Is it enough?

Compliments, validation, and praise... Don't we all just love it? Nothing better to stroke our ego's than a few compliments or praise. Right? We can be self-seeking looking for validation. Why? What are we looking to gain? All those things are good, but when we only look to those things to esteem us they give us a false sense of security and esteem. They last for a moment. Sure we may remember the words, but what about the next time we need a little pep. Are we down, discouraged and out of sorts?
We have to be healthy in this area. We have to live balanced in the fact that compliments, and praise are all good however, we do not need them to validate our worth! We have purpose, value and we are cherished. Who or what are you looking to for validation in who you are as a woman? Do the compliments and praise sustain you? Does it last? Is it enough?

I hope that you are looking to Jesus Christ, the Creator and the Holy Spirit to confirm and validate who you are. Think on this awhile. I'll be back with part 2!

Blessings!

Reminders from the birds

One of my most favorite things to do is to get up early and go out on my back deck to enjoy the sunrise. With coffee in hand, I find my comfy chair to relax and this morning something new got my attention. I can hear the most beautiful music. There are no car sounds and everything is still except for the beautiful music. The music is an early morning symphony of praise for the new day. All the birds of the air are singing their praise! The melodies are sweet, joyful and yet they all are different.
That music brings to mind the verse "Early will I seek you.." First thing in the morning the birds are singing their happy tune before the movement of the day starts. That is a life lesson in itself. All is very still yet the birds are singing their song. Who am I that I will not praise my God first thing in the morning, but the birds will? What does that teach us? There is something to the early morning praise that can set the tone for the whole day. The time I spend with God encourages me greatly and reminds me to praise Him early in the morning. If a bird can then so can I! We have so much to be praising him for each day. Don't let the birds be the only who does the praising.
O God, You are my God; Early will I seek You; My soul thirst for You; My flesh longs for You In a dry and thirsty land Where there is no water. So I have looked for you in the sanctuary, to see your Power and Your glory. Because your lovingkindness is better than life, My lips shall praise You. Psalm 63: 1-3, NKJV
