I am sick of myself. Im sick of my story, my ongoing saga. Its time for a change. Yes, bad things have happened. Yes, its stressful at home. Yes, I feel responsible for things that I regret, right or wrong. There is guilt, there is sadness, there is fear. But this wallowing has got to stop. So, today, I am done wallowing. I am not responsible for my circumstances, I am only responsible for my attitude. So I am ditching the negative emotions. I am focusing on the fact that I am a child of God, and Jesus died on the cross to reconcile me to the Father. In that act, Jesus has washed me clean and made me holy. Not because of who I am, but because of what He's done. Not because of what Ive done, but because of who He is. My job is to shine His love into the lives of others, and to live in gratitude for my eternal salvation. Everything else is the small stuff. So, today, I am focusing on loving others. Living to glorify God. Thinking and behaving in a such a way that honors Him, and uplifts others. That is my new perspective.
