This may sound odd to you, but I've been thinking about words lately like sad, lost, amazed, extravagant, and others. I came across one recently "toxic." I think of how people can be "toxic" to each other, words are "toxic," and reactions can be "toxic." Then I started to really wonder what this word REALLY means.
So, I looked it up and found this: from the Webster Online Dictionary.
Toxic
1: containing or being poisonous material especially when capable of causing death or serious debilitation <toxic waste> <a toxic radioactive gas> <an insecticide highly toxic to birds>
2: exhibiting symptoms of infection or toxicosis <the patient became toxic two days later>
3: extremely harsh, malicious, or harmful <toxic sarcasm>
I had to laugh because we have a lot of toxins in our life per the last definition (3). I remember times when people weren't nice to me and I accepted their words of 'toxic sarcasm' as the truth. Being that these words became life to me means that this 'toxicosis' started living inside of me and got my panties in a wad.
Not feeling good now, so what do I do to release these toxins? I have found that when I cry, I release toxins. I honestly release toxins when I let go of the toxic sarcasms from people in my life. I hand these poisonous people and comments over to the Lord.
WOW, I feel so much better. I even think I've lost five pounds just from giving this over to God.
You see, I had so many fears of people, places and things, tormented over situations that happened to me, and hated myself for the way I looked, sounded, or acted sometimes. But then it happened one day. I made a decision to follow the One that is Perfect in every way. It took some time, but over a few days, months, weeks, and years I became free from toxic situations, people, places, and things that had my insides in a knot ALL THE TIME. Oh, this Perfect One, is Jesus Christ.
Do you know He died on a cross? Do you know why He died on a cross? Do you know what His last words were on the cross? He died for you and me while we are still in our mess. His last words were "it is finished." Now you may ask "what is finished?" We are, you and me. He died so that when we accept Him and He lives in us, we are complete in Him. Complete=finished. We don't have to carry the weight of the world on our shoulders; He did it for us by carrying the cross.
Who tells you that you are worthless? Who wants to steal your joy? Kill your happiness? Destroy your family? The number one enemy of me and you, Satan.
Look he's alive and sending demonic assignments against you by his homies; like a gangsta mob leader would. You don't have to take it anymore. You can be free from these weights from chains that are around your neck.
