I don't want to be spoon-fed other people's perceptions. —@Tone
Yesterday was very interesting. I spend the majority of my time in the Single's forum. But I ventured a little further. The comment I quoted articulated my experiences. It wasn't the usual discourse or idea exchange. There was a demonstrative want to alter perceptions and the methods used were shocking. Guilt, shame, accusations, and so on. How did we get here?
God provided the comeback. I woke this morning to powerful messages nestled at the top of my feed. They were impossible to miss and I shared a couple. It reinforced the page He wants me on. Not what the world thinks or a stranger's idea.
This is My benchmark for you bella and that's all that matters.
There's a danger of surrounding yourself with people with limited thinking. They can't see beyond themselves. They're apt to view you in a similar light. They're the first to tell you no, it can't be done, or that's too much. They don't believe in possibilities.
They quote the scriptures and go through the motions. But for a people who believe in an Omnipotent, Omnipresent, and Omniscient God; there's a lot of limited thinking in Christian circles.
I lift up my eyes to the hills. From where does my help come? My help comes from the LORD, who made heaven and earth. —Psalm 121:1-2
Before you throw in the towel you'd better check with Him. Don't ask your neighbor. Talk to God first. You need His benchmark. That's the standard you're chasing. Not the measure the world assigns.
Once you discover His standard find others who feel the same and walk with them. You'll accomplish great things in the right company. You need people who believe in you and know all things are possible through Him. And it isn't a quote. It's their reality.
I knew something broke open in the heavenlies. I felt the shift and elevation. I noticed the influx when I began admitting certain things openly. But I didn't imagine He'd turn up the volume. That's what He's done.
No wonder I'm craving certain music and acknowledging a vibe I hadn't felt for awhile. He's stoking the hunger inside of me. It isn't raging as it has in the past. I've slowed my pace. That's the reason I'm struggling. I'm not accustomed to this tempo.
I reduced my output to accommodate school. But God didn't tell me to do that. He can quicken the pace if He wants. I don't have to stop. I need to tune my ear to the Metronome and stay with Him.
How fast. How far. How high. Take the limit off yourself.
What a wonderful reminder. As the title says...It Was Meant 2 B.
