You shall love your neighbor as [you do] yourself.
Matthew 22.39
Listening to ourselves can be quite an education. Do you say negative and unkind things about yourself ? If you do, it is because deep in your heart, you have a bad attitude about yourself, and it will affect all of your relationships. God doesn't want you to say bad things about yourself; He wants you to love and respect yourself so you can love and respect others. You cannot give away what you don't have in you already.
God loves us unconditionally, and since God, Who is perfect, loves us, then surely we can love ourselves. We all make mistakes and want to change, and we should work with the Holy Spirit toward those changes, but through Christ we can love and value ourselves even while we are imperfect. The better you get along with yourself, the better you will get along with others.

God Strengthens You
Fear not [there is nothing to fear], for I am with you; do not look around you in terror and be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen and harden you to difficulties, yes, I will help you; yes, I will hold you up and retain you with My [victorious] right hand of rightness and justice.
(Isaiah 41:10)
When does this Scripture mean when it says, "I will strengthen and harden you to difficulties"? It means God makes you stronger and stronger as you go through things. It also means you become less affected by the difficulties and challenges you face as time goes on. It is like exercise; when you first do it, you get sore, but as you press through the soreness, you build muscle and gain strength and soon find ease in doing what was once very difficult.
As you have been walking with God, He has been strengthening you. You can face each new challenge, overcoming any fears, God will continually give you the strength you need to overcome and you will grow in maturity.

Minister to Yourself
Words kill, words give life; they're either poison or fruit-you choose.
Proverbs 18:21 THE MESSAGE
Our thoughts affect our words, and our words affect our lives-words have power, and they directly affect our emotions. Words fuel good moods or bad moods, in fact, they fuel our attitudes and have a huge impact on our lives and our relationships.
In Proverbs 21:23 we are told to guard our mouths and tongues to keep ourselves from trouble. Proverbs also tells us, "Death and life are in the power of the tongue" (18:21). The message cannot be any clearer: If you speak positive and good things, you minister life to yourself. You increase your joy. However, if you speak negative words, you minister death and misery to yourself-you increase your sadness and your mood plummets. You have the choice between life and death, being positive or negative-so choose wisely!
POWER THOUGHT: I choose to speak life-giving words.

Forgiveness Is Forever
For by a single offering He has forever completely cleansed and perfected those who are consecrated and made holy....He then goes on to say, And their sins and their lawbreaking I will remember no more.
Hebrews 10:14,17
God's forgiveness is forever----ongoing for the duration of our lives; it is for every day. When Jesus died on the cross, He not only forgave everything we had done in our pasts, but He also committed Himself to forgive and forget every sin we would commit in the future.
He knows our thoughts before we think them; He knows our words before they come out of our mouths; He knows every wrong decision we will ever make--and they're all covered. All we have to do is stay in a relationship with Him. After all, what He wants from us more than anything else is not perfect performance, perfect behavior, or perfect attitudes, but hearts that really love Him.

Angry Words
But now put away and rid yourselves [completely] of all these things: anger, rage, bad feeling toward others, curses and slander, and foulmouthed abuse and shameful utterances from your lips!
(Colossians 3:8)
Anger is one of our strongest emotions; it grows and manifests in words and actions. We all experience anger, and feeling anger is not a sin-it is what we do with the anger that is important.
When you experience the emotion of anger, you shouldn't act on those feelings. Don't be led and motivated by them. Don't say what you would like to say or do what you would like to do, because that is what gets you trouble. Instead, follow the guidance of the Holy Spirit and the Word of God, and do what you believe Jesus would do in the same situation you are facing.
You may be thinking, But I can't help it; I'm angry! The truth is that you feel anger, but you don't have to let it control you behavior.
It's important to understand something about emotions. What goes up always come down. Emotions are fickle, and what bothers you today might affect you quite differently tomorrow. Wait for emotions to subside and then decide what you should say and do.

John 3:16-18
For God so greatly loved and dearly prized the world that He [even] gave up His only begotten (unique) Son, so that whoever believes in (trusts in, clings to, relies on) Him shall not perish (come to destruction, be lost) but have eternal (everlasting) life.
For God did not send the Son into the world in order to judge (to reject, to condemn, to pass sentence on) the world, but that the world might find salvation and be made safe and sound through Him.
He who believes in Him [who clings to, trusts in, relies on Him] is not judged [he who trusts in Him never comes up for judgment; for him there is no rejection, no condemnation - he incurs no damnation]; but he who does not believe (cleave to, rely on, trust in Him) is judged already [he has already been convicted and has already received his sentence] because he has not believed in and trusted in the name of the only begotten Son of God. [He is condemned for refusing to let his trust rest in Christ's name.
John 3:16-18
Thank You, God, for loving me so much that You gave up Your only Son, so that if I believe in Him, I will not perish, but I will have everlasting life. I know that You did not send Your Son to condemn me, but that I might find salvation and be made safe and sound through Him.

Don't Miss the Miracle
And she had a sister named Mary, who seated herself at the Lord's feet and was listening to His teaching.
Luke 10:39
You will not enjoy the present moment and the gifts it contains if you don't have a balanced attitude toward work. Luke 10:38 - 42 tells the story of Jesus' visit to the home of two sisters, Mary and Martha. Martha was overly occupied and too busy (see Luke 10:40). But Mary sat down at Jesus' feet and listened to what He had to say.
Jesus said Mary made the better choice. Jesus did not tell Martha not to work, but He did tell her not to be frustrated or have a bad attitude while she worked. Jesus wants you to work hard, but He also wants you to be wise enough to realize when you should stop all activity and not mess the miracle of the moment.
Power Thought: I have balance in my life. I enjoy my work, and I know when to stop and enjoy other things.

Mind, Mouth, Moods, and Attitudes
Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy:and nothing shall by any means hurt you.
(Luke 10:19) (KJV)
This is typically how your mind, mouth, moods, and attitudes are connected: When you have a negative circumstance, you have a negative thought. Then you say a negative thing about the circumstance, and then you mood begins to sink. Next you get a bad attitude, and you end up with more negative circumstances than you starred with.
But you can brake the cycle in your life. Did you know that? Luke 10:19 says we have power to "tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy" (KJV). To tread means "to walk all over, to take steps, to take action, to resist." You have the power to do these things. When you have a problem, nothing negative will fix it. Keep your mind, mouth, moods, and attitudes positive, and watch God work miracles on your behalf.
POWER THOUGHT: In Christ, I have power over negative thinking.
