If we pick at scars before they heal, they’re painful, adds more scarring, and takes longer to heal. Once healed, we can still tell there was a scar there.
When we allow our scars to heal on their own, we can barely see there was a scar, after a period of time.
Just the same, when you handle your battles yourself, you go through all kinds of pain and heartache. In the end, there are noticeable scars left on your heart that takes longer to heal, and in some cases, relationships that never mend.
When you let God fight your battles, no one can tell that you are going through, or even, went through a battle.
Don’t allow your battles to make you look like what you’ve been through.
Exodus 14:14 (KJV) – the Lord shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace.
Deuteronomy 20:4 (KJV) – for the Lord your God is he that goeth with you, to fight for you against your enemies, to save you.
Father God, please hear my prayer. Forgive me, I don’t have time to spend with you. But when I need you, please be there for me. 
No matter what someone has done wrong to us, we find it hard to forgive them. Some things, we feel, are just not forgiveable.
Whatever or whomever we spend time with, we value. We value what we love.
There are so many who feel guilty for treating themselves to something. Or, will do for others first, and not do for themselves.
When we see opportunities to help someone, only to benefit ourselves, to get something back in return, we are saying; “I am my neighbor”. We’re only thinking about ourselves. This is not an act of kindness. We have eyes, but they only see inward.
When you look at the obvious, most choices are a no-brainer. Would you rather have $10 or $100?
We hide behind fear because we either, don’t want to fail, believe we will fail, or worried about what others think.
Why do we try to make people do what we say, rather than what God wants?
