The Sin of Self Pity


If we allow the luxury of self pity to take over our life at any moment we are cut off from GOD. The moment we begin to realize that GOD’s riches are available to us if we ask for them our lives begin to change for the better. I have read and heard that GOD will give us all we want if we ask for it in the name of his son Jesus Christ. There are many things I have asked for and not gotten and the usual explanation of this is that it was not GOD’s will for me to have it. So what is the secret password or the perfect way to ask in order to receive? The “Quote” that comes to mind is “When we surrender to GOD the journey begins”. If we get into the habit of become grateful for what we do have we are in a better state of mind and open to suggestion from GOD through other people. The end result is we begin to ask for the things that will help us grow towards GOD’s purpose for our life and not simply for the things that we think will make us happy.

    Self Pity is our default emotion and is a way of building a wall around us that can feel like a safe place with familiar surroundings. However it will cut us off from GOD and keep us stagnant and stale. The act of wallowing around in self pity is the same as trying to pick up dog poop by the clean end. That thought always produces an image for me that gets rid of the self pity.

    Remember: Finding GOD’s will for you is the greatest discovery,                                                              doing GOD’s will is your greatest achievement!
