In the beginning of our marriage we knew God, but we had not yet totally committed our lives to Him. As a result of this I battled with a lot of my personal problems on my own, Now that I am able to look back over my life, I can see how much more manageable things would have been if I had used God’s word to be my guide.
First of all I failed to realize that I had married a service man who was a Military Policeman. Because of his background and training there were ways I had to get use to . In the process, however, I found out that I needed to stop being offended every time a harsh word was spoken or there was a disagreement about something. For a long time I wore my feeling on my sleeve, as the old saying goes, Once again, because of my bad reaction to his unpleasant behavior, I spent a lot of wasted time , having Pity Parties.
The Spirit of The Lord brought this to my mind , as I was talking about the spirit of self pity. If you will recall when Jesus was praying in the Garden and he asked the Father. “if it is possible. let this cup pass from me?” For the first time I realized that at that moment perhaps the spirit of self pity was attempting to lead him away from his true destiny. However he finished with this amazing response.”Never the less, not My will but Thy will be done.” So I ‘m learning that it is not God’s will for me to continue in a state of woe is me but to rise above the circumstance that cast me down. Be quick to forgive and move on.
I encourage you today to stop being pitiful and choose to be powerful through the power of the Holy Ghost! Each day I have to remind myself of Romans Chapter 8-28. “All things work together for good,for those who love God and are the called according to His purpose”.. Even on the days when things go wrong, I praise God any how!
