Do you have problems with telling people No? Are you afraid that people won’t like you anymore if you tell them No? Do you help people out even when you don’t want to?
No, is one of the most powerful words in our vocabulary. It’s alright to tell people No. People don’t have a problem with telling you No. As a matter of fact, they will tell you No, and expect for you to always say yes. The bible teaches us to be meek not weak. God never called us to be door mats. People will try to use you because you are a Christian. For instance, if you tell them No; they will say, I thought you were a Christian. They try to play with your heart and emotions using that line, but don’t fall for it.
If you have a hard time saying No, practice saying this:
No, I can’t help you today.
No, I’m not going to let you keep using me.
No, I don’t have to settle for you
No, I can’t keep lending you money, I’m not the bank.
No, I can’t co-sign a loan for you, the bible says that’s foolishness.
No, you can’t stay in my house, I don’t run a hotel.
No, I refuse to take part in the auction lines at church described as offerings.
It may seem strange to say No at first, but keep practicing and it will become second nature.
Be blessed and continue to be a blessing.
