ALIGN WITH GOD

We often pray for the will of God to be  done upon our life, but more often than not, we’re usually not ready for the outcome. Trials may prompt one to imagine of the life they deserve or rather where they ought to be; as a result, a person may assume that He or She is ready to move to the next chapter of their life whereas they’re operating from a place of anger, heartbreak, stress or disappointment.

Steps made out of pain are not only dangerous to those around you, but also self destructive. Unforgiveness will cause one to hurt innocent people unknowingly, and the more you hurt people, the worse you become. When you opt to do it your way rather than God’s way, you inflict more pain on yourself because you’re forcing things to suit your expectations and proving a point to people who don’t even care about you. You don’t have to live a lie and depressed just to impress people who will eventually abandon you when things fall apart. Don’t strain to live beyond your means to avoid mockery from family or friends. Don’t kill yourself trying to fit in the lives of people who take advantage of your miseries. God’s will for you is that you live a content, peaceful and joyful life with those around you, not a bitter life.

Hebrews 12:14-17 Esau sold his rights as the elder son for a single meal. Don’t allow a temporary state to lead you out of God’s will while you have the grace to wait. As you pray for His will, remember to pray for more grace to carry you through the waiting. The ways of God do not have shortcuts. He’s a God of order. 1 Corinthians 14:40 But all things must be done appropriately and in an orderly manner.

Therefore my brothers and sisters, whenever you pray, ask God to clear your imaginations and allow him to demolish all the castles you’ve built in the air. He will refill you with grace. 2 Corinthians: 9-10 ” but his answer was, My grace is all you need, for my power is strongest when you are weak.

The will of God is not what you expect from Him, (what you have at the back of your mind) but what He wants you to endure until you’re able to see the situation through his eyes. Sometimes you will remain where you are, till you’re able to see your enemies, oppressors or “terrible relatives” as God sees them. You must be willing to let the pain and release all those who hurt you. He will not let you move until you forgive and reconcile with people. Once you’ve healed, You gain God’s trust hence aligned to his will.

Hebrews 12:12, lift up your tired hands, then, and strengthen your tired knees! Keep walking on straight paths, so that the lame foot may not be disabled, but instead be healed.

HEALING BEYOND THE SCARS

When handling the vulnerable and broken people in the society, it’s important to carefully listen to them and avoid fitting their shoe. By this I mean thinking you can apply your past experience to heal them. Kindly don’t quote me wrong; ” It’s inorder to mentor an individual with similar experience as yours,”  but if you’re not careful, you may be tempted to treat them the same way you were treated towards your recovery process. You may also devalue a person, hence sympathize with them more than you should encourage. This can result to low self esteem if the person ain’t resilient. You need to offer positive emotional support and nourish their spiritual being which gives them a sense of belonging.  Embrace them while offering upward mobility; they need it most inorder to recover and bounce back.

Everyone has a story to tell, but not all experiences are the same. Your healing dimension may not necessarily work in another person’s case. You need to see beyond their pain. As you listen to them, you can grasp some positive attributes, strengths and untapped potential by probing more. Encourage them to focus on their interests and support them where need be. Giving them sympathetic speech will only worsen their state. Walk with them untill they’re strong enough to walk by themselves.

God sees beyond wounds and scars. He looks for the potential within an individual, that he can use to revive and awaken their consciousness. With genuine support, vulnerable people are able to pick themselves up, heal and become positive influencers in the society.

And to the broken hearts, sometimes you’re allowed to bloom alone when people prove to be difficult and insensitive. Don’t stay in a place where you are tolerated just to fit in. Your sanity matters alot. You will need it to walk through the days of your life. Go find yourself and trust the creator of the universe who holds all power.
