Observe and Label Your Emotions Recognize and name your emotions to gain control over them.

Understand Your Emotional Triggers Identify the situations or behaviors that provoke strong emotional responses.

Monitor Your Behavioral Patterns Notice how your emotions influence your actions and reactions.

Embrace Your Emotions Without Judgment Accept your feelings without labeling them as good or bad.

No one ever gets away with anything ever, so take responsibility of your own life.

When we pray over the sick, minister to the weak, give clothes to the needy, or care for the needs of others, we are God's hands in action. We share God's love in so many ways by reaching out to our fellow man to make their lives better. Sometimes it's a phone call, a handwritten card, a loaf of bread, or giving fresh produce from your garden. God has blessed each of us with talents, all unique and special. We can use those talents to God's honor and glory, or for selfish gain. The choice is ours. In the judgment day, will have to give an account to God as to how we use the gifts He gave us. For some, it might be helping a neighbor fix his computer that he needs in order to keep his job, or maybe it's cleaning the home of an elderly woman who just broke her leg. There are many, many ways we can use our talents to shine for Jesus. If we pray and ask God to use us in a special way, He surely will. It's called living God's word. In Matthew 25:39-41, the Bible tells us, “Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did it unto the least of these my brethren, you did it to me”. Reach out and touch someone today and be God's hands in action. Text: Hebrews 6:10, Hebrews 13:16, Galatians 6:10, Proverbs 3:27

Bible Texts:

Hebrews 6:10 KJV - For God [is] not unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love, which ye have shewed toward his name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister.

Hebrews 13:16 KJV - But to do good and to communicate forget not: for with such sacrifices God is well pleased.

Galatians 6:10 KJV - As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all [men], especially unto them who are of the household of faith.

Your lies, your excuses, your reasons. I accept that your intentions may be pure, but I do not accept the way you actioned them. I accept that you did it out of love but I do not accept that love; love laced in deceit and delusion is not love for me but for your own needs. 

You leave me with years of soft words, days of passionate kisses, hours of ecstasy. I accept those and the memories. But I do not accept your desire to keep supplying me with the same; I am not a secret, I do not shower in shame. 

You helped me clean some deep wounds and healed some too. I accept that with such gratitude and will forever remember you with a light heart. But I do not accept that you still have a pure heart or that you are offering me anything secure. 

I used to think your grand gestures, your sweet words, your love, your time in isolation of your delusions and disrespect and dodgy behaviour was enough, that I could utter daiyenu. But, no, I can’t. It is not enough. I do not accept.
