Jealousy is a bitter beast.
Placid inside it waits to feast
upon my heart, emotions, my peace.
Devouring thoughts it creates assumptions.
Corrupting my mind,
it’s hard to function.
Oh jealousy where is your root?
The place where you started,
the beginning of your fruit?
Remember: love is not jealous. Be love.

Perservere.
Persevere.
We need to adopt the attitude of this:
“we are determined to win.
We’ll fight them until hell freezes over,
and if we have to,
we’ll fight them on ice!”
-unknown
it’s only after we persevere through our trials; that we are truly rewarded.

Motivation
I have come to the realization that my problem lies within motivation.
To feel alone, but knowing you’re not, is a
dark battle inside the heart and spirit.
The insecurities of these unSUREities are overwhelming.
…i need you

It's YOU vs. ME
For too long I have listened to this deception; your lies.
No longer will you whisper thoughts of mediocrity.
I’d say you force fed me, but as a weak puppet I took hold of the spoon and devoured each lie, one by one.
Slowly I became a nobody. A gray face going about their day.
Too long have I allowed you to grip my life.
I am a CHILD of the LIGHT
You can’t have me anymore
I am a MEMBER of the RIGHTEOUS
You can’t have me anymore
I am a WARRIOR of the TRUTH
YOU CANT HAVE ME ANYMORE
Get your filth off of me! Take back these chains that weigh me down.
You have no place here.
I AM set apart. (Jeremiah 1:5)
I WILL do great things. (Philippians 4:13)
I AM an overcomer. (Luke 10:19)
I WILL change the world. (Jeremiah 1:10)
I AM not alone. (Joshua 1:9)
I will rise against everything you are
...you can’t stop me.

good-bye ol friend.
I just did something that breaks my heart.
is it right to let go of people who have let go of you?
or is it better to stick it through to show that you care?
...that you'll always be there.
...that you won't change.
...that you're there till the end.
...through the thick and the thin.
I guess that sometimes you have to let things go.
...but should it be a person, or your problems?
suck.

...roo
The anger inside of me rages hotter than any other emotion.
With the feeling of abandonment as the fuel.
It's the feeling of being abandoned by the people I care most about, yet smothered by others so much that it makes me want to be sick.
I want to get out and be alone because I feel alone, but there isn't anywhere to go.
I know that there are people that love me. People who want to listen and help me with my troubles, but I don't want to talk to them. I want to talk to the source of my anger, this bitterness. I want to confide in God. I want things to be the way that they are/were supposed to be.
Life is dry.
I let you in.
I let you in so deep that I can't let go of you.
You made me face my my biggest fear. You've shown me what I hate most. You revealed the feelings that I hated so much; I had forgotten about them until you came along.
Did you ever really care about me? Or have you always been fake? Honestly, who are you? If you truly cared about me as much as you had said, how could you let me go? How could you let things become the way they are?
Empty words fill your mouth like bullets in a loaded gun.
You're locked and loaded aiming to hurt someone
Targeting the heart, going straight for the kill.
You're unhealthy
yet, I can't let go of you
I can't let go
trust me, I've tried
I've tried time and time again
I tried digging you out of my heart
but the feeling of abandonment has strapped you down
...do i seek the approval of man or of God?

Hang In There
We will all go through times when we may feel distant from God.
Although we fail to realize it, most of the time it's because He is testing us. He wants to see what lengths we will go through to find Him. How badly we want Him.
Jeremiah 29:13 "you will seek me and find me when you seek me with all of your heart."
are we wholeheartedly seeking God?
...or
do we give up once we realize that our FAITH isn't just "a walk in the park"?
...or
are we getting too comfortable with our complacency?
We need to realize that God works EVERYTHING to our good. No matter what we are going through now, we are called to be overcomers. BE AN OVERCOMER.
Once we have overcome our battles, we are able to look back and see what we had gone through... and how our faith had helped us to conquer them.
Once we are past them, we realize that what we thought was God distancing himself from us; we see how He actually helped us get through them.
We all face trials; and how we deal with them- when it gets tough, truly determines who we are (but that's a different topic.) How badly do we want to fight the good fight and finish the race?
We all go through things, and face it... it keeps us humble.
We need to remember to look to God in our trials. He's the one with the ultimate plan for our lives. He sees what we go through, and is with us every step of the way.
2 Cor 3:4 " Peace be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God."
God comforts us in our troubles so we can comfort others in theirs. You can't take someone somewhere you've never been.
There is hope.
There is always a silver lining.
Things do get better.
You're going to make it through this. Just keep holding on. Believe it or not, it's worth it.
Romans 8:28 "And we know that in all things God works for the Good of those who love Him. Who have been called according to His purpose."
