Are You Lying to Yourself?

When we act like everything in our life is perfect, especially to our friends, we're not just putting up a front for them. We're also telling ourselves that we're not good enough as we are. If we really felt good about ourselves, we'd be okay with sharing our true selves, including our weaknesses and mistakes. But often, we feel we're not good enough, so we try to show a better version of ourselves. This can actually make us feel worse about ourselves.

Heaven's Grocery Store

 



I was walking down life's highway a long time ago. 

One day I saw a sign that read Heaven's Grocery Store. 

As I got a little closer, the door came open wide, 

And when I came to myself, I was standing inside.

 

I saw a host of angels; they were standing everywhere. 

And one angel said, "My child shop with care." 

Everything a Christian needed was in that grocery store. 

And all you couldn't carry you could come back the next day for more.

 

First, I got some patience, love was in the same row. 

Further down was understanding, you need that everywhere you go. 

I got a box or two of wisdom, a bag or two of faith. 

I just couldn't miss the Holy Spirit for He was all over the place.

 

I stopped to get some strength and courage to help me run the race. 

By then my basket was getting full, but I remembered I needed some grace. 


I didn't forget salvation, for salvation that was free. 

So, I tried to get enough of that to save you and me. 


Then I went to the counter to pay my grocery bill. 

For I thought I had everything to do my Master's will. 


As I went up the aisle, I saw prayer and just had to put that in. 

For I knew when I stepped outside, I would run right into sin. 


Peace and joy were plentiful, they were on the last shelf. 

Song and praises were hanging near so I instead helped myself. 


Then, I said now how much do I owe? 

He just smiled and said, Just take them everywhere you go. 


How much do I really owe? 

He smiled and said, My child, Jesus paid your bill a long time ago.

So if it's not all right, then it is not yet the end." ~ Sonny  _*-*_*-*_ I love this quote from when their friend died ... and it was his last request to die in India in the presence of his one true love.  "Is it our friend we are grieving for,  whose life we knew so little or is it our own loss that we are mourning?  Have we travelled far enough that we can allow our tears to fall?"  ~Evelyn  "When someone dies, you think about your own life" ~Madge  _*-*_*-*_ about living in India  "The way people see life as a privilege and not as a right"  ~The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel _*-*_*-*_ Above all, I love the ending line of Evelyn as the movie comes to a conclusion  "The only real f...

My internal dialog no longer focuses on my weaknesses. Instead, it focuses on my strengths. I frequently remind myself that I can handle more than I bare.
