Good Morning My Beautiful Link Sisters
I hope that you had an awesome weekend and your week is off to an amazing start.
I was thinking about a lot of things this morning and I read a note that I wrote to myself and it is “The best place to begin is within.” I realize that this can be difficult, especially when I am frustrated about what is going on around me. Sometimes it’s within my family. Sometimes it’s on my job. Sometimes there are negative issues or most especially things that are happening that I don’t necessarily agree with. I realize now that when I am frustrated, angry and I try to determine what the origin of the issue is, I simply need to begin within. I need to look at myself evaluate the issue and ask myself, what role did I play in this situation? Maybe all of you are already really good at beginning within. I have definitely matured in this area but there I still have to work on myself.
We have to learn to work on ourselves before we can even think about criticizing or working on others. I know it is easier said than done but just think about it. Think about the times that someone has said something to you that you did not like and you “flew off the handle.” As embarrassing as it can be, I have had to admit that I took something the wrong way or that I just did not hear it correctly.
Let’s not be quick to anger and instead conduct a self-inventory before we blame others and before we get angry. Sisters, in all difficult and trying situations, let’s look at the lady in the mirror and really self-evaluate. It will help us with handling situations the right way and the Godly way. So let’s take a look at ourselves first. When we begin within the corrections we make internally will reflect through our beauty and boldness.
Today’s Personal Prayer: Dear Lord I thank you for this day. I thank you for waking me up this morning and allowing me to serve you through this great organization. Lord help me to always take inventory of myself before I point out the flaws in others. When troubles arise in my life, help me to always remember to look at the woman in the mirror and help me to seek and follow your guidance in every situation. Even when others cause or contribute to my troubles or issues, help me to always seek you and forgive them. Help me to handle all situations in the manner that you would have me to. Lord, I love you and I will magnify your name. In your precious son, Jesus’ name. Amen.
Today’s Scriptures: “Do to others as you would have them do to you.” Luke 6:31 King James
“Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye?Matthew 7:3 King James
