Blessings,
A couple of days ago I was on the phone to my friend recanting, how due to various circumstances, my life came to a standstill some what a couple of months ago, and I had to evaluate where my next step was going to be. The details surrounding the incident are not that important, however I'm sure we've all been in situations where we've felt forsaken, depressed, and almost betrayed. We've worked so hard, and wanted it so badly, but still to no avail, nothing materialises. Well this is exactly what happened to me, and I was lost for a while.
For days I wouldn't speak to anyone on my phone except for the select few, and even the select few didn't get much out of me. But the person who I really didn't want to speak to is God, the most high. I felt he'd betrayed me and left me in a situation where I now had no direction and didn't know where to go, and so I wasn't interested in what he, or anyone proclaiming to speak for him, had to say.
BUT. During the midst of this period, I had particular friends, trying to show me alternatives, and family members saying this is but a small problem, in greater things to come. But I couldn't see it, and I didn't want to see it. Because it hurt. It hurt bad. However hope began to spring forth, and after hope came, I could see a possible opening, a road maybe, a direction to where I could go. So I decided to walk down it as I had nothing else to loose.
Fast forward two months, and I'm in the position where it takes people almost a year to be in. I'm in a place where if I was to think logically, it shouldn't have happened so quickly. So the only explanation I can think of is GRACE. Grace is simply defined as "unmerited, undeserved favour" And that's exactly what got me to the place where I'm at now.
I do not detract the work that I had to do to help me get along to the place, but when you have Grace walking in front of you, clearing the rubbish and obstacles out the way, it leaves the work you have to do, a lot easier, if it wasn't there. So I'm simply saying this to say, that in every situation you may find yourself in, God always allows for a way out, it's just that we need the faith to believe. But the real lesson in this story is that the way out, might not seem at first glance the most logical, the most straight forward, or the most comfortable way out. But do we have the faith to believe that it will work?
Well speaking from experience I implore you walk on faith, in faith, and Grace will always follow you. There is a beautiful verse which sums this blog up. 2 Corinthians 12:9.
Remember there is greater things to come in all of us
Peace Out
