Living As A Victim

Living As A Victim

Living As A Victim
Today I was thinking about living as a victim. There are many people I know who live a life in despair, fear and constant defeat. It's as if they are carrying around a dead person. They live a life in a self-imposed imprisonment. It's so sad. They miss it on so much fun, life, relationships and so much beauty in the world. I was one of them. I was a victim. 

Here is what I've learnt....

1. I realised I put myself in my own prison. No one but me put me there. I did it to myself, by myself. Sure, bad things happen, but my responses to them dictates my outcome.

2. I let the past cripple my future and my friends not knowing any better supported me in my pain and injustice.

3. I was reliant of the support I was getting from my victimisation and liked the attention. This took lots of time facing up to this one. When the lie was exposed the truth could be seen and action could be taken.

4. The only person I was hurting was me. Life continued without me. For me time stood still and I was paralyzed.

5. I lived to sabotage every good thing that tried to come into my life.

6. Justice was never going to be served here on earth, so I had to learn to let it ALL go!

7. No good or happiness comes from living a life as a victim.

8. There is NO LOVE, joy or peace or pleasure gained being a victim.

9. Knowing the only place for lasting heart healing transplant comes from God.

LIFE IN FREEDOM

1. The power of your free-will choice is more powerful than you think. You can change your world and your history.

2. Self-centred living ends. Once your heart is healed by Jesus, there is no desire to be self-defeating anymore. Hope takes over. Faith starts to build up. Instead of inward seeking, your focus is outward focused.

3. Love fills every lonely space. And I'm meaning, know God loves you, his not mad at you for the mistakes you've made, he wants to be part of your life brings a new paradigm of love into your life.

4. Kindness from a position of abundance of the heart produces greater satisfaction than living as a victim.

5. Lastly, GRATITUDE encompasses every part of your life. Joy comes from everywhere!

Hope these words blesses you today.

Live from a position of victory today. Forgive yourself. It's never too late to start again!

What if it's true? “In the beginning, God created (Creator of the Universe)”, if we have heart knowledge of this fact the experience of life changes dimensions to one of position and privilege. From position and privilege comes gratitude and abundance.
