This is my first post - EVER! I thought it best to say what is ALWAYS paramount on my mind... Jesus wants me to serve Others. That is what He wants you to do too. Our minds and bodies were made for this.
If you don't believe me - Well consider the phlebotomist at your local blood bank ( which I hope you do visit every so often ), who always tells you to look away so you don't see the needle coming. Why does she/he do that? To take your mind off of YOU and spare you some pain. .. Another example, please do not try this at home.. but if you hit your thumb with the hammer while trying to put up a picture, there is a way to diminish that pain.. Let the life size picture of your entire family including the dog and cat, built with a heavy frame slip from your fingers and hit your big toe.. GREAT! Now you'll forget about the pain in your thumb.
It is called, Redirecting Your Focus, of course not back to yourself but to Jesus and his plan for you. The plans to prosper you and not to harm you. Remember those plans? What happens is that people forget Jesus' definition of Prosperity. To put it simple: Its not all about you!
If you have ever been lonely (like I have been), depressed (like I have been), angry ( I do this one to often - just have to remember not to sin), frustrated (almost every weekday - especially Mondays), sad ( because I miss my mother sooooooooooooooo much - although she now walks streets of gold), felt abandoned, abused, neglected, taken for granted, ignored, insulted, constrained, belittled, beaten down.. you put the word that best fits your situation, then My Sister, My Brother .. GO FEED GODS CHILDREN ! With your words, your wealth, your talents, your prayers.
YOU HAVE SOMETHING TO GIVE. I PROMISE! How do I know this? Because you don't need sight to speak Gods words, you don't need wealth to sit with someone in pain, you don't need hands or knees to pray for others, you don't need a loud voice to write a letter to someone in jail, you don't need feet to sing a song of encouragement. Whatever you don't have - you don't need it to accomplish what your Heavenly Father created you for.. just go.. say here I am.. and redirect your focus.
