I once heard a really great definition of cynacism : ''idealism turned sour". As I move forward in my spiritual journey and minister to people I hear alot of comments that reflect the sad state of cynacism present. And I often wonder what has happened in people's lives to bring them to this place of doubting others , perhaps even doubting the presence of Jesus and His power to effectively work in life's circumstances .
But the Word of God is such an encouragement to me & I pray you today : EPHESIANS 3:20-21"NOW TO HIM WHO IS ABLE TO DO IMMEASURABLY MORE THAN ALL WE ASK OR IMAGINE ,ACCORDING TO HIS POWER WORKING WITHIN US, TO HIM BE GLORY IN THE CHURCH & IN CHRIST JESUS THROUGHOUT ALL GENERATIONS , FOR EVER AND EVER AND EVER, AMEN."
The frequently experienced limitations in our lives are usually due to emotions , choices we make ,allow to lodge in our minds & spirits like disillusionment,resignation, despair, disconnection etc,etc,
Keep facing life's challenges & great disappointments with the love , presence & joy that only JESUS can give . Cynacism will ultimately destroy any "faith-filled atmosphere " with sabotage and this will effect others , but in the main "imprison" yourself.
What soil are you cultivating in your life ? How has that influenced others around you ?
What about precious children who look up to you , what about friends who surround you , what about your husband or wife ,who live with you day after day and are under the influence of choices that we are making (with regard to cynacism)?
Today is a good day to let all of these negative reactions go and please (at least for your own sake ),choose to RESPOND rather than REACT!
I am praying for all my readers today that we will indeed let JESUS' life be lived out in our own lives .
READING FOR TODAY : GALATIANS 5 :16-26 ENJOY IT & LIVE IN THE JOY OF THE LORD WITH HIS PEACE.
