There is only so much energy & time that we have in each day; yet, there are those moments where we direct these precious gifts in the wrong direction. Don’t get me wrong, I completely understand that the stressors of work & life exist, but there is only so much we can control.
Lately, many people I know, including myself, have been faced with the things (& people!) that can take our energy & time if we let them. The minutes of the day are ticking by & we’re focused on the people who’ve ‘done us wrong’ or that thing that keeps us up at night. BUT WHY are we giving the power to these people or occurrences that shouldn’t have the power?
How much of our time & energy should we continue to direct to this?? àZERO. Take back your thoughts, your energy, the precious moments that are ticking by that you can’t get back. Focus on the gifts that time & energy present to us! Use these in a positive manner; work on your dreams, spend time with your family & friends, change your perspective to not giving away what God has given you to anything or anyone who doesn’t deserve it.
When you find yourself handing over these gifts, grab them back!! As 2 Corinthians 10:4-5 NKJV reminds us:
So anything that directs us away from God, is taking us in the wrong direction. Our energy & time should be directed towards Him, peace, & grace.
Until next time.
