Oh yes, He uses the base things to confound the wise - you can be used for His glory at any time. The gifts only need clean vessels; in fact some of our gifts are like second nature - manifesting without much effort. One of the ways God has shown up is by giving me His promises for tough people and tough situations. In my devotions about a week ago, there was a reference to Lev 19:33, Exo 22:21 & Deut. 10:19. I found it so profound, because 3 times the Lord gave them the same instruction. It instructed the Israelites how they should treat others, and I then realized how important it was for me to be careful of the spaces that I go into and if I'm not treated with respect, then I'm gonna choose me. So, if it means that people can't respect me, treat me well and or love me, then I'm leaving. This is an integral part of the healing for me, because if I allow/accept disrespect, then it will hinder my healing and growth. Lev 19:33 - And if a stranger sojourn with thee in your land, ye shall not vex him. Exo 22:21 - Thou shalt neither vex a stranger, nor oppress him: for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt. Deut. 10:19 - Love ye therefore the stranger: for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt.

@Michelle Derrick Wow, look at God

Happy Monday. I'm great, was somewhat traumatized from Friday afternoon but I'm good now. I've now grasped the concept that people's thought process/mindset, attitudes, behaviour etc is on them. I don't need to be perplexed, distressed at it, no longer need any apology when people behave in their character, because that's on them, their mindset and their thoughts. I'm experiencing growth, freedom to trust my God and live a good life. My heart is pure.

I told God about it on Sunday morning in my extended devotions. I'm happy for the pace and the process God is taking me through. Absolutely beautiful, wish I had known these strategies before I would 've been a great powerhouse.

One moment I think I've attained a certain level and think I'm fine, then I find I have another area to work on, but I'm grateful to God for his guidance, grace, favour and blessings in seeing me through. I realize his loving care, patience with me and that he wants to see me win and help me win. I'm learning to appreciate various strategies, when to use them and the success and progress they bring. I do experience times of despair, hopelessness and distress but they are rare, and I generally find that its afterwards that I am able to put a name on it, cause I'm so occupied that its not that bad. I'm thankful that I'm not venting aloud any more when I'm upset, perplexed or annoyed - there's is this calm and peace even when others do me wrong, try to disrespect me etc. Its a tough process but I'm happy that its me and my Jesus that is going through this journey and I'm assured of the victory. Quite a bit, but yes, that's where I am at.

The success and growth in my healing process
