Shop Nu Learn to love yourself : Developing a Healthy Self-image – Costa Mitchell

Beschrijving

One of the regular €œreality checks’€ we need, is to ask, “€œWhat am I here for?€

We must measure our time and energy expenditure against this. In other words, ask, €œIs what I am doing now, or am about to do in the next hour, leading to the fulfillment of the one thing for which God created me?€

Consistently in the Bible, we see examples of people who knew that everything hinges on the “”€˜one thing”€™ and that to miss it makes everything else meaningless.

Here are a couple of good questions to ask when getting focused.

• If everything you did was taken away from you one by one, what would you hold on to longest? What constitutes your “€œfinish line”€ (II Tim 4:7)?
• What would you like said on your gravestone? And, what gives you joy and life when you are doing it (John 15:7-11)?

Humility…three things we must do

• Deal with bitterness. God doesn’€™t owe you anything, including success. Let go of any feelings of entitlement or disappointment.
• Develop your secret history with God. Prayer and hearing God in secret is an important discipline.
• Be quick to hear. What is the last instruction you heard from the Lord? Are you obeying it?
