This is our B moment. Our moment to be still…to be fed by the Word of God…to be grateful.

Scripture reference: Matthew 7:24-25 (NIV)

Today I am thinking about how I can give away my power. I think this mostly happens when someone hurts me, and I didn’t see it coming.  The first thing I experience is shock. I’m shocked that the incident even happened, and I’m also likely shocked that it came from the person that it did.

The second thing I experience is preoccupation.  I will replay the incident in my mind, over and over again.  I will also likely call others to share my hurt feelings.  I go to bed with these hurt feelings, and I wake up with them.  All of this depletes my power.

This is not to imply that I shouldn’t nurture my hurt feelings.  But, I’ve learned there’s a difference between nurturing my feelings, and becoming completely consumed by them.

I learned a very valuable lesson years ago about giving away my power.  A person who I worked with offended me.  Initially, I gave away my power to this person nearly every time I was in her presence.  I could feel my personal energy shift as soon as she entered the room.  I feared her next move, and would become totally preoccupied with what she might say or do next.

I was truly giving away my power at this time, because I was giving this person far more power over me than they actually had.  The more I realized that as long as I fulfilled my responsibilities and that God had the final say over my fate and not her, I slowly but surely regained my power.

The Words that I also use to teach me are, “Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock.” Matthew 7:24-25 (NIV)

Share this B Moment because others desire to be inspired.

So today, hold on to your power.
