STICKS AND STONES

Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me!

I have heard these idioms used a lot and I have even used it a lot myself. But yesterday I had a deeper understanding of the meaning. I heard some comments about me recently which I taught didn’t mean a thing but I was hurt. Not because of the words said but because I expected more from the person who said it. But as always, human will always be humans and no matter what you do, you can never satisfy everyone.

The most beautiful thing about this event is that, I was lifted by the end of the day.

You want to know how? i'll tell you...

I went through the day not realising that I had kept these words in my heart and i was hurting. Until I got to our Monday night prayer meeting (tanks to PGCF) and was I touched at that meeting. We read Numbers 17 and prayed some heavy prayers and I felt God was speaking to me so much more that I had to go back and study Chapter 16 too. And I realised that even from time past, things like these have been happening even at a much more higher degree than am going through. I was deeply encouraged and lifted because I wasn’t expecting God to reach out to me that fast and direct. God is truly our very present help and HE cares about even the little things that seem so insignificant.

I have released the person and i know I just need to keep on doing my best no matter what anyone says and I believe by the Grace of God i will keep on getting better. Anyone out there feeling down or discouraged because of what someone has said about you read Numbers 16 and 17 and just shake it off.

IF NO ONE TALKS ABOUT YOU THEN YOU ARE A NOBODY!
