Ch. 74 - Raise Up

I need to stop.

Here I am, complaining every day.

When in reality I have nothing to complain about.

I have friends.
I have family.
I have God.
I am loved.
And I love.
I have education.
I have rights.
I have life.

Feeling sorry for myself gets me nowhere in life.
Feeling sorry for myself makes me selfish.
Feeling sorry for myself lets me give up.

And to me, giving up in that sense is surrendering.

I don't want to surrender.
At least not for anything, or anyone, but God.


' "Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in me." ' ... ' "You know the way to the place where I am going." '
[John 14:1,4]
