Recently I had been trying to help and mentor an individual whose life was turned upside down🙃 a disaster.🌪
They constantly complained about the mess their life was in, it appears consistent. Yet they deny it, but history continues to follow them, like the plague. 🌚🌬
They would throw it in people's faces like it was everyone else's problem to solve?
Proverbs 29:1 (AMP)
Warnings and Instructions
29 He who hardens his neck and refuses instruction after being often reproved (corrected, criticized),
Will suddenly be broken beyond repair.
A couple of us invested alot of time, effort, patience, training, encouragement and advise, but all was rejected and felt like for nothing.
GOD spoke to us both to help this person, which we did at great length.
They blew off what we suggested to do. GOD directed us both to say the same things, but they were ignored.
We wanted to walk away, but GOD spoke to us both to continue to no avail.
Needless to say that person's situation took a plummet. They went back to their old ways, their current behavior caused a domino effect in many lives, devistating one, causing them to lose their job, back to square one, life became worse quickly, like a dam busting lose. It felt like all efforts were for nothing, futile.
Face it, your stubbornness is going to cost you, there's no getting around it. How far will you have to fall? What will it take to break you? When will you get sick and tired of the disasters YOU MAKE IN YOUR LIFE?
Not because GOD forgot them, but because of their disobedience, their unwillingness to learn, listen or humble themselves.
Rather they chose to be prideful. They knew better, but yet their history repeats itself.
They just keep digging a bigger hole, because in their defiance, pride and unteachable spirit they refuse to listen or implement what has been advised or taught.
Proverbs 28:26 (AMP)
26
He who trusts confidently in his own heart is a [dull, thickheaded] fool,
But he who walks in [skillful and godly] wisdom will be rescued.
GOD KNOWS I have been there. People trying to show me my mistake. I let pride and stubbornness cost me a lesson, I wasn't ready for, but paid dearly and painfully for.
I remember GOD SAID, "SO YOU THINK YOU'RE SMARTER THAN ME!!!" 😲😔
Boy, did that drop me to my knees. When I do things my way, that's what I'm saying. YIKES!!😬
Those TREMENDOUS mistakes in my life try to haunt me, hoping to demean me, shame me and bring me down. DON'T LISTEN!!!
Those were TREMENDOUS PAINFUL LESSONS. I gained alot of painful wisdom, but valuable lessons to say the least.
We have to have boundaries when listening to people, many have wrong intentions and hope to damage and bring you down, but there are those who love you, have your best interest at heart and only hope to help, bringing a positive result in your life.
It's hard to swallow your pride when you're wrong, but it's you who initially pays for your stubborn ways.
How much are you willing to pay? Don't blame others, stop the victim mentality and stop looking to others to clean up and fix your mess.
Be real with yourself admit your fault. Forgive yourself. Try not to look back. It's not who you are anymore, unless you plan to duplicate it.
Don't blame GOD, HE sent messengers that you ignored, resented even despised.
The only way out of your mess, the hole YOU DUG, is to repent to GOD for your stubborn pride. Repent for your anger against those who tried to help, ask GOD how to get out of the pit, YOU DUG, OBEY AND DO EXACTLY WHAT HE ADVISES YOU TO DO.
FORGIVE YOU, DON'T LOOK BACK, LEARN FROM YOUR PAST AND DON'T REPEAT!! 🙏🏽
Guess what it's never too late to change your ways. Listen and allow to turn that mess into a Miracle. It's all in your court, what will you chose to do? Pride or humility?
GODS WAY OR yours? Today is a new day. GOD IS A GOD OF A SECOND CHANCE!!
Psalm 30:5 (AMP)
5
For His anger is but for a moment,
[a]His favor is for a lifetime.
Weeping may endure for a night,
But a shout of joy comes in the morning.
🙌❤️🔥❤️🔥🙌
