and my knowledge of what is right.
How long do I continue to settle for less?
Letting someone else dictate my worth is meaningless
when I know I deserve much more then I put up with.
Deserve: Do something or have or show qualities worthy of (reward or punishment).
I know I don't deserve punishment.
Yet I continue to put myself through pain for the approval of others for Fear.
Fear of not being liked is a lie.
Like I have said before. Fear itself is a lie.
What is there really to Fear? Where does this fear come from?
Fear man or Fear God.
Eternal happiness in heaven or fleeting happiness on Earth.
This requires Faith in the existence of Heaven. Which I believe I have.
My actions are not projecting my knowledge.
Maybe it's that I need to gain more knowledge.
Though they say ignorance is bliss.
What is it when you aren't really ignorant but pretending
to be for the sake of keeping something you think you want.
Pretending that if you continue you will finally get what you want.
Even after being told it isn't going that
way your false ignorance says there is more to gain.
Proverbs 9:14 She sits at the door of her house,
on a seat at the highest point of
the city, calling out to those who pass by,
who go straight on their way.
Proverbs 22:3 A prudent man sees danger
and takes refuge, but the simple keep going
and suffer for it.
Ecclesiastes 7:23 All this I tested by wisdom and I said,
"I am determined to be wise"-
-but this was beyond me. Since no man knows the future,
who can tell him what is to come?
17 Then I saw all that God has done.
No one can comprehend what goes on
under the sun. Despite all his efforts to
search it out, man cannot
discover its meaning. Even if a wise man
claims he knows, he cannot really
comprehend it.
JAMES 1:5 If any of you lacks wisdom,
he should ask God, who gives
generously to all without finding fault,
and it will be given to him.
6 But when he asks, he must believe and not doubt,
because he who doubts
is like a wave of the sea,
blown and tossed by the wind.
Trying to please ourselves is hard enough.
Pleasing those around you, that
will always let you down is a waste.
The only one I need to
start to please is God.
Let my words of expression
be an incentive for change.
My job wont give
me the promotion I deserve.
The only constant is change.
