You don’t doubt in the Darkness, what God has given you in the Light.
Hi guys,
You don’t doubt in the darkness, what God has given to you in the light.
I’ll share exactly what I mean, please walk with me..
I lost my phone a day before Christmas, (talk about Detty December and all. Heh. )
Sadly, I didn’t back up most of my files, so I lost things very important to me. I was sad and down for days, I couldn’t believe I just lost most of what I had not even launched yet.
Ha! I wanted to stay strong, my Spirit wanted to, yet everytime I felt I was finally letting them go, I’d start drowning in regret and sadness, again.
My thoughts were taking me on journeys I weren’t interested in, making me doubt everything I was doing with my pen.
I thought of taking a chill pill and just resting. I didn’t know where to start from, nor how to start.
That wasn’t healthy one bit, not to me and not to the people around me.
This happened for some days until I realized that I choose how to react to situations. Yes, that happened, now I have to make a decision on how to react to this.
No one can make someone feel a certain way. People and situations may provoke us, but it’s up to us how to respond, not the other person or the situation.
In my case, I realized that I had to make a decision to choose how to feel or react or respond. I decided to choose Joy and lean on the fact that nothing happens to me without God knowing.
So I discarded the feeling of hurt, anger, sadness and self pity. I had to turn every negative feeling over to God so I could truly be healed and free.
I chose to believe. I chose to trust God.
Trusting God despite how my head debated the whole thing, was a different kind of Faith. My head didn’t feel like trusting, yet my heart really wanted to, yet I chose to, and choosing to do what I didn’t feel like doing was me calling it forth as though it were. That is faith. I was calling forth trust by making a decision to trust.
I chose God’s Spirit and fruits over how my emotions dragged my thoughts. I had to not let them win. I had to cast them down over to God. I professed my faith and trust in God. I professed the fruits of God’s Spirit. I called things forth.
The level of growth I felt myself adapting to, thrilled me.
At some point, I learnt something I might never have figured out anywhere else.
I was taught by God.
Trials work perfection in us.
Jas.1.2 – Dear brothers and sisters, whenever trouble comes your way, let it be an opportunity for joy.
Jas.1.3 – For when your faith is tested, your endurance has a chance to grow.
Jas.1.4 – So let it grow, for when your endurance is fully developed, you will be strong in character and ready for anything. 
It might not have been God’s plan originally, but God uses Wisdom to turn every situation I go through into good for me.
I love God, even the odds favour me.
Rom.8.28 – “And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them.”
Have you ever gone through any trying period which left you numb and really saddened you?
How did you come out of it?
Did you learn anything during the process? I’d love to hear from you.
Remember, I’m available for discussions. Send me a message via my email address, anytime.
Thank you!
I love you, and God loves you even better.
Stay beautiful.
