"Give yourself permission to serve God with joy and with gladness. You're getting too heavy. Sometimes we obsess over everything, we gripe and complain about everything. Everything is a problem; everything is a crisis. Just chill! We let the devil put any foot in the door to rob us of what God has for us."
- Pastor Jonathan Miller
I think sometimes we create issues for ourselves by not knowing when to drop people, situations and things that weigh us down. The other night when I heard this statement, it resounded with me. We are a key factor in our own enjoyment in life! Why do we find it too easy to inconvenience ourselves for others who don't necessarily have our best interest at heart? Why is it so hard for us to move on? Why do we insist on turning a mole hill into a mountain? Why do we look for things to go wrong? As stated above, this is a ploy of the enemy and many times we fall right into his trap.
Lighten up and experience the fullness of God's joy. Be yourself and do you as long as you remain in God's will.
Awesome word!
