Some of us want certain things to be permanent. It really depends on what it is, since there are a gazillion (yeah thats the number i used) things that we want, desire, would like to see happen for our lives and others.
But what occurs inside some of us when the things they are desiring are actually starting to happen? Some of us stay and embrace what we have been waiting for. Some of us, like me, want to retreat. We can't close the deal. We are scared and afraid. And what for? More than likely (I know in my case), we are afraid of losing it. Of losing what we so desire for whatever reason. Of what is being handed to us from above to go arwy, get messed up, not work out without some sort of pain and hard work involved. We are in bondage, a salve to the fear of failing.
What if something we want and have desired is given to us, then taken away, however that may happen? That thing, whatever it is, comes crashing down right? We thought it was going to be so great, grand, and wonderful. And then in a heart beat ..... over, done, gone.
I'm not talking about seasons in life. I'm talking about embrasing the desires of your heart when they are actually given to you. Instead of running in fear of it being great, grand, and wonderful just to be let down in the end.
trust and betryal.
Thats what it comes down to. We were made to live in a trusting and secure environment.... check out the garden of eden (from where we are a far far, terribly far cry). But look what we are surrounded with. Brokeness.
AROUND US there are obscene amounts of brokeness.
but IN US .... Christ, the hope of glory. Let's get what is in, out and back in again.
