Fantastic Friday

  I have always studied people's attitude and how they adapted to life.  As I get older, I also notice how easy it is for some people to feed off others emotions.  There is absolutely nothing wrong with being empathic.  We need more Christians to be loving.  However, Setting Up Walls and setting up boundaries are two different things.
     As Christians,  " Christ Followers,"  or people in general....we need to learn what is toxic to us.  We need to learn how to be loving without actually becoming like that person.  Does that make sense?  We need to learn how to control our emotions.  We need to Identify our own emotions before we can help someone else.  If we end up in the same emotional downslide that the other person is, we are not going to be very much help.
     It is so very easy to play off other people's emotions.  I catch myself doing it.  After I realize it though,  I group everything back to home base.  People actually watch us so we need to be careful how we treat each other.  We need to be careful how we treat God's church, last but not least, we need to be careful how we treat ourselves.


      A merry heart maketh a cheerful countenance: but by sorrow of the heart the spirit is broken.
                                                                 Proverbs 15: 13

Prayer--  Lord, help me to control my emotions.  Help me to treat others the way You would have me treat them.  Help me to shine my light as far as It can go.  In Jesus Name, Amen
