Do you ever have those days where you think that you have no one in your life?
I used to have those days all the time. Even after I met Jesus and accepted Him into my life I still struggled to accept that there were people in my life that loved and cared for me. I still had a number of moments where I felt alone.
Today, I celebrate my anniversary of my move from Western Australia to New South Wales and it really has opened my eyes to the number of great people who I have in my life. I haven't had those lonely moments over the past few months which is great. I'm finally able to accept that I have friends that love and care for me. I have found myself wondering though, what is it that made me think all that time that I had no one.
Sometimes things happen in our past that can affect the way we view ourselves. As a child growing up, I never had a large number of friends. I had taken on the belief that I would never have any meaningful friendships or relationships and without realising I took this with me everywhere I went. Even when people were right there, I neglected to see it. I had been blinded to what was right in front of me.
The devil can do this to us so much in our lives and it's important we get to know what it is so we can deal with it and move on from it. I'm so thankful that God had brought this to my attention so that over the past 6 months or so I have been able to alter my thinking. When the devil places something in my mind that I know is not true, I can replace it with God's truth and love.
Thankful for: Friends
I'm just about to celebrate my journey with some great friends, so I am thankful that I have them all in my life.
