People will be People

Fortunately or unfortunately, im one of those people that try to see the best in a person even if they do me wrong over and over again. However, after a while, just with anyone, I do have a threshold and I tend to get fed up with people and their vices. No I am not perfect, neither am I God. I am not spotless or sinless. I do acknowledge that I have had the bad habit of placing far too much of my trust in people. Those people could be my family or those people could be my close friends.

I hold on so tightly that when it's time to Let Go and Let God, I have a serious problem with it. Sometimes people can be unhealthy for you, and down in your heart you know it, but you still deal with them and let them stay in your life for one reason or another instead of just letting things be, letting God do His thing, and let things work out as they may.

I am learning painfully OVER and OVER again, that people...are just people. They will hurt you, they will disappoint you, they will always misunderstand you. The only one that should ever have your complete trust, is God. And definitely trust His guidance.

I used to have the belief that when you were in a relationship or married that you should trust your spouse completely, but part of me is starting to feel that absolutely NO ONE is worth that type of trust. Dont put anything pass anyone because NO ONE is perfect, that way when the Glitter starts to fade, and you see their true colors, you aren't quite so surprised, Why? Because they are just people and people will be people.

F.E.A.R.

My mom used to always use this acrostic for "fear" when I was growing up. She always said that fear was "False Evidence Appearing Real." She also taught us this song that went "God has not given us a spirit of fear but he has given unto us, a spirit of power, a spirit of love, and a sound mind." However, it is still so easy to fear. Easier to fear than it is to actually have faith about whatever it is you fear. Fear can cause you so much trouble. It can lead you to make decisions that otherwise would not have been made. It can leave you confused and indecisive. It can rob you of your future and of your blessings.

The crux of Christianity is faith. If you possess not faith, then you cannot truly call yourself a christian. We must believe that God is all powerful, and more than able to fulfill his promises to us. That he is able to do exceedingly, abundantly, above all that we could ask or think. But we must be careful not to confuse fear with our spiritual discernment. If something is your spirit is telling you that something is wrong, then listen to it.

I have allowed fear to have FAR TOO MUCH reign over my life the past couple of years, and it's time for me to let it go and just have faith in God completely. Not just about some subjects, but all of them.
