Arrogance Hinders

In this world, there are many people who profess to be Born-Again Christians , but their behavior and treatment of others signifies differently.  How often have you witnessed or experienced a situation , where a self-professing Christian belittles , gossips about, or discusses their despise for another person instead of confidentially confronting them as the Bible commands?   Matthew 18:15 states, “Moreover, if your brother commits a sin against you, go and show him his fault — but privately, just between the two of you. If he listens to you, you have won back your brother. "

Often, there will be people who bully , persecute, and stir up controversy...and then concoct scenarios where they avoid  direct , personal contact with the they hurt and offended, but will fabricate information to make it appear as if they're the victim of another's actions...rather than truthfully expose their motives and agenda to start a personal public relations campaign to promote their fabricated spirituality and fake genuineness. You may be asking yourself , "What causes a person to live hypocritically ?"  Well, usually it's foolish pride. They're too ashamed to admit their weaknesses and expose their faults, so they attempt to cover them up by trying to expose faults that truly don't exist in another person...or use someone else as a scapegoat to appear stronger than them.

Arrogance and pride—distinguishing marks in the wicked— are just plain sin. (Proverbs 21:4 MSG)

Whenever you're in a situation involving people like that, the best things to do are to pray for them  and stay on Christ's level by remaining peaceful, amicable, and a blessing towards them. 

 Nevertheless, to you who are listening, what I say is this:“Love your enemies!Do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you,pray for those who mistreat you.  -Luke 6:27-28

May your relationships be blessed with the favor and restoration of Jesus Christ, and if reconciliation is necessary in any of them...may His boldness saturate you & fill you to lovingly & peacefully talk to them. GOD bless you & keep you always ! - Erika Seaborn💗❤💗

For who do you know that really knows you, knows your heart? And even if they did, is there anything they would discover in you that you could take credit for? Isn't everything you have and everything you are sheer gifts from God? So what's the point of all this comparing and competing? You already have all you need. You already have more access to God than you can handle. Without bringing either Apollos or me into it, you're sitting on top of the world—at least God's world—and we're right there, sitting alongside you! (1 Corinthians 4:7, 8 MSG)💗ღ💗

Knowing what to say isn't hard. It's having the courage to say it...#Evonika❤ღ❤

Sometimes things don't work out for you, because the people involved aren't really for you. G̲O̲D̲_h̲a̲s̲_b̲e̲t̲t̲e̲r̲_p̲l̲a̲n̲s̲_w̲i̲t̲h̲_b̲e̲t̲t̲e̲r̲_a̲s̲s̲o̲c̲i̲a̲t̲i̲o̲n̲s̲! #Evonika❤ღ❤.

Our days on earth are like grass; like wildflowers, we bloom and die. The wind blows, and we are gone— as though we had never been here. But the love of the Lord remains forever with those who fear him. His salvation extends to the children’s children of those who are faithful to his covenant, of those who obey his commandments! (Psalms 103:15-18 NLT)♥ღ♥

A Woman is Like a Rose...

Don't fret or worry. Instead of worrying, pray. Let petitions and praises shape your worries into prayers, letting God know your concerns. Before you know it, a sense of God's wholeness, everything coming together for good, will come and settle you down. It's wonderful what happens when Christ displaces worry at the center of your life. (Philippians 4:6, 7 MSG)❤ღ❤

The false pretense of your mood cannot disguise the conscious choice of your attitude. #Evonika❤ღ❤

Never forget: every crisis you face is a GOD-given opportunity to rediscover Christ in a B̲̲o̲̲l̲̲d̲̲ new way❣ #Evonika❤ღ❤

Like a cool drink of water when you're worn out and weary is a letter from a long-lost friend. (Proverbs 25:25 MSG)❤ღ❤

Restoration & Redemption

If you leave anything by itself , it'll decay...age ...decay .  Everything in this world is degenerating because of sin , and this is not what GOD initially intended for us.  This world is in a decaying mode.  It is collapsing and groaning.  This is not the world GOD destined for us.

The Father's dream for us, is to be healthy.  GOD never meant for man to die.  

1 Corinthians 15:53-54:  For this material which can decay must be clothed with imperishability, this which is mortal must be clothed with immortality. When what decays puts on imperishability and what is mortal puts on immortality, then this passage in the Tanakh will be fulfilled:“Death is swallowed up in victory. 

John 10:17-18:  “This is why the Father loves me: because I lay down my life — in order to take it up again! No one takes it away from me; on the contrary, I lay it down of my own free will. I have the power to lay it down, and I have the power to take it up again. This is what my Father commanded me to do.” 

Know this, there is no insignificant detail in the bible!  Why?!  Because GOD wants you to know that Jesus has redeemed you from being stolen!  Be it from the right or the left!  If anything has been stolen from you, it can be redeemed, because Jesus' blood redeemed all things!  ❤ღ❤

Don't mix bad words with your bad mood. You'll have many opportunities to change a mood, but you'll never get the opportunity to replace the words you spoke.

If Only They Knew

People tend to minimize their verbal attacks on others. I, as a living witness, have experienced the taunts and other forms of verbal abuse that so many in this world have.

What we say, leaves lasting impressions in the souls of others...

If Only They Knew....would they have bombarded you with countless verbal assaults? Maybe not....but, we'll never know, because we don't have the power to see into the hearts of others, BUT we do have the power to touch and reach the hearts of others, courtesy of the free will GOD granted us. The power of life and death are in the tongue, and how we use it ...is our responsibility, which we are held accountable for eternity.

If they knew, would they consider the eternal consequences of the words that flow out of their mouths? Suffice it to say, maybe some wouldn't care...but, regardless, we're not responsible for what they say and do...we're only accountable for what we say, do, and think. Let's not give life to those verbal assaults, lets annihilate them with kindness, peace, and joy as much as we able!♥

For living this life,I am grateful for GOD loving me & for always being faithful to HIS Word & collecting my tears♥

In life, people will advise you of what they think you should do based upon opinion, but GOD directs us based on truth! ♥
