Elder Angela Morris shares a devotion by Rick Warren. So incline your ear to the word of the Lord. Lord open our ears to hear and turn our hearts to thee. If you or I want to grow, then saying 'No' is a lesson well learned. Amongst us are givers or takers, builders or destroyers, life givers or life drainers. We all carry weight in our lives. Some more than others hence toxic and attaching themselves because you've been blindsided by Yes when your Yes, should have been a No. Let's be honest I'm one of them and have knocked my head more than once and maybe you too. Sometimes we bite off more than we can chew and when we get to the end of our rope, it destroys your health, your sanity and threatens marriages, family and business. In reality what happened to you? That once sold out became a drop out, the fire inside of you became low and this to whom you said Yes, sat back and watch you side tracked. You might hate saying 'No', but it could lead you on the road of feeling Powerful rather than destructive. You and I are not Superwomen and setting boundaries and saying No is a good thing. Saying no, even if its the hardest thing to do, frees me and you to saying 'Yes' to what really matters. And that's a beautiful thing. Distractions and weights are everywhere even close to home. May God give us the Courage to say 'No' to time wasters and things that are keeping us from saying 'Yes' to the Best that God has for you and me. Let your Yes be Yes and your No be No. Let those whom you say No, receive it in love and move on. In His Love and Grace. \n\n--- \n\nSend in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/into-the-garden/message
