This too shall pass

I Corinthians 10:12 
"This too shall pass."

They say that wisdom without application is worthless, I never thought that life can hit me this hard, when I’m already thriving and suffocated. It’s hard to actually apply the things that I’ve learned in my walk as a Christian with this experience. As I look back and ponder on the things that I have learned, I couldn’t quite grasp the Idea of forgiving and deal with criticism. I think God wants me to learn it now, as I read this in the bible, Joshua 1:9 “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go." I’m blessed that I have a loving Father who talks to me, who knows my ways and who knows my heart even if I haven’t started talking to Him yet. He says: people make mistakes therefore it is essential that you learn how to deal with criticism. Not all criticism is constructive; quite often people's disapproval of your actions is personal and offensive. You must not become defensive or react in anger. You are called to be patient and wise when you deal with disagreements and conflict. You must listen carefully and respond lovingly. Your response to criticism must be done in a godly manner. You must accept everyone’s mistake and trust ME to set things right.



So I asked myself: ~do you have the patience to burn in the fire of your Soul's purification? Can you allow your ego to be burned up through the humble trials of the human experience? Can you die to the fear of your fears and face a new fear daily knowing that it is how you grow?  I know in my heart that humility is the key to overcome this, which I am just one out of the many seekers who are unique and special in their own way that thrives for the meaning of life. This experience was a shock and it caught me off guard but God told me that “this too shall pass” 



So I let go, I give up and I will accept all the things that will come my way and apply the knowledge that’s within me. We all signed up for stress and complications in search of love and for the infinite, “What then shall we say to all this? If God is for us, who can be against us? Who can be our foe, if God is on our side? He who did not withhold or spare even His own Son but gave Him up for us all, will He not also with Him freely and graciously give us all other things?”Romans 8: 31-32



So I say, I will have a good fight for you Lord, the one that is just and walk in your affirmation.1 Corinthians 13:6-7 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, and always perseveres.
