Default Talk to Yourself the Right Way

Talk to Yourself the Right Way
TODAY’S SCRIPTURE
“I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.”
(Philippians 4:13, NKJV)
TODAY’S WORD from Joel and Victoria

In scripture, Paul had been through a lot of trials. He had been shipwrecked, spent the night on an open sea, and gone days without food. He was falsely accused, beaten with rods, and thrown into prison. If anyone had a right, at least in the natural, to be negative, bitter or complain, it would have been Paul. But his attitude was, “I can handle it. I am ready for and equal to it. Why? Because Almighty God, the Creator of the universe has infused me with strength. He has equipped me, empowered me, anointed me, crowned me with favor, put royal blood in my veins, and called me to reign in life as a king.”

In difficult times, like Paul, you’ve got to talk to yourself the right way. If you don’t talk to yourself, your thoughts will talk to you. Don’t let the negative, self-defeating thoughts play in your mind. Instead, declare that you are more than a conqueror, and you will boldly embrace the life of victory God has in store for you!
A PRAYER FOR TODAY
Father, thank You for equipping and empowering me for victory in this life. Instead of letting my thoughts drag me down, I’ll let Your word build me up! I will declare Your truth that sets me free all the days of my life in Jesus’ name! Amen.

Love this. It took a long time to recognize the full extent of my self-abuse. If anyone else had talked to me the way I talked to myself, there would have been war or I would have just internalized it and carried around a load of hurt and resentment.

I could give to others, because it took me out of myself. I didn`t have to look at me. I couldn`t give to myself because I didn`t like or love myself, and didn`t know that the care I gave others was also meant for me too. How can you love someone who you call stupid, dumb, idiot, and a lot of other nasty names.

When I came into recovery, I heard old-timers referring to sponsees as pigeons. I found it an abusive word. Pigeons are takers, dirty, intrusive, and a lot more, just the way I acted when I was in active addiction, but in recovery I had abused myself long enough and didn`t take kindly to being called something that I found to be demoralizing.
