Days gone past when I was younger and will bed-wet and began to cover it up.
Days gone past when I was younger and will bed-wet and began to cover it up.
This one was a coded bedwetting o,not a consistent one.
I remembered I was very smart at hiding bedwetting until one day I was caught. That was my first year in higher institution. Oh ,I felt so shameful and bad. Thank God for brethren
.
.A turning point came when I had to understand it is not any spiritual attack. It is called nocturnal enuresis (involuntary urination during sleep). It's caused by hormonal imbalances, deep sleep or medical conditions.
My case wasn't a primary enuresis where it happened everyday,but may be 3 or 4 times a year. But it naturally stopped when I became more conscious of how not to sleep too much again. It faded biologically.
So when I noticed that in one of my children, I simply understand how to always control her sleeping style by waking to attend to it. I didn't allow that to make her feel so bad to lose her self esteem. I lost mine ,so I wouldn't allow that again in my house. By the time it stopped, the confidence in my children didn't go down.
And I discovered that most times, we feel so down most of the time because of the kind of people that surrounded us. If people close to us didn't build our confidence rather than mentally disciplining us for an involuntary offense. We may grow to become either aggressive or so moody.
When I looked about at some of people, I will smile and simply trace their behaviour back to their background. How people made them feel while they were younger forms the way they behave now unless Christ has totally broken them.
Now when I remembered people who once made me feel bad because of the limited mindset. I will laugh and tell myself that it's a different ball game now. Battles of life has made everyone of us to calm. And nothing should be able to move anyone of us now unless such hasn't been touched by life's battle. Now we have been built to some extent to face life squarely and to understand the race isn't to the swift. Never to be worried by anything again but face things squarely and win with God.
To people who still make people feel inferior.
To people who still make people feel bad.
To people who still look at others in a way that makes them feel less of themselves.
To people who still believe others can't make it.
To people who still think they are better than another person and can't show empathy.
I tell you clearly that you're not wise.
You are still operating under a very awkward mindset.
Tables do turn and when it turn, you won't know whether it is that former poor Lazarus you will see on the other side of the table.
Our times differ,so do good always unto all men and wait diligently for your time.
For those with entitlement mentality and go around feeling sad that people don't treat you well. You too are under serious mindset bondage. It is better you brace up and develop yourself so you too can be able to use the table when it turns.
May we be wiser. Amen
Stay blessed and learn how to treat people better than you met them.
