God is AWESOME!!!

You know sometimes life can just get a hold of you and people can try to tear you down and your relationship with others. People come at you in all directions, doing everything they can to make your life difficult and painful. What hurts me the most is when the people who do this are "CHRISTIANS". That is what really blows my mind. I wonder what Bible are they reading because I know mine says not to do the things that they are doing. Yes, I know that nobody is perfect and we all slip up and make mistakes, but years and years of doing the same thing you have to stop and wonder what their motive is behind the maddess they try to create. It is during that time, I just stop and ask God to protect me from the evil ones and help them see that their ways are wrong. I also pray that God show me areas that I need to change and improve as well. We are to love one another and respect each other, but how we forget to do that when we become angry. Our words are powerful and we really need to watch what we say when we are mad and upset. I know it is hard to do that when people are always trying to pull your family apart or just you as an individual. But that is where boundaries are so important, if it is our family that does this to us, we can still love them, but a distance. Friendships?? well, you have to decide if it is a healthy one or not. We can not divorce our families but we can make boundaries when it comes to them. I have seen and learned over the years that just because we are in church everytime the doors open, does not mean we are living our lives according to the word of God. You can go to counsel all your life but if you do not apply what you learn you will not get healed. Some people still hold grudges about others and still have so much anger towards them and that past relationship. You need to let those things go and let God heal those old wounds, so that you can move forward in God's peace and perfect will for your life.
