Regarding my last post, I shared with you about my decision to make this year a year of purpose and contentment. Suddenly, I realised that in order for us to be mature and firm in our decisions we have to be radical about it.
Using our emotions won't help us to stay focus nor will it help us to assess a particular situation with clarity and intelligence.
I've realised that some of the choices I made had been very childish coming to think of it. Wanting things to be done my way, in my time and if it doesn't happen I would just forget about it and move on to something else.
It's not out of frustration but it's out of a desire to be perfect. I want things to be perfect, just how I imagined it. But since when do things actually happen like that? They don't. And I finally had the time to think to myself that it's time to be mature in my thoughts, in my decisions and don't allow my emotions to get the best of me.
I'm here to encourage you. It's ok to use your emotions at times, it's what makes us humans, but also don't give it too much power that it stops you from growing, stops you from going after your dreams or maybe blind you from seeing what God is trying to reveal to you right before your eyes.
It's a hard pill to swallow when we come to understand that things have to change in order for us to see the change, and so this was the verse that came to mind when the idea for this post came to mind:
"When I was a child, I spoke as a child. I understood as a child, I thought as a child; but when I became a man, I put away childish things." 1 Corinthians 13:11
It's time to put away childish ideas and behaviour. It is no longer "cute" to act childish in order to get what we want, it's time to be mature in our decisions and in our faith in order to see the fulfillment of the promises of God we want in our lives.
Until next time.
