Stop Playing the Blame Game

Author, Nicole L. RossLeave a comment

I have issues, you have issues, we all have issues. It’s how we deal with those issues I want to talk about today. Seems like lately, everyone wants to play the blame game. I keep hearing people talk about their problems and in their conversation there seems to almost always be someone else to blame. This really bothers me because it seems like no one wants to take responsibility for their own actions anymore.  That’s taking the easy way out. When there are problems, situations or unwanted circumstances in life whether it be past or present, why not look at yourself and see what you can do differently?  Instead of focusing on what someone else did or did not do, get your mind right. Perspective is everything. Focus on you. Hold yourself accountable. You have no control over the actions of other people. You can however, control you.

That is how my book, Let’s Talk Life: A New Perspective was birthed. I went through many ups and downs in a very short season in my life. In that time God began to show me, me. He wouldn’t even allow me to point the finger and focus on the actions of others (even though I wanted to very badly). Instead, he used my pain and heartache to grow me up. Me focusing on the actions, or lack there of, of other people would have caused me to stay in the same space I was in.  Which means I would have never been able to grow.  There is some stuff on the inside of you that only God can get out, but you have to get to a place where you’re willing. You must be willing to acknowledge your faults, if to no one else but to God. The fact of the matter is, you will never become who you want to be if you keep blaming everyone else for who you are now. If you want to be successful. If you want to be victorious. If you want to be the wonderful, awesome person that you were created to be stop blaming everyone else for everything and take responsibility for you. Make a decision. Be the change you’d like to see in others.

Thought Check:

Because of the privilege and authority God has given me, I give each of you this warning: Don’t think you are better than you really are. Be honest in your evaluation of yourselves, measuring yourselves by the faith God has given us. (Romans 12:3 NLT)

For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. (Matthew 7:2 NIV)

Write For Him

WritingForTheGloryOfGod

Writing is one of the best ways to communicate your thoughts and clearly express yourself to others. For those who love God and want to serve Him, writing can also be a way to reach out to others and draw them into the Kingdom. This week I’d like to highlight Godly Girls For God (GGFG), a ministry started by Hillary Beth Koenig. Godly Girls For God recently published “Write for Him: The Story of GGFG” a devotional book that features 25 young ladies representing 10 different countries who all came together to honor our One Great God!

When I initially started reading “Write for Him: The Story of GGFG”, I could barely stop reading. This book is a must have for young women. It’s inspiring, thought-provoking, engaging and the thing that caught my immediate attention was that it was honest and relatable. Everything these young women were thinking or experiencing at that moment in their life they wrote about it. They used this book as an opportunity to show that people who are saved and who are living for God still have issues they deal with everyday just like everyone else. As you’ll see in their writing, it’s the way they deal with these issues that sets them apart from the rest. They put their trust in God to overcome addictions, put away distorted views of God, learn how to cope with losing a parent, deal with bullies, face their fears about the future, and trade the messages of this world for the Truth.

The motto of GGFG is Glorifying God and Encouraging Others, and we act on this with every devotional, story, poem, and advice article that we write and post! Based on what I’ve read, not only in their book, but also on the website http://godlygirlsforgod.com/ –  they do just that.

Writing to your Heavenly Father is an excellent way to communicate with Him. Not everyone knows how to express themselves, but however you do it, it can still be effective as long as it’s done with a sincere heart.  Take a glimpse at what these young ladies have done in “Write for Him: The Story of GGFG”, and you’ll gain a better perspective of what it means to write for God. Our Heavenly Father knows our thoughts, He hears our prayers. Even if those prayers happen to be written down in a journal. I have been blessed by “Write for Him: The Story of GGFG”, and I know you will be too, so get your copy today and be inspired.
