You are nobody’s doormat… fix that – Try this | AWAYION BEAUTY

Hi, Friends!

Have you ever felt like a doormat? Are you always worried about hurting someone’s feelings? Only to realize they ignore your feelings, then wild firey emotions of anger (maybe disappointment) erupt inside of you?

Perplexed, you can’t comprehend why you are always trying to be “the bigger person.” Meanwhile, they bask in being the lesser.

If you are experiencing this, you are a doormat.

What can you do?

In this post, you will discover effortless ways to stop being a doormat. Because every girl in Christ should be the head and not the tail.

Super Awesome Side Note: The term “doormat” is also used figuratively to describe people who allow themselves to be (figuratively) walked on by others; that is, a doormat allows himself or herself to be abused, disparaged, or taken advantage of without mounting a defense. (Gotquestions.org, 2020).

Super Psst… the big secret I’ve been hinting around on social media for a few months now is revealed… (it’s why I have been MIA for a bit…). Read on after this post for the juicy details.

*Disclaimer: These tips could be helpful. Especially if you are a believer in Christ. Always do further research. The sources for this or any post do not equal a full endorsement of any ministry or evangelist’s personal views by Awayion.com.***

TL:DR A quick post glance:

  1. Acknowledge your real worth (non-doormat status)
  2. Obliterate bitterness
  3. Seek justice (the godly way)

Sound juicy? Okay, Ladies. Let’s start!

1. Acknowledge your real worth (non-doormat status)

To avoid being treated like a doormat, you must first recognize your own value.

You are of high worth, having been created in the divine image of our Heavenly Father. You are a daughter of the most high living Creator of all things, tangible and intangible. And made free and righteous because of the enormous sacrifice His Son Messiah Yeshua made on your behalf. That said, your estimated valuation is far from doormat status.

Research  Genesis 1:27, Romans 8:31, John 3:16, 2 Corinthians 5:21, Genesis 1:1

2. Obliterate bitterness

Eradicate any lingering bitterness once you understand your worth, so you can stop being a doormat.

Messiah Yeshua is far from being a doormat. He had a reputation for being brutally honest and never hesitated to call a spade a spade. He was always straightforward, refusing to let bitterness consume him. Of course, you don’t have to take my word for it. Our Messiah delivered a scathing rebuke to His antagonists, naming them after animals that personified their negative qualities.

How can you eliminate the root of bitterness caused by allowing others to walk all over you? Before deciding, it’s important to ask our Heavenly Father for wisdom and discernment. If someone (aka a bro or sis in christ) offends you, speak up and let them know. Please understand that exposing someone’s transgressions requires careful consideration and tactful communication.

That being said, there’s a common answer for dealing with offense which is called “Turning the other cheek.” Think twice before doing so. “Turning the other cheek” means something different from what we think now. (Psst… Look it up.). We should tell a Christian when they’ve done wrong, so they can fix it. Worldly people can masquerade as fools, so you have to ask The Father and read The Living Word for strategies to crush roots of bitterness invoked by them.

Research ❤ Luke 17:3-4, Matthew 18:15, Leviticus 19:17-18, Philippians 2:14–15, Proverbs 26:4, Galatians 6:1, Titus 3:10 

3. Seek justice (the godly way)

doormat

Once bitterness is no longer a part of your life, seek justice in a manner that honors your beliefs and prevents others from treating you as a doormat.

So what does that look like? Harboring bitterness will only hinder your progress. Forgive your antagonist and ask for forgiveness. Talk to our Creator about your antagonist — He will listen to your prayers. This is how you seek justice and win in the heavenly courts.

If you want the Heavenly Father to fight your battles, forgiveness is a must. Once you forgive its game over for your antagonist. Have you heard the Father say in His Word, “Vengeance is Mine. I will repay.”? If so, you know what I mean when I say “it’s game over for them.”

Now, to win fiery (doormat) battles, your assertiveness and boldness must arise. If you lack these characteristics, you will stay a doormat. There is still hope; Our Heavenly Father can empower you to be more assertive and bold if you ask Him. Remember, the righteous are bold as a lion — and a lion is a king, not a doormat.

Research  Romans 12:19, Deuteronomy 32:35, Nahum 1:2, Proverbs 28:1, Joshua 1:9, Isaiah 41:10,Deuteronomy 31:8, Jeremiah 32:40, Matthew 6:14, Mark 11:25
