Renewed Mindset
I used to hate the feeling aching muscles. Now I actually like it. Pain will never feel good, but knowing the conseqences (muscle repair causes growth, growth increases strength along with a ton other health benefits) and seeing the results, I actually cheerish it. I feel as if I'm lacking something if my body it's aching. No pain means no chance for repair, and no chance of growth. As an army buddy of mine likes saying: "Pain is weakness leaving your body."
Likewise with the troubles of life. When you feel stretched, when trials test you, when you feel pain - cheerish it, it's a sign of potential growth. Character and spiritual maturity are getting a good workout. Jesus is your spotter, He lets you feel the pain but lifts the weight for you when you can't take anymore.
Constant pain is not a reason to feel crap or depressed.
It is needed for constant growth. Praise be to God.
I said "somehow" bcuz there is js no somehow from God.Lately everything that im getting from God has been clear.
Desert
Thus Time of being set apart
Time of Pruning
Trust - even all we've learnt from everyone we've come in contact with is that they all let us down at some point one way or another
Learning to be faithful - God 1st said He'll heal me of my faithlessness
- now, learning how important it is to be faithful
faithful in believing in God's promises, love , goodness , kindness and soverignty
faithful to my commitments, faithful to people , faithful to the things i say and the thing i say i'll do.
Lately, apart from the pain of having the things i sowed during my youth catching up with me
another pain which is think is good is doing things of the spirit instead of the flesh.
Trying my best to follow the Holy Spirit's promptings instead of ignoring and arguing back lyk i used to. Found out now that i was so foolish and that God really only tells us to do something that is for our best of interest.
Like everyone says, it actually hurts! It feels uncomfortable when we do things which are led by the spirit and out of the norm but its for the best. and the outcome is actually better than choosing to cater to our flesh.
We reap what we sow, never been more evident in my life than ever now..
So i'm just tryin to sow as much good things as i can now.
