Waiting To Blossom

Acceptance

In life things don't always go the way we want or plan them to go. I have known this all my life and have always accepted it. Why must I go thru this or that or LORD why put them in my path only to be going through this heartbreak. I have never felt nor experienced anything this disheartening. I often wonder if I go through these things so that my kids won't have to. Why me, is a question that I ask every day of my life. But let me ask you this. Would you rather live life with everything you have ever wanted and without bad times, not knowing true loss, suffering or struggle, then when you are in your 40's BAM! How would that person handle it, could they handle it? Maybe when I reach that point of comfort and happiness, I will cherish and appreciate it more than the next. Sometimes in life it seems as if the universe rewards the "undeserving", but who are we to judge whether someone is worthy or unworthy. Too many times we often compare ourselves or our situation to the next person's success or what they present on social media. "SMOKE AND MIRRORS"
Trouble doesn't always last long. The righteous will always prevail. Nothing worthwhile is ever easily obtained. Proverbs chapter 24 verse 16 says, " for though the righteous fall seven times, they rise again, but the wicked stumble when calamity strikes. It's so easy to fall into the sinful and carnal nature. Especially when things never seem to go right for you or the enemy is always at your heels. But if the enemy doesn't bother you then he already has you right where he wants you. If GOD were to bless you with all of your hearts desires right now, would you cherish and appreciate it or squander it like the prodigal son? Whatever pain or regret or whatever negative feelings or thoughts that you are holding onto, LET IT GO! I want you as well as me to be in a state of mind to receive and cherish the blessings to come. I know it's hard, as I type this I am angry, upset, sad, hurt, numb, confused, frustrated, depressed, and in turmoil mentally. But my savior Jesus Christ was mocked, spit on, beaten unmercifully and killed and all He ever did was love and spread The Word of His FATHER. OUR FATHER. The pain we are experiencing, either we can let it continue to defeat us or we can give it to HIM. I don't lie to myself I know it's only one set of footprints in the sand, because I have no doubt that HE is carrying me through this process. Without HIM I am nothing, with HIM everything is possible.
