Encouragement

Tonight I was encouraged at my young adults group to do 2 things
1. To encourage myself
2. Encourage others.

This means I have to discard the negative and to look for the good. It's so easy to just be negative and look at the bad. Instead I need to grow and focus on the good. Also its easy to be down on myself instead I need to think okay that was bad and try and learn from what I did and not do that next time.

Lord help me to think and to look for good things and to grow in this area and to pray for the bad that it was be improved to be something good instead. Amen

What are people really afraid of?

Fear often causes walls to go up. It creates discoloured outlooks on life. It restricts. So why do I let it control me. Cause to face my fears so I've been told by Lisa Bevere makes me fearless. God wants me too face my fears so that I can grow and live. Cause its better to live so the preacher doesn't have to lie at my funeral (Peter Irvine).

Fear makes me lie and i'm a terrible liar and it makes me feel worse. God help me to break free of these chains and not to keep putting it off.
