What have you learned so far in life? Are your hurts, disappointments, or feelings of injustice reflective of others, yourself, or God?
If you wallow in the dirt of angry bitterness, you will stay there and never rise from the lesson you were meant to learn. You will begin to see the ugliness as a part of you, karma for the past, or continual justification that keeps you from seeking truth and learning how to navigate life with God.
Life is tricky. If you don’t analyze each situation for the truth of what it is in a non-accusing manner, your perception becomes skewed by a victim mentality that overshadows any opportunity to learn the lessons.
Without learned lessons in life, we become complacent, idle, stuck, and bored instead of living to higher expectations of growth within.
Today, evaluate if you’re wallowing around in life or growing in spite of the hurt, difficulties, and disappointments. It is time to tend your garden.
Ask Jesus what that means for you, how it looks, and for help to rise high above it all.
Begin by putting on the belt of truth and asking Jesus to point out satan’s lies, deceptions, and disturbing chaos so that you can pull out those weeds intertwined in your life. Let the growing begin!
As the deer longs for streams of water, so I long for you, O God. Psalm 42
