A colleague at work asked me, “Why don’t you get angry?”
I smiled.
Close friends who knew me at least between 100 – 300 levels in the university would testify of the opposite.
The truth is that I have seen how God changes a man’s life and make what you once struggled with seem like it never existed.
You could want to agrue with me that I attribute everything to God, but that’s just the sincere truth. You have to submit what you’re struggling with to Him. I mean total submission in which you pass the baton to Him and watch.
However, while you pass the baton to Him, you must shift your focus. You must begin to focus on the things you want to build and ignore what you’re struggling with. Stop putting emphasis on your struggle. Rather, gather momentum on your strengths.
Along the line, you might remember the pain or fall back to the struggle, but you must get back on the track of choosing joy. The path of deliberately not remembering the things of the past. It wouldn’t be easy doing this, but that’s why we have the Holy Spirit. He will strengthen you as you ask Him to. It’s a joint partnership. Your effort + His effort = Total restoration/ healing.
A restoration that would seem like you never had a past where such thing was once a thorn in your flesh.
I trust the Lord to help you. I trust Him to give you wisdom and the peace you seek with yourself. I know who He is, and believe me, His hands are not short to reach you on that issue.
Just believe. Shalom.
