushed. ESV This makes me so sad. For so long I have been depressed. I try to pretend for the sake of my children and others, but oh how terrible to do this to my soul. I just want to cry. Why? It's absolutely unnecessary to do this to myself when the depression comes from the toxic thoughts (lies) I've been telling myself… I'm not good enough, I can't do anything, I am such a burden. Yuck!
The enemy is pleased with this kind of living. I don't want to give him the satisfaction. Too bad satan, I'm going to be cheerful and happy now, I am done believing this cacamame story and am on to living God's design for my life, and I am not sorry I am no longer your puppet!
Wow I am just SO BLESSED to be part of this community of amazing, honest and beautiful women!! I am praying for all of you and thank you for sharing your heart & God given revelations!
Have an amazing day and week!
I thank God for this devotional at this time during my life. I am really trying to be conscious of my thoughts and the words I speak.
Words are powerful and God has given them to us so that we may speak life to and build up others.
I pray that by the end of this week that the Holy Spirit will teach me all that He has for me concerning the way I use words. I pray that I will be a vessel used for the uplifting of God’s Kingdom; not tearing it and the people of Gid down. Amen.
I have, in this last year, been through the fire in my marriage. And because of this trial, I have definitely learned verse 1 “A gentle answer deflects anger”. It was without a doubt, the wisdom that saved my marriage of 32 years. Even today, I still had to remind myself of using a gentle voice to calm a customer at work, deflecting her anger. Such wisdom in those words…
Learning how to enact verse 23 “to say the right thing at the right time” would be such a blessing.
May God direct my heart in that!
Ladies of SRT, praying for you all. May wisdom continue to flow through these words, and may the light of God shine all around and in between us.
Amykelly213, prayers are lifted for you and your brother & his family. :-)
