There is a world people can build inside themselves. A world called self-pity.
Self-pity says: “Nobody understands me.” “Nobody sees what I have suffered.” “Nobody appreciates me.” “Look at everything that has happened to me.”
Now, there are real difficulties in life. People go through painful experiences. People have been hurt, but there is a difference between acknowledging pain and building your identity around pain.
Self-pity keeps bringing you back to yourself.
Everything becomes about your disappointment. Everything becomes about what people did to you. Everything becomes about what you did not receive. And slowly, you become trapped in a world where you are always the victim.
Look at Elijah. After Jezebel threatened him, he ran away and sat under a tree. When God asked him what he was doing there, Elijah answered by focusing on himself.
He said he had been very jealous for the Lord, but he was the only one left (1 Kings 19:10)
But Elijah was not seeing the situation correctly. God still had people, and He was still working.
The problem was not that Elijah had experienced difficulty. The problem was that his pain had become his entire perspective.
Self-pity can make you forget God’s bigger picture. It can make you abandon your assignment.
You must burn down that world — not because your pain is fake, but because your pain cannot become your master.
You are not only what happened to you. You are not only what people did to you. You are a child of God with a purpose.
Do not allow self-pity to become a place you live. God has more for you than constantly looking at yourself and your wounds.
