WHO WERE YOU CREATED TO BE

I hear people say all the time "You need to know your worth". But I like to say "know what you were created to be". You may not know your purpose from day one but you must know who you were created to be. Whether you are Muslim, Buddhist, Christian, Jewish, or any other faith there are core beliefs on how you were created to be, live and strive. And nowhere does it say that you should live outside the worth your God(s) have create you to live at. 

As a Christian I can only speak from that point of view. I searched for years on what my purpose was. I prayed "God just show me what I am supposed to do" "Show me what you have put me here for". Yet my prayers went unanswered. I did not know who I was, what my purpose was or what I was supposed to do with my life. At this time I was living viciously. Not a care for my self worth or the self worth of those I came in contact with. Until I began to study the Word of God. 

It took me years to realize that I had to start with who God created me to be. Knowing God created me in his image (Genesis 1:27) and that because of that I am fearfully and wonderfully made (Psalm 139:14). I realized that because of these things it allowed me to worship him for who he made me to be even in all my flaws. Once I created that connection that I had to him with prayer and meditation I began to hear the word of God for myself and not just in written form. At that time I realized who I am and who I was created to be. 

Only after I tapped into the love of God and gave him my appreciation did he show me my purpose. It is a necessity for those of faith to be Thankful in everything that is given. Once you know who you are created to be you will never live below your worth or allow other to treat you below your worth.

She is clothed in strength & dignity, and she laughs without fear of the future

HEALING THE HEALER!

Frequently as a person who is a natural or supernatural healer, helper, lover or supporter the become the people who are most hurt or damaged. What we often do not know is those counselors we see, psychiatrist and therapists are hurting listening to us ramble on and on about what we have going on in our life. They take on everything they go through life and everything we go through as well.

It is imperative that if you have someone in your like that counsels or ministers to you that you feed back into them. Know when to back off. Know when to counsel to them back. And most importantly give them reciprocity. Nothing is more disheartening to a person who advises and guides those with love then to never get that love back. It is all to often we do not show those who pour the love back into those who mentor us until its too late. One of my favorite Ministers is Joel Osteen and I quote him when I say Appreciation is when you "Learn to give Flowers while people are still living" Do not be that person that wakes up with regret because you never said simple things like Thank You, I Love You or I Appreciate You. 

It is also necessary that as a healer you have some grounded way to release. Purging negative thoughts, actions and feelings are the essential way to continue to be the best you that you can be. Whether you have a spiritual faith and pray to a divine being, meditate and become one with yourself or both. You must do something in order to alleviate the pain that we can internalize when healing others. 

Isaiah 40:31 

but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagle; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.
