Are You A Runner Or Are You A Fighter
Many of us seem to be deterred when trouble arises, like the unnecessary troubles of the world that we feel like nope I’m going to fight to get away opposed to fighting through what comes.
I used to be that person, just running away from every ounce of problem because I just felt I did not have the capacity even to uphold myself during that uncomfortableness while also already dealing with an extremely uncomfortable season.
For me through a lot of seasons, I used to say “God I didn’t like how that made me feel. And I am upset that you even allow that hurt and pain to occur and then I’d play the traumatized victim roll “As you owe me, God, “Like God every time you allow it to come I leave angry and even more bitter”
Read and Learn More Prayers of Perseverance
And God sat me down in one season and said to me “You prayed these prayers and hate how it has to be received, thinking you know yourself better than the one who created you”.
I sat back like God woah, in that moment I had finally figured out what “God knows best” truly meant. God knows exactly how to open our eyes; he knows what we take seriously and he knows what we will play around with.
Comfortability causes a lot of time and laziness. You don’t fight when you’re locked in comfort, you lay around! The world is truly indecipherable.
No matter how hard we try to make it make sense, there will always be a big or small flaw within the theory.
Which is why the bible speaks about so many things to warn us. Many of us do not get how the bible works due to only having a surface vision as opposed to developing a more In-depth vision.
We run when we do not understand and when we begin to feel the conviction of the running, we become what many may say “attacked” and begin to become blasphemous.
And transgressing because we refuse to understand anything that is within the structure of correctness.
And we then begin to create the idea that they’re wrong and are attacking me for who I am opposed to you actually grasping the concept of being uncomfortable for a while to become better.
Of course, people shouldn’t judge you but there is a huge difference between opening your eyes and being corrected than actual judgment, and becoming closer to God will open your eyes to the difference.
To be completely honest, This is something I had to learn the hard way. Even if it is judgment, I had to sit back to evaluate am I actually wrong.
Because regardless of how the message was packaged, are they actually correct about me? So when we get corrected by someone we dislike or someone says something to us that we take offense to.
We tend to change the issue to the presentation as opposed to what I’m doing improperly, and if we open our bibles more we will know if what they presented to us was from the spirit of preference or if was it biblical!
We focus so much on it being delivered perfectly that we miss the lesson.
YOU HAVE NO CLUE HOW YOU NEED TO BE TAUGHT! YOU JUST KNOW HOW TO BE EMOTIONAL! You know what will satisfy your emotions as opposed to what is effective for you to change! Do you really know you?
But due to us living so offended we did not really want to dig deeper into what was God really trying to tell us. Anyone who has authority over you, FOLLOW DIRECTIONS! Because this will gain favor in their eyes.
The word slave yeah isn’t a term we want to be used, BUT if we are all honest with ourselves; whether you work for yourself or someone else you still must answer someone.
Self-employed people you still must answer clients and the government same with being regularly employed if you follow correct directions favor will always run your way.
Even when it does not come quickly enough it will come. You can’t give up mid-way and want your harvest. The Bible says in Galatians 6:9 And let us not be weary in well doing; for in due season we shall reap.
If we faint not” and be completely honest with yourself, is that you want respect, or is it that you dislike unknown structures and you have control issues?
Because mine was I had serious control issues and most of my control issues stemmed from things happening tragically out of my control.
So are you actually projecting traumatic control onto your life and the people in it? Because there’s a difference between creating imaginary drama between you.
And one person because you aren’t in charge and you dislike the orders they give, as opposed to someone actually doing you wrong. SO again Are you overcoming or are you running?
I had to learn that just because it was not my preference does not mean it is an actual issue. Sometimes what we think we need, is not what we need.
It’s extremely hard to let go and be wrong, it’s extremely hard to start over because we know what we are attached to is not gaining us it only maintains us, and it’s only a placeholder.
Maintaining placeholders isn’t bad, but it’s not the end game, and when you want more you must shake off some things about yourself to get the more you need and desire!
You can’t want better FOR you if you have yet to master a better you. Stop running and learn to push through.
