10 Important Things To Remember About Relationships

I'd like to share something that I sent in a text message.  I sent it to someone who was caught off guard by a coworker whom she had considered a friend at work.  As I wrote it, I could sense that it really was ministering to me.  I've read it several times and would like to share it, slightly edited,  because it just may minister to someone else.  I know enough not to take any credit for it.  I just love Holy Spirit and how He works.  If it's for you, receive it.  If it isn't, shelve it.  If you think someone else may benefit from it, share it.  

Here it is:

Ten Important Things to Remember About Relationships

1. Realize that some people are acquaintances.  
   
2. Keep relationships professional (at work) unless and untill God says otherwise.  
   
3. Realize that the enemy is attempting to tear you down.  It's not the people.  
   
4. Understand who you are and Whose you are in Christ.  
   
5. Find your purpose and realize everybody can't go where you are going.  
   
6. Accept the fact that growth and maturity involve pain.  
   
7. Act on and live out all of that Word you have inside of you.  
   
8. You already have what you need.  
   
9. If this series of events shakes you this much, it's an indication that the foundation on which you are standing needs a little attention... that's not a bad thing.  Thank the devil, square you shoulders,    hold your head up, and keep on marching to victory! 

10.  Continue to allow Holy Spirit to lead, guide, and direct you in the area of relationships.  Don't  
        forget about your divine appointments.

Make sure that you are aware that...

NO weapon that is formed against you shall prosper!

•  It may sting.
  
•  It might hurt a little bit.
  
•  Sometimes it may hurt a lot.
  
•  BUT...It won't do what the devil intended, because you are covered by the blood of the Lamb!
  

It's time to bounce back!  Let's GO!



And finally...

Stop being so hard on yourself.  You are doing well.  You are a lot stronger than you think you are.  You haven't been packing on all that Word, for all of these years for nothing!  Preparation time, baby!  God already knew!

Now go forth and be encouraged, healed, empowered, and expectant as you go!  Finish walking out your testimony so your Father in heaven can get ALL of the glory!
