PITY PARTY CANCELLED

Ron Hutchcraft, in his daily devotional, asks us to stop having our own personal pity party and to look around and find someone else to help.

We all have the tendency to nurse our own wounds for much longer than necessary. I spent 20 years nursing mine, so I should be an expert in why NOT to hold daily pity parties. It's by far the most expensive type of party you will ever fund. It robs you of resources, energy and even life itself. When you are attending your own pity party, you are usually there alone, because it is the party no one else is interested in attending.

Think about it. If you are full of your own self pity, you are "full of pity" for yourself, therefore you are PITY-FULL, better known as PITIFUL. Is that how you want others to see you? Pitiful? Is that what you want to be: A PITIFUL HUMAN BEING?
