Another Bad Day


We all have days where we feel like the world is against us.  We start to feel unappreciated, unloved, and unwanted. Just because you have a bad day - as it seems like mine has gone - doesn't mean it will always be that way. There will be a better day.
I watched this (somewhat humorous) video and it put things back into perspective for me.

I am reminded that I am not alone...and things could be so much worse. 
 We must remember not to listen to the lies of negativity!  
Do not fall into the traps of the enemy!  
So someone is lying to you or about you…YES, it hurts.  Or, that person whom you love and would do anything for them doesn't reciprocate that gesture of kindness and respect.

 The Word of God says to:
"Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;"
(Matthew 5:44)

 Also:
"Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.”
(Luke 6:38)

I encourage you to also listen to the Youtube video below.
It is a reminder to each of us that God is always by our side, no matter what is going on around us. 
(I need that reminder alot lately!)

May you feel God's love and grace surround you today...especially if it has been a bad one!!

      Yes, Betty. That familiar saying is so true, even though we may feel at the time that it may not pass, it does. Definitly check out Tenth Avenue North...they have some awesome music!

    Great post. Good reminder that a bad day isn't a bad life. And Christ had the ultimate bad day and changed our lives for the better. Thank you!

      Amen!! When I think of what many people go through daily in their lives, my day looks pretty good! Perspective can change everything, if we look around us! The reminder of Christ's death makes it even clearer!!

    I always feel so bad for those videos showing bad days for some people. I am so glad that God can turn our bad days around and bring us his comfort and peace and even His JOY. Thank you for sharing with us here at Tell me a Story.

    I try to remember that each bad day will pass. Things will get better...God has plan! Plus, without the valleys, the view fom the mountains wouldn't seem so beautiful!

    Blessings, Joan

Advent(Dec. 9): Surprise Gifts

  Now Israel  loved Joseph more than any of his other sons,  because he had been born to him in his old age;  and he made an ornate   robe  for him.   When his brothers saw that their father loved him more than any of them, they hated him  and could not speak a kind word to him. When Joseph’s brothers saw that their father was dead, they said, “What if Joseph holds a grudge  against us and pays us back for all the wrongs we did to him?”   So they sent word to Joseph, saying, “Your father left these instructions  before he died:   ‘This is what you are to say to Joseph: I ask you to forgive your brothers the sins  and the wrongs they committed in treating you so badly.’  Now please forgive the sins of the servants of the God of your father. ” When their message came to him, Joseph wept. But Joseph said to them, “Don’t be afraid. Am I in the place of God?   You intended to harm me,  but God intended ...

Burn The Ships

The beginning of a New Year often has us looking back and seeing how God has walked with us in the past and contemplating the year ahead .  We tend to want to hold on to the familiar, the easier path, the old ways....but these often become unhealthy, and even dangerous for us to continue down some paths/have relationships with some people in our lives. When we become aware of these different paths/people in our lives that can hinder/harm us, we may need to "rise from the dust and walk away".  "Burning the Ships" can be SO difficult(maybe even excruciating.)  I don't know about you, but FEAR often has kept me from burning the ships and moving ahead. Fear of rejection, fear of what others will think, fear of being alone, fear of not knowing the future. But, God reminds us that He will never leave us, nor forsake us. He is our source of strength. And He holds the future and will take care of us!! “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageou...
