Emptied Out

If constantly you are only pouring out, never being fed...sooner or later you will be empty. Life has taught me that sympathy will only cause others to feel sorry for themselves. So often people victimize themselves, and expect others to pick up the tab. Pouring out can become much like an addiction, just as being filled up can all the same. Crack cocaine isn't the only detrimental drug on the market, there are others getting high just on the thought that the world owes them something.
No one owes you anything, we all have trials, tribulations, and our own share of hardships. Emptied out are those of us who get so wrapped up in giving, we think we can save the world. But this world is not ours to save, we are merely the tools from the tool shed that God uses when he sees fit to do so. And for you takers, if you continue looking only for gifts from the world, nothing this world gives you will ever be enough. When God created us he placed a void within us that can only be filled with him...and unless you reach out and touch him the King of Kings, the Holy One. He is Alpha, Omega, the Prince of Peace, and any man who does not know him will spend the rest of their lives trying to fill a void that can only be filled by Him.
And for you givers no amount of us giving will ever fill that Void. All you can do is introduce your loved ones to God, pray for them, and they must do the rest! May Blessings continue to fall on all ye saints of God.

Accept

There comes a time when you find and accept the person that you are, without doubt or full clarity you gain the courage to embrace yourself. No matter who you are or what you become in life someone will always demand you be more. Accomplishment is a good thing as long as it is grown from the seeds of your truth, and not the seeds someone has laid and planted for you.

Walking in the path that is paved for you can be overwhelming as your truth unfolds, when you realize that not only are you not the person others see you as, but you aren't even the person you thought you were. Your greatest strength can become your weakness, and you have the power to turn your greatest weakness into a strength. My greatest weakness is my struggle to perservere despite what they said I could be, and the ambition born from this struggle is my greatest strength.

No one can steal your mind, no matter what you go through...
