It depends on how you USE me....

In the last few years I have come to the conclusion that not everyone has good intentions for you. I have realized that you will be used a time or two or three....LOL! There are some people that will enter your life to destroy you. There are also those people that come into your life to steer you away from those who were sent to destroy you. I believe there is a role for everyone in your life. We have friends that are there for certain seasons and different reasons. For example, you may have a friend that is good at listening, or a friend that is good at analyzing things and coming up with solutions and then you have that friend that you like to party and have fun with. Everyone you meet has been sent by God to intervene in your life or to become an intercessor for God's purpose. We all need to ask for the gift of discernment. Don't pray for THINGS and STUFF, pray for DISCERNMENT and LOVE. We need genuine people in our lives so that we don't have to question their motives. There is nothing that feels more uncomfortable than a feeling of uncertainty when it comes to how loved ones deal with us. When you play a role in someone's life you are either the taker or the giver. Most of the time the takers rarely give and the givers rarely take. This is how they were designed to be. When we look at how God constructed us we learn to be more supportive of the role he bestowed upon us. For example, I am a giver. I may not give as means of finances or THINGS per-se, but I am the person people come and talk to because I am a good listener or I provide good and sound advise. I have always been a helper even when people do not necessarily help me. I learned my role a long time ago and have learned to accept it accordingly. At first it was rough not receiving the same thing that I give out. In time, I have noticed that everything is not always about YOU. Once this concept was discovered I was able to be an asset to God and allow Him to use me. It's all right to allow God to use you, but when people start to use you it starts to become a problem. I need you to understand that EVERYONE gets used. But, when you allow someone to use you up it diminishes your light. It clouds your judgement and causes you to feel insecure and worthless. You can allow someone to use your phone or a little sugar, but never let them use your soul. Pray for DISCERNMENT!!!
