Internal World
There's nothing better than a day with friends. Hitting the road with your favorite playlist blaring and plans to hit your favorite stops is the perfect way to spend a Saturday.
The drive can be as fun as the destination, until you say something that blows it up. It's hard to understand why you took that jab at your friend, but you did. Now what should've been a fun daytrip has turned into a war where both of you are spewing everything friendship foul you've made in the last month.
If you're trying to understand, it may be time to look at what is happening inside you. While you may not have expressed your anger or resentment towards your friend, there could be something unsaid you need to resolve with her.
Truthfully, it may not have anything to do with her at all. It could be toxic overflow from stress or other situations that you need to emotionally process. This awareness is a powerful tool to help you keep on your self care.
Self-Care Moment
Recall your earliest memory of being rejected. Ask Holy Spirit to bring light and truth into the memory.Â
Rejection:Â not given approval, acceptance, cast off, or unwanted.
Accept:Â to receive, approve, to think of as normal, or a good response.Â
The Lord is near to the broken hearted. (Psalm 34:18)
God will never leave or forsake you. (Hebrews 13:5)
If God is for us, who can be against us? (Romans 8:31)
Heal me, O Lord, and I shall be healed;(Jeremiah 17:14)
Are there things you don’t like about yourself?
How has disappointment played a part in that?
Take a few moments to ask the Lord to reveal what’s inside you.
But who are you, a human being, to talk back to God? “Shall what is formed say to the one who formed it, ‘Why did you make me like this?’ Romans 9:20 NIV
The Shift to a Higher Way of Thinking
Healing from the Inside Out may require you to clean up old messes.
What to do when you internal world needs some work.
 Remember Holy Spirit can help.
Take a moment to reflect on where your thoughts have been migrating lately.
What irritates you?
Are you allowing your mind to ruminate on a particular situation?
Is there something deeper that you have acknowledged?
You may want to draw a picture or describe what your internal world looks like.
If it looks like a toxic waste dump, ask Holy Spirit to give you one thing to work on.
Trying to clean up too much at once will overwhelm you and cause you to shut down.
We are all the work of God’s hand (Isaiah 64:8). With this truth in mind, list unique talents and qualities God gave you. How could you partner with him to use them for good?
