No, I love helping others.  It is in me and I can not help it.  I often help people without thinking a second thing about it.

I don't feel un apprieciated because says he loves me he will never leave nor forsake me.  The Rhema word from God is to look pass people. I see your heart, people see what they want to see, may even transfer there spirt or attitude toward you

Yes I have had those thoughts and I have overcome through prayer and reading the word of God. I helps and clarifies that what I am doing is not for mans approval but for Gods. I should stay focused on him and not what man thinks. He showes me each and every day how much he loves and appreciates me and that is more than enough. When we are worrying about what Man thinks then we are not focused on God. Keep looking forward to God.

Yes, there are many of times I felt un-appreciated but I had to realize that I was not serving man I was serving God. God appreciates me and love me and accepts me now and forever. So I changed my thinking by first putting the devil in his place by stating that I am appreciated by God. God sees me and what I do and He is the one who will reward me in this life and the life that is to come.

I'm pretty sure we've all dealt with that at some point.  When I did I would remind myself as to why I was doing whatever I did and of my own value.  It also helps when you know the heart of the person the service is being done for.

Encourage someone else; Read my journal of memories where people have said that they appreciated me, loved me, or what not...

5. Have you spiraled into the negative thinking, "No one appreciates me. No one even said thank you…", lately? If so, how did you change your thinking?

This negative state of mind has gotten me into a great deal of challenges. It is difficult when you are constantly doing and others are constantly finding something wrong with your serving. What I failed to do was see the correction as training and make the immediate adjustments. It doesn't matter if your leaders feel you need to sit and not serve for a season to be further trained or if the do not use you as much and you begin to feel unwanted and neglected. This mindset will cause you to miss your next opportunity to serve.
What I had to do is take what was shared and use the nuggets to improve my service. The first thing was to go back to
God who gave the assignment and ask Him if this is in His plan for me and if not how do I obey Him and those who have rule over me. They must come to agreement. Then sit with my leader to get clarity of what they wanted so that we remained in the power of agreememt and kept division out.
