Do not let anyone steal your joy. Do not allow anyone to make you feel uncomfortable or guilty for your blessings. There is no condemnation in Christ and that means when you feel guilt for something or someone, it is not of God. I had to end a very important friendship years ago because I felt as though I could not share my joys with her. She would appear jealous and uncomfortable and was void of any emotion and I was always a loyal friend to her but when her life was not going well, she did not want mine too nor did she want to hear about any joys in my life. I had to do something very painful and break up with her. I refuse to have anyone in my life that will not allow me to express myself, share my blessings and want good things for me. There is enough evil in the world and enough spiritual warfare going on that I have the desire to be surrounded by solid and loyal people. It is so nice to be able to have other believers in your circle because it becomes such a deeper level of trust and I love to pray for others and others to pray for me. Jesus was very alone in His life and counted very few men in his most inner circle and I feel like that. My husband and I guard ourselves and that can even mean from family. We choose to surround ourselves with others that love us and are happy for us. All we live to do is glorify God and I made a personal vow that I would live my life exemplifying God and that means sharing all He has done for us. When someone takes it on a secular level as bragging or they mock me, then I know the presence of the Lord is not amongst us and I guard myself spiritually. We must have spiritual awakening and a discerning heart that allows our faith to take action. Do not stand by and allow people into your life that are speaking negative, offering non biblical advice and not sharing in your triumphs and peaks of joy. I pray that the Lord give you all today the eyes to see, the ears to hear and the heart to accept His truths in all aspects of your life today. I pray your life be filled with His glory and honor and that your blessings be in abundance. Have a blessed day in Him.
1 Corinthians 16:13
