Struggling Positivity

Lately I’ve been fraught by fiscal responsibilities, seemingly a one-woman game. Not so long ago I began to recognize the ‘love of giving’ instead of delighting every opportunity as a ‘responsibility’. You see if every time that a sensitive person stumble upon an opportunity to help that eventually became an obligation with no chance of support system or encouragement from others could wear you out in time. I can say that I’m a type who likes to help and wants to be acknowledged. However, I realized that these shouldn’t be the case (Matthew 6:1-4).

I was rebuked by these words and that God has been faithfully providing to my needs. He continuously blesses me in the face of my stubbornness and failure to trust Him in every situation. The people I care most were laid up because of my anger and foolishness. Regret and guilt is now on the edge. I take hold of the fact that I should continuously fasten and remind myself of His words to impede from what is unrighteous.

As Rick Warren says “Every problem is a character-building opportunity, and the more difficult it is, the greater the potential for building spiritual muscle and moral fiber. What happens outwardly in your life is not as important as what happens inside you. Your circumstances are temporary, but your character will last forever.”

God has sent me two people who reminded me to stand firm and have faith in every situation.
