Day 17: Pity Party

Writer: JoniJoni



You are all INVITED to a

PITY PARTY.

Just bring your complaints.

Make a list of everything

that is going wrong in your life

and all the people who are or have wronged you

and everything that is going wrong in the world.

Oh what a PARTY we will have.

And when the PARTY is over

you get to leave the PARTY with a gift~

SELF PITY.

Would you want to come to my PARTY?

Actually you can have your own

PITY PARTY by yourself,

as sometimes they just happen without your knowing

until you realize that you are

dressed with

SELF PITY~.

Feeling sorry for oneself.

Victim mentality.

Defeatism.

Oh I am having my own PITY PARTY right now

and it is not so fun PARTY

because I didn't

INVITE JESUS

and without JESUS

hopelessness and helplessness are always the main guests.

How quickly I forget when

SELF PITY gets the best of me

because

SELF PITY loves to make you the victim

a prisoner to your own feelings, emotions, and circumstances

when SELF takes center stage.

Move over SELF

because

the main guest has arrived

because I have INVITED JESUS

into my PITY PARTY.

And when you

PUT HIM IN YOUR STORY

the SELF has to leave

and it takes PITY with it

because

JESUS is a gentleman

and HE wants everything that keeps you bound to

SELF PITY~

"Give all your worries, _________* (Put your name) and cares to GOD,

for HE cares about you,_________*" (I Peter 5:7)

Oh hopelessness has turned into HOPE

as JESUS did it once again

as HE always does when I take my eyes off of

MY SELF~

"I, _________*, have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation,

whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want.

I, _________*, can do all this through HIM who gives me strength" (Philippians 4:12-13).

So my friend

I am DIS~INVITING you to a

PITY PARTY

because

JESUS is

"IN THE HOUSE"
