It is a beautiful morning to write blogs. A personal story before we go into what God wants to tell us. I’ve been praying for a particular breakthrough, and I got my answer yesterday and it was a No. Lol it paiiiinnned me ehn! I cried my eyes out because this is something I always wanted and I even made plans for but you know what? Our plans are not the the plans of the Lord, 1 Cor 2 gave me a better understanding, it is also the cheat paper to knowing what God’s plan for your life is. God’s plan for our lives do not just come like that o, we need to earn that revelation, it is the most important thing in life because therein lies our purpose bringing us one step closer to fulfilling it. So after I finished the water in my eyes I started to praise God because he knows better, when things don’t go your way praise God even though u may not feel like it. Trust him!! Totally ! His plans for us are of good and not of evil, bringing us to our expected end. It may not be what we hoped for but in the long run it is what is best for us. Trust God even when things fall apart because a building is demolished for a better building to be built. Now onto the matter:
The next in our breakthroughs in our journey back to being different,I call the awakening to regret. You look at your life one morning and realize that, for all your best efforts, you’ve made a mess of things. You’re filled with disappointment and remorse. And now that you see things more clearly, you’d love another chance. But you’re not sure you have it coming. Come to think of it, why would you?
But here’s the good part;
Inside each of us is the conviction that we came from goodness and love and that we’re made for more of it. When we hit bottom and realize what a mess we have made of this life, and what a mess life has made of us, our reaction is to say, “I wish I could start over.”
The beautiful thing is, you can start over. Your intuition about your origins in goodness and love is absolutely correct. God allows you to start over again.
Most of us, when we’re ready to start over, simply want to go back to the life we had before everything went south. But God has other ideas. He doesn’t just want to help us get back to that better life as we imagine it. He wants us to experience a different kind of life altogether. It’s not just your future that changes when you find your way back to God but your past and your present as well.
Are you ready to be done with living out a string of days with pain from the past, no purpose in your present, and no confidence about your future? Your journey away from regret and toward your home in God also takes you toward a deeper, truer life—the kind of life that invites you to start over today and begin living the way God always dreamed you could live . . . forever.
Scripture for Today: John 14.
God bless you.
