Self-Talk and No Time
When did The LORD turn you away from Himself?
Since it is His very nature to draw you in, It is not like Him to turn you away.
You may have been listening to a false narrative about you concerning having no faith to respond to His call. But that is really all that it is; a false narrative….
Self-talk tends to go down hill when you spend no time with The LORD.
You might be complaining about some thing, or some event that took place years ago. You had no sense of closure about what really happened that had affected you.
Bring those things to Jesus, and the Spirit of The LORD will reveal to you what you need to overcome the negative impact those things had upon your life.
For He is saying to you: “I will restore unto you the years that the swarming locusts have eaten.” (Joel 2:25).
“Therefore, my brothers, Whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy — meditate on these things.
The things which you learned and received and heard and saw in me, these do, and the God of peace will be with you.” (Philippians 4:8-9).
Looking unto Jesus, The Author and Finisher of your Faith.

A lot of pain from the past keeps coming up and it paralyzed me.
