Good bless and greetings
I do hope this text finds you well.
When pondering upon our steps in our journey , we can reflect on many moments moments that has created joy and smiles. Then it happens, our minds begin to drift into that place that has caused us heart ache, anger, regret, doubt , loss of confidence , fear, worry, bitterness.
These moments are often resurfaced due to our own thoughts bringing these moments forward. These moments have been stored away with all the other moments that go back to the first moment of recognition of hurt and pain. We have not dealt with these moments and develop faces. Faces is mentioned often for this defense mechanism protects our “soft parts”, our hearts.
These faces come about each time when we have let our guard down or a new moment has developed, and yes you guessed , we added another piece to our wall of faces. “We have it all together” on the surface but internally we are drowning. Then it happens, we have so many faces that we put on the wrong one. This is verifiable by when we hear that age old question ,”Are you okay?” or “Is everting okay?” and we give a response that shows that we are strong being weakness is forbidden as we have been taught and told and we stack another moment in the box of other unresolved moments and place that box on the shelf named, “I hope I don’t see this again or have to deal with that again “Doing so opens up higher probability of these moments returning.
A word that as been delivered in prayer is “pointless”. Definition of “pointless “ is “having little or no sense, use, or purpose. “ Ask ourselves, these moments we store up, do they meet the definition given of holding on to them? When withholding from letting go holds us back from doing what is right Ilim God’s eyes, also blocks us from healing through God’s deliverance of wisdom and courage.
God instructs us to go to Him in time of need and “ do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. “ (Phil. 4:6) “then you will know the truth, and truth will set you free. “ (John 8:32) God opens a doorway for us for these moments that present “a time to search and a time to give up, a time to give up , a time to keep and a time to throw away. “ (Ecclesiastes 3:6)
There have been moments when we feel our prayers aren’t heard and we fight against letting it go or feeling weak when we discuss it for “three times I pleaded with the LORD to take it away from me” , but when we are still and resting in LORD, we will hear God say, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My power is made perfect in weakness” leading us to see His Glory in hearing Him when we submit and “boast all the more gladly about my weakness, so that Christ’s power May rest on me. “ (2 Corinthians 12:8-9)
This brings up the word “pointless “. It is pointless to please others for pleasing God releases all hardened parts of our hearts. It is pointless to continue to hold on to what slowly seeps into our thoughts and hearts and causes despair but by His Will and way, humbly “submit yourselves, then, to God” (James 4:7) with all our hearts and “we know in all things God works for good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose.” (Romans 8:28)
It is pointless to attempt to continue to convince others to see us, to hear us or understand how we see or feel, especially when they themselves are unable to see or hear and by releasing them to God “the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, Will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. (Philippians 4:7)
Create what you see is pointless so you are able to see God’s point.
May blessings be upon you in Christ name as you surrender.
