Hello friends! Continuing the subject of last week, today we will speak about when we are fleshly towards ourselves.
Previously we have talked about the importance
of knowing ourselves, knowing our qualities, but we also need to be aware of
our weaknesses so that we can be vigilant and not allow them to overpower us.
If I asked you now, who are you, define who you
are, would you know the answer?
If you can’t is because you do not know yourself
very well yet, so I leave this little task for you to look deep within, for
that makes us stronger and prepared against the devil's schemes.
But then when are we fleshly towards ourselves?
Think now:
- What are your thoughts about yourself - many
think they are worthless, inferior to others, that they are stupid, cannot do
anything right, think they are ugly, incapable, a leading zero… As you see,
they are overflowing with negative thoughts about themselves, and that is fleshly
and not pleasing to God, because that is not what He thinks of you.
- What do you say about yourself - in addition
to thinking, they only speak negatively about themselves. They are always
exposing their weaknesses and putting themselves down, even saying things like:
"I am so stupid"; "I deserve this, I do everything wrong";
"I will never have a boyfriend, I am ugly" and so on.
- The way you see yourself - this is a result
of what you think and speak about yourself, that's how you see yourself, your
thoughts and words show the way you look, it is often a look of contempt,
judgment, criticism and disaffection, this needs to change.
All you know you should not do to others you do
it against yourself and think that it is OK because it is you. But it is not
OK, that just makes you fleshly.
This shows that your relationship with yourself
is not doing well and it will also reflect on your relationship with the people
around you, because if you're not good with yourself, how can you be well with
others?
Everything comes in an order, being right with
yourself depends on you being right with God; and being well with the others
depends on those two.
Next Monday we will talk about when we are fleshly
in marriage or dating.
And you, have you been fleshly towards yourself?
