When your called to do something you don’t understand, you’ll feel like you’re venturing into unfamiliar territory. It feels like all that you’ve gone through is completely useless in this new place. In this place called, “HERE”… It’s like starting all over from scratch. The teacher now becomes the student, the parent becomes the child, and at times… it seems as though the doctor becomes the patient.
I find that during times of transition from one relationship to another, from one mindset to another, or from one place to another, it’s easy to feel lost. Looking back is an option, but doors somehow have been closed either in us or around us. We can try to rush ahead using our own strength, but speeding forward in complete darkness, in a direction that we’re unsure of can cause a collision. Most likely, hurting not only ourselves, but the people around us as well.
We can’t always change the place called “HERE” or how long we stay. What we can do is decide how we are going to live while we are “Here”. How well are we going to wait, love, and what kind of difference can we make while we’re “HERE”. You see, there is much to do in this new space in time as we glean whatever pieces of information towards our true purpose or calling is given to us along the way.
There is one thing that we can draw from our yesterday though. We know that it took more than just ourselves to get to today. Therefore, it would take more than our own understanding to get to the place called “THERE”.
Let’s trust God to guide us through the unfamiliar places that we find ourselves in. Remembering that He was God before, He’s God now, and His love for us will never end.
Let’s shine our lights brightly and unapologetically while we are “HERE”, trusting that our tomorrow is in the hands of our more than capable Heavenly Father.
Proverbs 3: 5-6
5) Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
6) In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.
