Into the Light

Sometimes you think to yourself that you finally got it right. Everything is where it's supposed to be and all is right with the world. Then something happens that causes you to realize that you weren't where you thought you were. That is what happened to me. God will at times in your life show you things that need to be worked on. Things that if He didn't cause situations to arise would be missed all together. He shows us these things to let us know that we still have a lot of growing to do. That in order for us to move into the next level He wants us to be in we have something that needs to be fixed in us. Not everyone can take this process. It's a really hard stage to be in but we have to ultimately remember that it is for our good and not to harm us.

I realized that through my situation that God is trying to show me there is some deep hidden things that I have covered up for so long. It's stuff that if the situation and circumstances never came about, they would still be hidden. God longs to show us all where we really are in Him and where we need to be. It's up to us to look at what He's showing us and it's up to us to decide what we're going to do with the things He's showing us. Ultimately, the choice is ours. In my case, I had to come to realize that not trusting people is almost like not trusting God. Not everyone is out to get me or hurt me because of the things that I've gone through in my past. Even though God never said not to be vigilant and aware of my surroundings, He never said to be leery about everybody. I had to learn and I'm still learning to give people a chance.
