Self Pity

BE ON GUARD against the pit of self-pity.

When you are weary or unwell, this demonic trap is the greatest danger you face.

Don't even go near the edge of the pit.

Its edges crumble easily, and before you know it, you are on the way down.

It is ever so much harder to get out of the pit than to keep a safe distance from it.

That is why I tell you to be on guard.

There are several ways to protect yourself from self-pity.

When you are occupied with praising and thanking Me, it is impossible to feel sorry for yourself.

Also, the closer you live to Me, the more distance there is between you and the pit.

Live in the Light of My Presence by fixing your eyes on Me.

Then you will be able to run with endurance the race that is set before you, without stumbling or falling.

Stay Strong

"Blessed are those who have learned to acclaim you, who walk in the light of your presence, O LORD."
