If I have learned one thing recently, it’s that sometimes to have true freedom you have to let go of everything that felt was right to move forward to explore what God’s bigger plan is for you.
An example: When my children were little I would always tell them not to touch the stove because it was hot and they would get burned. It wasn’t until they touched the stove did they learn from it.
Life is like a stove and sometimes the people we choose or feel are the one that was meant for us is not really the ‘hot’ we need in our life. They burn us. It’s up to us as children of God to see what he is trying to teach us.Sometimes it takes us longer to learn the lesson and we get burned on the stove a few times.
I have always told my closest friends, you don’t need a man in your life to be complete. There is a difference between Needs and Wants. You need shelter, food and water you only want a man.
We are human and sometimes we feel that is what we need to be complete in life, but it’s much deeper than that. We have to learn to love ourselves before we can love anyone else!
If you believe in God you know you are never alone because he is with you and never leaves you! We may not feel him around us all the time but all we have to do is be still and listen.
My life may not be what I want it to be at all times but it is how God has planned it and in his plan everything is as it should be. Until we are ready to let our lives be his we will continue to repeat the same mistakes over and over again until we learn from them.
Unfortunately there are some who will never learn this lesson because they would rather believe what they think their heart is telling them. But if they put it in God’s hands and ask him to open their eyes they won’t see which path they need to be traveling on.
Thank you so much for letting me share with you.
Have a Blessed Day
