Growing INSIDE of you

Have you stopped to wonder just what is actually growing inside of you?  I’m speaking in terms of the emotional thoughts you allow to fester within you.  Are they positive or negative?  Whatever thoughts dwell within you, will bloom.  Do you live with self-doubt, an inferiority complex, lack faith, harbor emotional barriers from your childhood, or do you brood thoughts about the consequences of certain circumstances you created?  Whatever is growing INSIDE of you will LIVE inside of you.  Most will reach a point and ponder on how you allowed yourself to feel defeated.  There is one main ingredient missing from the formula you stirred up.  Belief in Yourself.

When you are preparing food, it requires you to gather a list of ingredients to make a great meal.  If you miss the main ingredient by adding certain ingredients in an attempt to acquire that same taste, that meal will certainly not taste the same.  No matter how much more or less of an ingredient you add or take away from your meal, without that “key” ingredient it simply will not have that taste of satisfaction.  It’s lacking substance, it’s lacking taste, and it’s lacking that “umphf” one needs to say that your meal was wonderfully made to your taste.  This same concept can be understood in terms of what is actually growing inside of you.  You have managed to add different scenarios within your life that does not enhance your growth to your liking.  Therefore crafting an inferiority complex.

There are never any fears in discovering why and how to remedy what is growing inside of you.  It’s quite simple, don’t give up or throw in the towel.  Just start over!  It’s never too late to rid yourself of feelings of inadequacies.  The bible is a guiding tool for our life.  There you will find many biblical accounts of people just like you and me who have turned their lives around.  It can be done! You simply have to believe that those same principles and accounts can in fact be applied to your life.  You simply CANNOT believe in God yet lack belief within yourself.  The two go hand in hand!  You cannot attain such belief without the other.  Fear is unbelieving!  When you fear then you cannot possibly believe that God IS.  So INFLATE your FAITH!  This is the due diligence needed into turning your life around. 

You are required to have BELIEF IN YOURSELF, a deep analysis, PATIENCE, effort and ‘re-adjustment’ of your ATTITUDE.  In order to be a conqueror of self, you must NEVER view your problems looking through the same set of eyes when those problems were created.  You must see yourself and those obstacles using different eyes.  You cannot and I repeat CANNOT use yesterday’s logic to solve today’s problems.  That logic has already proven to be a malfunction to your growth.  I want you to blossom into the beautiful, uniquely created and crafted gem that God designed you to be.  You simply have to never forget about the main ingredient (belief in God and yourself) before facing those obstacles/challenges that will ultimately make and shape you.  Challenges are not meant to hinder you, they are meant to enhance your growth!  Pray earnestly for God to create within you a new mindset that will OVERSHADOW those obstacles in order for you to be victorious through any storm!  So, what’s growing INSIDE of you?  My answer: God’s gift of INNER peace.  I am incapable of allowing anything to disturb my peace of mind.  Allow ‘positivity’ to grow INSIDE of you so they can LIVE inside of you.  Positive quote: “The gem cannot be polished without friction, nor man perfected without trials.” -Confucius
