Jesus told His disciples to make the people sit down and they did . There were about 5000 men . He took the bread , gave thanks to God , and distributed it to the people who were sitting there . He did the same with the fish , and they all had as much as they wanted .
In all these instances , the people involved were in hopeless situations . They didn ' t know what to do and as far they were concerned , their fate had been sealed . They underestimated what they had because it was small . But when God got involved , everything changed . What they thought won ' t help them is what God used to turn their situations around . What about us ? Many of us have great plans , projects and things we want to do . But when we look at our finances , we wonder how it ' s going to work . We tend to think that some things are beyond our reach because we don ' t have what it takes . Our inadequacies and lack are our major obstacles when it comes to doing great things and accomplishing our divine assignments . But what if we turned our eyes from our ' smallness ’ to the ' bigness ’ of the God who has called us ?
We need to trust God to do and have more because He is unlimited . That which you think is small and insignificant before you is what God needs to propel you to another level . Release it to Him and He will help you .
I will not hurt anymore ; I am better than this :
I will not hurt anymore ! I am better than this ; I will create the life I want and eliminate what and who I do not want in my life . I do not have to accept things as they are ; I can change them for the better . There are decisions and choices I have to make . I will stop sabotaging myself . I will no longer hang on to my past . I release myself from negative emotions . I release myself from self-inflicted pain . I am developing a new way of thinking . I am developing a new me ; letting go of old identities . I am freeing myself from labels placed there by others . I am freeing myself from attachments ; I am moving beyond needing anyone ' s approval .
I free myself from old negative ways of thinking . I am aware that I have a choice and can choose new things and ways in my life . I am free from repeating the past . I now focus on what I have , not on what I lack ; whatever I focus on increases , good or bad . It ' s time I stand my ground . It ' s time to start over . I am going for a total change ; total rebirth , total makeover ; a metamorphosis , from a crawling caterpillar to a soaring butterfly . Most of my life has been neglect and disapproval . So , I am going to recreate , reinvent , and redesign my life story , because “ I am better than this !”
Each new day will be the best day of my life , starting TO- DAY !! Today is the first day of the rest of my life ! It ' s my choice to either be as I have been , or start to be what I desire to be . I will create my own reality . In order to get over my past , I must deal with my present . What ' s going on in me ? What or who am I carrying around with me all day ? I am moving from where I am in life to where I want to be ; this is accomplished in the mind . I walked away from myself - from my life many years ago and became the person others said I was ; now , I am walking back into my life - but not as I was , but a new and better life .
I am creating the life I was intended by God to live . It ' s like being in prison all these years ; now I am free ; I am liberated , I am emancipated . I am completely set free from the self-image formed in my childhood . This is my choice ! I was born with this black cloud over my head and it has never left me , until now that is ; I am coming from under this cloud now ! I have to let go of my past so that I can enjoy my present and future . I deserve to live my best life NOW !! And I intend to do it , BE- CAUSE I AM BETTER THAN THIS !!
