Life is too short to wallow in self pity

Ephesians 5:17-19 (NKJV)

"Therefore do not be unwise, but understand what the will of the Lord is. And do not be drunk with wine, in which is dissipation; but be filled with the Spirit, speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord"


Pastor Phil once shared the worst thing the devil can do is to discourage you.

Failure can be a trigger for negative voices twirling in hearts and minds, distracting focus away from significant matters.

Bible said to meditate within heart in bed and be still when angry. But don't meditate till you fall asleep, the negative feelings will only hibernate for a while, but surface sooner or later.

After a million failures, you are still looking forward and never give up.

After a million failures, you are still a genius.

Be forgetful about the failures, pick out the essence, analyse it and move on.

Don't indulge in self-condemnation, this is a vicious cycle.

Transform the negative energy into positive energy, keep encouraging others and engage in meaningful activities even in the midst of negative circumstances and emotions.

Time is precious, cherish every time and chance to glorify God through fruitful works.

Lastly remember, God will honour the righteous.

This is awesome! Many times we try to forget our problems by watching more TV, or eating more or etc..

These are quick fixes that will only hibernate the problem for just awhile.

Then after it resurface, and we take te quick fixes again and again and get addicted to it.

Addicted to whatever it is. TV food cigarettes or etc.

The best way is to take the problem at the face and speak the Word of God.

It is written!
