sometimes, it is not about winning or losing but paying the cost that a relationship requires going forward. Sometimes you cannot help but look stupid, but sometimes the investment required in furthering a relationship requires you to look stupid. Are you willing to pay the cost of loving someone else. Even if it humbles your pride? Some people and some things are worth being brought low, going through stress and failure. Why? Because they are valuable and worth the sacrifice.
Even more than that, you may not receive anything in return for that sacrifice and humiliation….but it still may be worth it to do so anyway. What you gain: What you learn from the experience and what development you get from the journey may grow you in maturity 10-20 years in a short period of time, even though it may be emotionally painful at the time. You have to be willing to love anyway and stay true to the course God has placed you on. It’s not all sweetness and light on this journey, and sometimes you need the pain in order to deepen your perspective.
“Just don’t wallow in it. There is a place for pain, but also for joy and happiness. Don’t live in those dark places, even though you must visit them. Only stay a course if I tell you to do so….but also have enough sense to get away from relationships that are not healthy or helping you. But valuable relationships that have some pain to them are good.
Be Thankful for what you have had, and the road you have traveled. It is much better than it seems. The problem comes when you have a bunch of expectations you get into your heart and head. Then you are spending your energy and time dealing with THAT instead of going forward into the purposes I have called you forth for. You may actually doubt this, but you have done much better at these things than you give yourself credit for. People have a much better opinion of you than you have of yourself and you are far less the problem than the answer. it just doesn’t seem like that at the moment. Be willing to learn to be at peace, to act with wisdom and to walk with patience and faith in my working power.
Do not believe the words that you are foolish or lack wisdom. Men say things like this all of the time, but I am the only judge. Come to me for true judgment on who you really are and cast aside the judgments of men. Someday they will be called to account for the name calling and unrighteous judgment they have hurled upon you and you them. Keep THAT in mind.
Do not let false words and judgments dominate your thinking. Let my light invade your soul and bring a revealing to the real you….not the you people want you to be. Step up and Step in…..but to what I have for you, not what others would make of you. See it.”
I have a lot to learn, and I am weary. But I will pay the cost of following you. I will learn to be Adam. I long to be in this quiet place, and to let the past be the past. To lay my mistakes and my pains on the altar and continue forward by your grace. To let all my life be a service unto his majesty. A poem of loveliness and beauty, of quietness and rest and most of all wisdom of My Lord and Savior. Let it be so in Me. Help me to get past these things.
