Motivational Monday :)

On this day, God wants you to know...

... that your love is a gift to the world. Let your love radiate out to all you meet. Let your love touch the hearts of people you don't even know. Let your love reach to the far corners of the earth. Love is what is saving the world.

 

So on facebook, there is an app called "Message from God"   I have been given grief about the likelihood of God speaking to us through the internet these days.... but I LOVE the app.  And you can't TELL me that if God needs to remind you of something, he will not use whatever means necessary. 

I can't tell you how many times this tiny little message sent to my facebook page has put a smile on my face, given me something inspirational to focus on & just plain hit the nail on the head.

 

Last week was kinda tough for me.  (see previous blog)  

But I had a really good weekend and realized I was letting myself focus on the WRONG THINGS. 

THEN - this morning - I got this sweet little message on facebook.

And I remembered that God does give gifts and HE uses those gifts to His glory not our own.

You see, I didn't feel as though my gifts from God included TEACHING or PUBLIC SPEAKING.....

{insert self doubt and second guessing myself here.....}

BUT - I do believe God gave me an uncanny ability to SHARE, RELATE & LOVE (no matter what)!!!!!!

...these are the gifts I use for Him.

I have always said God gave me a heart bigger than I deserve.  I may be hard to get to know.... and I have walls like you wouldn't believe.  But the thing with me is.... once your are in....  YOU ARE IN!  I may get mad, I may get my feelings hurt... but I can never un-love you.  I think I have shared this before... no matter HOW bad I have been hurt, years later a person could come to me needing something and I'm there.  That used to drive me crazy, but at the same time...I am soooo thankful for that gift.

 

To the world you may just be one person, but to one person you might just be the world.

You just never know when someone is depending on YOU to make a difference.

 

So I am starting my week with a new focus on life.  God is using me in sooo many ways and its time I start being thankful for that and know that no matter what bumps I go over down the road, there is a bigger plan than I can see  =)

 

Start your week today, on the dreaded MONDAY, with a new outlook on life!  Remember when you get up each day to be thankful for all the GOOD things in your life!

I have soooooo much good in my life, why in the world would I want to get caught up and pulled down by technicalities?!!

 

What are your gifts that you can be thankful for? 

and are you using them or just storing them on a shelf for a special occassion???!!  =)

 

PS - thanks sooooooooooo much for all the kind words after my breakdown blog on Friday.  I got prayers and encouragement from all over the world. 

THAT my friends is an AMAZING thing  =)
