I HATE being pessimistic. But lately those negative thoughts seem to be blaringly louder than anything else I hear. It is so frustrating for this "glass half full girl" to not be able to deal with the negativity. This is something I have never struggled with. I am always the positive one, the encourager, the joyful one. But for some reason, Satan is really getting to me lately. He picks & prauds until I can't take anymore & I feel like I just want to scream,( but I don't cuss(rarely-anyway)) so I usually just end up in tears of frustration to get it all out! After the tears have stopped, I compose myself & try to seek some encouragement! Sometimes that is just by opening the Scripture & camping out in the Book of Psalms for awhile & sometimes it is finding just the right song to listen to..which usually leads me to Scripture.
This song, I heard a couple of weeks ago & I LOVE IT!!! It was just what I needed to hear today(and lots of days, actually)
4 You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world. (1 John 4:4)
14 This is why it is said:
“Wake up, sleeper,
rise from the dead,
and Christ will shine on you.” (Ephesians 5:14)
Such great reminders :)
