In my own words
Today,
I will use your experiences and my lessons and put them in my own words
I'll mix up everything that is in my mind with that background music playing in my room and demystify the post in my very own words. And here it goes...
Let me tell you a story,
People can DISSAPPOINT you and they can dissapoint you hard!
Your own father can fail to see a daughter in you
And break the woman in you into smithereens regardless of what age group you are
Infact,
Your best friend, that bossom buddy you trust so much
Can turn against you so BAD and use the very things you told him/her in secret
To plunder and conspire against you
Your sister can stare to your face and tell you the most distraughting stuff your ears can ever fathom!
You brother, you mother, your neighbour, your employer, your husband, your wife
They ALL can drag you to the face of your greatest dissapointment/ fears/ pain!
Sometimes, I look at me like a character in life's novel and am like "Wow! What just happened?"
So here I am, wondering
Beyond pain,
beyond disgrace,
beyond your heaviest teardrop,
beyond the betrayals,
beyond rejections and your greatest dissapointments,
beyond all that bitterness you hold within
beyond him, her, them
beyond you!!
What is it that puts you together?
What is it that you hold onto before you completely loose your head?
For me,
It is the mystery of forgiveness
The curiosity of wanting to know what will happen if I decide to let it ALL go?
The understanding that forgiveness
Is not about doing the person who erred a favor
But rather doing me, a favor
Because choosing not to forgive the concerned parties
Only hurts me and imprisons me to the memories of yesterday
In a way that makes me feel completely sad, lost, insatiable, tired and worn out
For me,
It is the miracles of Easter
The events that unfolded over two thousand years ago
That changed tables and The Lover of my Soul was given dominion not only to life but also to death
In a way that not even the grave could contain Him!
For me,
It is the knowledge that however bad a circumstance turns out to be
I know that I know that I know....
That I still have a second chance to make a better decision right now
That although I might feel like a victim of circumstance right now
I can choose to say NO to thoughts that try to bring me down
And I can choose to live in abundance since
Whomever the Son of God has set free (me) is free indeed!
I can choose to look at the events that dragged me to a breaking point and sigh....
Because you know right now am a much wiser person.
So stop looking down upon yourself
I know, it's hard infact 'hard' is an understatement
But hey wounded soldier,
You have beaten yourself hard and long enough
Raise up today and take your position
Samson made his mistakes and lost his eyes
But he finally emerged a winner
Stop hating on the limp in your legs
Like Jacob this limp might be the testimony of your transformation from Jacob to Israel
Raise up might man of valor
Because someone else is waiting for the inspiration of your testimony
