Unsticking the Labels We Attach to Ourselves

In the video above several great ideas are shown for removing labels from jars. With a little bit of work the labels are gone and the jar is shiny and new looking. Wouldn't it be wonderful if removing the labels we attach to ourselves were as easy to get rid of? Many times in life when things go wrong we tend to view our situations as an extension of who we are. Bad things wouldn't happen if we were wiser, better at managing our money or kinder to other people. When we are in the midst of difficulty, especially the kind that gets worse the  harder we try to fix it, we tend to fall into the trap of labeling ourselves as stupid, incapable, not worthy.....the list goes on and on. These labels then can become self-prophesies that can inhibit our progress and our spiritual walk with God. However, the truth is, we are none of those things we want to label ourselves as. We are in fact children of God who are in a difficult situation and in need of His tender love and guidance. If we seek his love and mercy we can find peace among the chaos  and difficulties in our lives.

God doesn't want us to go about our life on our own. He wants to be involved and to help us along the path he has for us.
