Wednesday, September 16, 2015 "Better than Bitter"

Don't give up or lose hope when it seems the world is turning cold.  They say it is really a sign of the end times.  But instead on focusing on the negative or what you are not getting, focus on God's love for you. Know that your life and future is secure in Him. But I know sometimes we will have those moments. I get discouraged when I feel like I give more than I receive. I am a big foodie so I love to cook and invite people for parties and dinner and it is a joy of mine. And I do it because I want to and never for anything in return, but I would be lying if I said I don't get hurt that no one ever calls to invite me over or out to get a cup of coffee. It is extremely hurtful, but I refuse to let it manifest and make my heart become bitter. I refuse to stop being who I was called to be. My home will forever be open to others. Better than bitter! Only way to be. 
I know how to be brought low, and I know how to abound. In any and every circumstance, I have learned the secret of facing plenty and hunger, abundance and need. I can do all things through him who strengthens me. Philippians 4:12-13
