There is an "order" to life. Break that order, and your life will feel broken.
You may take five steps forward, but until you learn the lesson, you'll be brought back to Step One, every time.
The challenge is in your face. You've tried to move on, but it hasn't been easy. In fact, each day seems harder and harder and as time goes on, your spirit feels like a 1000 lb. barbell, heavy and sad. So what's going on?
The problem is, you've tried to move on without first addressing your issue(s). Until you do, you'll never learn and grow from your mistakes. You'll just stay stuck in one place! AND...you'll be brought BACK to that place, as many times as it takes, until you learn the lesson. It is for your own good. Never to hurt us.
Life really is our friend, when we don't fight it. The challenges only there, to help us learn and grow. But we keep swimming against the current, then wonder why we never get anywhere.
Run all you want. You can certainly stuff all your hurts inside a special folder and file them away for a more convenient day, but the problem with that, is that YOU may think you've forgotten them...yet they're actively nagging away at your conscious...until you address them head on. That's just the way we're wired, try as we may to deny or avoid that. This is what happens without settling a matter. There is no closure = no moving on = misery and depression.
You THINK you've taken five steps forward, but that's only physically. Emotionally, your still at square one. You CAN'T advance to square 5 and feel content, until you've settled the issues you had at square one. That's just not possible. Oh, you COULD, but 10 years later, you'll wonder why you still feel miserable. All those hurts you thought you so carefully filed away, may be dusty, but trust me... they're still waiting for your attention.
There is an "order" to life. Break that order, and your life will feel broken. Success comes from facing each challenge head on, then move on to the next. Life is a series of challenges for our good...so we can mature, learn, and grow. When we know better, we certainly do better. What we don't like, thank God, He gave us the ability to change, along with perseverance, by changing our perspective and mind. He never said it would be easy; He said he'd be with us and see us through, and He does. And I truthfully have found there's no wiser friend and Guide, than somebody who has been there, done that, and knows all the ropes...here and beyond...my friend, Jesus. So I never resent challenges. I know God is always looking out for my good and has my best interest at heart. The challenges do nothing but teach us a plethora of valuable lessons, from which we draw so many personal treasures, that we can use to help others. None, ever wasted. The Truth...God's standards and values, truly set us free in body, mind, and Spirit. That's why they were put in place. They work.
1. When storm clouds rise, don't panic! Stop and pray.
2. Prayer is the portal to God. He's waiting on your call, so he can help.
3. Once you've prayed, keep the faith. It activates action from God, on your behalf. Then thank him for his love, care, and what he's about to do for you.
