Stop Breaking Your Own Heart

Sometimes we tend to break our own hearts and think that God allowed a person to use and abuse us. The problem is that we never involved God into the circumstance or relationship from the start. We inflict pain and heartache on ourselves and ask God why. God didn't tell you to date that man or woman. He didn't tell you to stay and put up with their drama. He didn't tell you to spend years of your life with that person, or tell you to tattoo that name. He didn't tell you to play "house" and make the relationship more than what it was. He didn't tell you to be loyal and faithful to a person who really didn't care. God didn't tell you to stay with that man after you found out about his kids, or to have the kid(s).God didn't tell you to stay after he hit you the first time. God didn't tell you to deal with their promiscuity and cheating. YOU chose to do those things! Stop breaking your own heart! Learn to leave, stop wondering if you can have better! Choose God and you will have better. Too many people stay in the wrong relationship to avoid being alone. Let it go! Move forward with your life! Everyone is TIRED of hearing you complain about the very person you'll end up taking back. Stop hurting yourself, you don't deserve it! Pay attention to the signs God is giving you, that is not God's best for you! End it! Stop playing the victim and take control of your life! Get to God and let Him get YOU together! 

You cook, clean, fight and cut off friends/family for this person that God never told you to be with in the first place. Stop giving marriage benefits to your boy/girlfriend; all that cooking, laundry and playing house. A person should earn those benefits AFTER a REAL commitment has been made, as in marriage. Don't settle for the just the engagement either,  a wedding isn't always promised after. Learn to stand your ground and hold on to your value. You can give a person everything and they will still walk out. Don't keep hurting yourself, learn to leave before you're left.  Love&Blessings!

The Story Isn't Over

Many young adults, especially around my age, are going through growing pains (including myself). We are approaching our mid to late 20's feeling as if we should have been done with this "struggle" season already. We think to ourselves, "I thought I would've been at a different place at this age" or "I can't believe I'm still at this place". Not realizing that those words can paralyze any hope of our future. We have to stop giving up on God so quickly, give Him time to do his will! You know how kids are always talking in the middle of the movie? Or reading a story and jump to conclusions on how it will end? As young adults, we do the same thing!!! Stop complaining or assuming, this is not the end of your story! Only God knows the ending, stop being so emotional; you're still in the beginning. We haven't even started living! Trials are meant to bring about change and growth. God disciplines those He loves. Decide to adopt a sense of gratitude. Instead of thinking about what you are lacking, pay attention to what God has given and give Him thanks everyday. Love God for what he has already done, and learn to be happy in your circumstances! He kept you alive, so understand that your story isn't finished yet! Keep pushing, keep fighting! The devil wants you to give up; I understand that we become weary in battle, but Jesus tells us "Come to me all who are weary, and I will give you rest" (Matthew 11:28). God is with you in your trials so call on Him. If you can't hear or feel him, keep calling! Believe without doubt that he will come near and answer. Understand that what you are going through or facing is no secret or surprise to God! Acknowledge Him and ask for help. He longs to love and bless us. You must endure to receive the crown of life. This place that you're in is only temporary!! Get out your feelings, and Get in to God's Word. The movie isn't over, and God has seen the end of your movie so let your soul rest in Him! Trust Him! To those reading this, be encouraged, be inspired. I'm here for you, I care. Don't give up. Love&Blessings -REESE😘
