How do you know you’re on the right track, you’re dating the right person, you’re at the right job, you’re living in the right city? These are questions us humans ask all the time. We are always questioning something. I am questioning where I should live next, what I should do, what is the next step? I’m wondering if the things I’m doing now are right, if they are THE THING. What we need to know IF IT’S NOT THE THING IT WILL LEAD TO THE THING. It’s the cycle. If you’re not dating the right person or working at the right job it isn’t pointless, it isn’t for nothing. Everything leads to something. If you are at a job right now or a certain place in your life and you’re unsure, DON’T SWEAT IT.
NO MATTER WHERE YOU ARE IT WILL LEAD TO SOMETHING.
In college I was in an abusive relationship, which I didn’t know or understood it to be in that moment. That relationship led me bruised on the inside, it left me broken. I felt like I deserved and was worth nothing. I hated myself and blamed myself for allowing that relationship to happen. The truth is though that that painful THING LEAD TO A POSITIVE THING. After that relationship I was as far from God as possible. That summer when it ended I went to church and was offered a position to work there. That time period changed my life and redefined my relationship with God. If it wasn’t for that relationship I would have never felt the need to go back to God. I wouldn’t have gone to church that day; I wouldn’t have lead those 6 mission trips and had the opportunity to speak in front of hundreds of students. I was able to share my testimony one Sunday at church, that relationship added up to that moment. IT WASN’T THE RIGHT THING BUT IT BROUGHT ME TO WHAT WAS. It may take time to get to that thing that sets you free or grows you but IT WILL HAPPEN.
THROUGH THE PAIN OF WHAT WASN’T RIGHT I FOUND THE JOY OF WHAT WAS.
It’s all about the cycle. If the right thing came right away we wouldn’t appreciate it as much, we wouldn’t see it for the blessing that it was. It’s like when you grow up. You have to learn how to crawl before you walk and walk before you run. Once you begin to run you can go anywhere. STOP QUESTIONING YOUR LIFE AND START LOOKING FOR THE BLESSING. EMBRACE THE CRAWL BECAUSE THAT FORMS YOUR FOUNDATION.
THE THING WILL LEAD TO THE THING. THE PAIN WILL LEAD TO THE JOY. THE LESSON WILL LEAD TO THE BLESSING. TRUST THE CYCLE.
