Read the following bit of wisdom by renowned
Spiritual Leader, Iyanla Vanzant. “There is no greater battle in life than the
battle between the parts of you that want to be healed, and the parts of you
that are comfortable and content remaining broken.”
The above quote reminds me somewhat resetting a
leg (or arm) after it’s been dislocated. From my limited understanding, it can
be rather painful for the patient to have the messed-up bone pushed back into
its proper place.
This has to happen if there is any hope of the
bone healing normally. The pain of healing is absolutely necessary. In this
example, the injured person must make a decision for needed change.
To become all that God wishes us to be, we must
die to ourselves by moving outside our comfort zone to places of ministry that
the Heavenly Father can use all your talents (and abilities).
It can’t possibly be pleasant for a seed to
give up its familiar shell to create something greater than itself. (John
12:24-25) Farmers everywhere are thrilled that happens regularly (or we’d all
be starving)
Isaiah 41:10 (MSG) is a promise from the
Almighty that you can depend on during times of testing. “Don’t panic. I am with you. There’s no need to fear for I am your God.
I’ll give you strength. I’ll help you. I’ll hold you steady. Keep a firm grip
on you.”
