BITTER OR BETTER

There are times in our lives when the right words spoken at the right moment can transform us. They challenge us at a crossroads, carry us through times of sorrow or dare us to action. Why is it as women we struggle with our silent talk to ourselves about ourselves?

Whenever something hurts us in life, we have a choice to make. Whenever we feel we are up against a brick wall, we have a choice to make. We can become BITTER OR BETTER.

If you've gone through feelings of depression because of circumstances, if someone has hurt you or been taken from you, or if life has just dealt you a bad card, you are still in charge of our choices. We KNOW God is in control, we KNOW He cares, we KNOW he fights our battles, we KNOW He is in charge and has our best interests, we KNOW He has a plan for our lives, we KNOW He has not given us the Spirit of Fear, but of Power, Love and a Sound Mind, and we KNOW all things work for good to those who love God.

Keep in mind "this is Plan A for your life". Too many times we believe we've failed the test, we made a bad mistake, but never forget "This is Plan A". If we get our minds off of ourselves and onto our Source, we can make it. Wherever you are right now, whatever state you are in, you have a choice to make becoming BITTER OR BETTER. You can be satisfied with being bound in chains or you can get out and JUST GET STARTED!

I want to encourage you to pray to God, read and obey the Word, and seek friendship with those who will be an encouragement. There is an old song that says: "WE LIVE OUR LIVES IN CHAINS, AND WE NEVER EVEN KNOW WE HAVE THE KEY." Our choice is to stay bound up in ourselves, or release the chains that are binding.

Love,

Sharon
