Did it turn out like you planned- this ride you are on? Or no? Did you plan for every crevice and creek and edge and prepare sufficiently? OH! You did? Wait- if I am hearing correctly- What!?!? You mean there were still curveballs you had not even anticipated? Your new experiences brought understanding for repeat and similar cycles, you say..Why of course! Did you know that this would change your life in the way it did? Could you have ever even imagined?
I don't think you could. You could not have imagined, had you not experienced this...
So tell me, what happened when you didn't prepare, when you didn't seek.....
what.
It crumpled you!?!
You forgot how to use it to empower you...You forgot that it would end and you did what?!?!? How could you forget how temporary that part would be, no matter how many times, in how many ways, it hits! So direly, direly temporary.. But it kept beating you down? Perhaps this is but an extended lesson plan to better empower you..to empower you to impact lives without number and escalate the joy you are near to receive- unless you let it beat you down.
Don't tell me that. Think clearer now, you CAN escape- why, don't you know that you can escape everyday through Jesus Christ, to your Creator- to the Almighty God of Heaven and Earth, of galaxies without number. He knows you very, very, VERY, very well (VERY!!!!). You just need to do everything within your capacity to exercise faith in his power.. you WILL see the beauty of this life unfold for you. I do every day.
That's how you got here, where you are. That's how you ended up with more than you thought you bargained for, and yet WAY more than you hoped for also. Always remember that.
