The disappointment

-
Hey👋🏽,

There's feeling disappointed, and then there's the feeling of being the disappointment. 

Well, I'm going to be talking about the latter -  The feeling of being a disappointment. I sat down with myself this evening and had a very deep thought on it, and I came to understand that this feeling isn't something to sweep under the carpet. It doesn't just go away, and somehow it starts to shape your life. 
Developing low self-esteem, setting pretty mid-level achievements for yourself because you feel you're not that type of "excellent".

So, I went looking around for write-ups on this kind of topic because I'm not an expert at dealing with it. How do we deal with feeling like a disappointment?

1. I believe we should check for the source. What's getting to you? Who is making you feel like that? It's a kind of understanding that when you want to solve something, you start from the root.
2. Who do you want to talk to about it?
 Well, I recommend Jesus... it's a nice, free session with someone who can actually help and not just support your feelings.

One thing I gained from the write-up (from you version by the way) was that Jesus is there with you in that disappointment, in that feeling and that there's hope. I came to understand that the opposite of disappointment is hope. Now, you're not going to take that disappointment and let it ruminate in your life; you're going to take hope that there's something beautiful with your name on it and hold on to it like your life depends on it.

You are not a disappointment. You are a beautiful artwork of the Father; He made no mistakes about you, not before, not now, not ever. You are loved. 
So what if you made mistakes; what if you're not perfect? It doesn't change the fact that the most important person in everything is concerned about everything about you.

King David, a man after God's heart, yet the father to a divided home, convicted of adultery and murder. If you're outstanded by why God, this perfect being, is interested in you, well, David beat you to that thought. 

Psalms 8:4 NIV
[4] what is mankind that you are mindful of them, human beings that you care for them?

He doesn't make your concerns invalid or your fears and sadness a joke. He makes you see that there's joy, a joy that overtakes sorrow. He is going to walk you through any and everything you could be going through and feeling. Oh my, is that healing on the way? Yes, it is 🤍.

You're going to look back and see God in it. Just hold His hands and abide in Him. Let me hold your hands and let you know that what God called beautiful; good, no man can call otherwise.

Have a beautiful week; do remember to talk to your Father in Heaven.

Your accountability partner in Christ, Gloria ✨️ 
Shalom💫

Side character?

-
Hey👋🏽, Right now, I'm really wishing this was a voice note or a video because there's a kind of excitement within me as I type.  I was reading the book of Esther and I noticed something. There was a character that is sidelined to the supporting character. Was that an error? You see, this is the Bible, and errors don't exist in its arrangement, message, or authors. Whenever we reference the book of Esther, our main focus is usually Queen Esther herself, but let's defer into Mordecai, the queen's cousin. He was actually the first person to be named in that book between him and Esther. Now, I'm not here to be building a conspiracy theory.... but I've come to understand that every name, every creature in the Bible has a purpose. The King needed a Queen, Mordecai had the chosen one in his house.  The King was troubled and had no rest; a book containing a forgotten good deed of Mordecai was read to him.  The King needed advice on how to honour Mordecai, and woul...

Surely God's goodness....

Hey👋🏿, Psalm 23:6 KJV‬ [6] Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: And I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever. A prayer to end the Psalms of a sheep who is content with it's shepherd.  We've followed the sheep lore all the way from where he introduced the Lord as his Shepherd, told us the good and loving deeds, made us understand he had no fears or worries and that he carries an anointing that overflows from it's cup.   And now he claims the goodness and mercy of his Shepherd (some translations say, "Surely His goodness and mercy....") We've come into the New year by God's grace and I encourage us to claim this prayer as simple as it is. Goodness of a good God, His mercies that endureth forever. May God's goodness and mercy follow us not just in this new year but all the days of our lives and we will dwell in the House of the Lord forever and ever, Amen. A few verses to carry into this new year; ‭Habakkuk 3:18 NIV‬ ...

A heart of thanksgiving

-
Hey👋🏿, Gratitude a key word in living a life that glorifies God.  Man was created for God's pleasure and if you're looking for purpose.. here it is.  This topic was coined from the topic treated in my church where the woman who taught took us down the memory lane and showed us the necessity of saying thank you in all situations and not just when you feel comfortable.  Someone could be going through worse.  Jesus said surely you'd have trouble in this world. I believe Thanksgiving is a child of God's approach to situations that are not exactly pleasant. Jesus said in all things give thanks. Do not be anxious for anything. One thing that stuck to me when I was reading this King Jehoshaphat story more carefully, my version let's me know that King Jehoshaphat wasn't instructed to sing and dance. He was told that the victory has been given to him already, he was going to march into victory. But he didn't just go there to witness, he went with Thanksgiving in hi...
