Your inner dialogue is a reflection of how you show up in the world every day. Oftentimes, we can replay, and over-analyze thoughts and conversations all day till the point we take offense to every little thing that someone does or says because it’s being filtered through what we already feel about ourselves.
It hurts when someone pokes a wound you thought only you knew about. Take it as free therapy, that you now realize an area in your life that you need to surrender to God, that those wounds may begin to heal and that you can step into the wholeness of God.
Every compliment, every look, every conversation, there is a little part of you that questions the intent of the encounter or person. I realized that it is imperative to have a healthy inner dialogue; that you realize that you are God’s child and by faith you believe every single thing He has spoken concerning you.
You have to love and appreciate yourself as God’s beautiful creation, His special possession. I’m reminded of the bible verse in Proverbs 14:30, “A sound heart is the life of the flesh: but envy the rottenness of the bones.” A sound mind, your inner being, your seat of emotions, your memory has to begin to focus on the things that are true, above, and pure. Those gentle reminders that replay in your spirit that You are Favored, You are Fearfully and Wonderfully made, You are the Apple of God’s Eye.
You also have to realize that comparison is the thief of joy. Know that just as God has blessed others He can do the same for you. It takes you focusing on you and your life and what you already have that you begin to realize how blessed you are and that gratitude begins to open more doors of blessings in your life.
Even when situations may arise, you know that all things will work together for the good of those called unto the purpose of God. That God will use every single circumstance, every single situation, trial, tribulation, disappointment, for Your Good!
Begin to ask God to give you a calm and quiet spirit, that you are quick to listen and slow to speak. There is a lot of knowledge that comes when you are doing more listening than speaking. There are a lot of things that you will find out as well if you just let people speak. A lot of the things that you may have questions on can be answered when you are quick to listen and be teachable. Be Blessed!
