I Can Say That I Have Grown So Much Over The Years In My Walk With Jesus And My Heavenly Father. So Much Trial And Error I Have Faced, Yet If It Wasn't For The Experiences That I've Gone Through, I Don't Think I Would Have The Much Wisdom And Faith.
Here Are 3 Things That I Would Do Differently To Prevent Myself From Having So Much Trouble Throughout My Faith Journey.
I Would Avoid Creating Close Bonds With People That Had No Interest In Growing Their Relationship With God.
I Noticed That Whenever I Decided To Continue Into A Relationship Or Friendship With A Particular Person, My Convictions Began To Weaken. I Started To Do Certain Things And Say Certain Things That I Shouldn't Have. Straying Away From God Didn't Come All At Once But It Did Come Overtime.
Now, I Am Secure Enough In Myself To Stand Within My Boundaries. I Don't Have Feel Like I Am Going To Miss Out On Anything When I Decide To Not Pursue A Bond That Is Unequally Yoked.
- When You Keep Company With A Person Who Has No Interest With Growing Closer To God, You Lack That Accountability To Live More Like Christ. This Also Leaves Room For You To Get More Comfortable In Doing Stuff You Probably Shouldn't Be. -
I Would Look At Things At A More Spiritual Level.
I Didn't See Things As Deep As I See Them Now. No Matter The Circumstance, I Look At It As If My Life And My Purpose Depends On It. Recalling Everything In My Past Makes Me Realize How Much The Enemy Was Really Trying To Destroy Me And Kill My Destiny To Do The Work Of God. He Knew The More That He Can Get Me Carried Away From My Calling, The More Of A Chance He Had To Keep Me From Using The Light God Placed In Me.
Now, I Can Discern Whenever Someone Or Something Is A Test. I Use My Wisdom To Analyze What Season I Might Be In And What Trials I Have To Overcome. This Way Of Thinking Has Caused Me To Grow So Much In My Walk With God.
- Looking At Situations And People On More Of A Spiritual Level Gives You The Leverage To Make Better Decisions Based On Your Purpose & Moral Standards. You Can Keep In Mind How Something Could Effect Your Walk With God At A Higher Level. -
I Would Use My Imagination To Meditate On Scriptures.
Whenever I Used To Read The Bible, I Would Either Read The Words & Feel Convicted Or I Would Read Them & Go On About My Day. The Words Would Pierce My Heart But I Didn't Have An Urgency To Change. I Believe That Was Because I Didn't Use The Power Of My Imagination To Visual Myself Living According To What The Scriptures Were Saying. Hey! I Was Just A Young Lady That Didn't Know Anything About Living Righteously, Having Faith & Drawing Near To God. I Had No Thought Of What That Could Look Like.Now, I Meditate On What The Scriptures. I Put Myself In The Shoes Of The Person That God Desires For Me To Be And Move Accordingly. If God Tells Me To Have Faith, I Imagine Myself Being The Very Person That Doesn't Let Circumstances Cause Their Faith To Waver. If God Says He Works Within Me To Do His Good Pleasure, I Imagine Myself Being The Very Person That Is Being Used By God Even When It Makes Me Feel Uncomfortable. Now, I Can Say That I Am Truly Thankful For The Imagination God Has Gifted Me With.
- Using Your Imagination To Visualize Yourself Aligning With The Word Of God Gives You More Faith In Living According To What It Says. It Can Also Work On Your Heart To Convict You To Move Differently. -
That Is Why I Created A Journal For Those Who Struggle With Aligning Themselves With God's Word. I Wish I Would've Had Something Like The To Help Me When I Was First Starting My Journey With Following Christ.
