Boot On Your Neck

Greetings good people! Pray all is well today, raining up here in NY, cold 58 degrees. Blessed to be alive so I won't complain, today I want to talk about how sometimes we go through certain situations, grow and try our best to be better. Yet sometimes you have groups of people, family, friends, etc, who won't let you grow. Now I firmly believe that if you make your bed, you have to sleep in it. I also believe in the redeeming power of forgiveness and growing. It's like when a new Christian who may have been in the streets, has to deal with those around him or her who say, "oh you think you better now", "or you haven't really changed." It's a hard struggle, but I'm here to say in whatever your case or situation is, remove the boot from your neck. You have the right to change your life for the better. Sometimes we have to remove ourselves from certain situations, and people, and start fresh. As hard as it may be to get away from what you're used to, it's usually for the better. People can only keep you down, if you let them, they can only berate you, if you let them. They can only suck your energy and your life away if you let them. I try to see the good in everyone, knowing that there isn't anyone without sin. Some choose to believe that there are greater sins then others, but they aren't. We ALL have fallen short of the glory. The mistakes in your life, don't allow those around you to make you re-live those mistakes over and over again. You have the power to say no. You have the power to choose to be better. You have the power to change your life! Get that boot off your neck!!
