The right family

Proverbs 4:18 -But the path of the righteous is like the light of dawn, that shines brighter and brighter until the full day (NASB).
What if you were born in the right family in spite of the madness you see? The craziness that drains us, drives us to the wall, or the words that pushes us into the corner of silent marinating rage. A mental place where we were never supposed to be in the first place but we are there because of our fear, lack of trust. See, what if most of your problems are caused by our failure to believe. All because we fail to venture outside of our familiar, to embrace faith over fear, to seek God’s logic instead of man’s, or to implement organization theory of relationship ordained by God into our life. Therefore, the discontented season that was meant to only last for a limited time has resulted into a vicious cycle for a lifetime. We did not, and do not see the larger implications until it is too late. All because we decided, we would not adapt to the family environment using God truths by allowing our intrinsic gifts of God to manifest in our life, to sustain us for our life. What if we only operate in the realm and parameters of man’s possibilities because we never trusted, depended or sought out the wondrous mysterious and miraculous unlimitedness found in faith in God. All because we did not, would not stop focusing on the ‘me’ but Thee, Thou, He, God.

When we question, why was I born, or put in this family? What is this a mistake? We are doing this Isaiah 29:16 –“ You turn things around! Shall the potter be considered as equal with the clay, that what is made would say to its maker, "He did not make me”; or what is formed say to him who formed it, "He has no understanding"? (NASB) – God put each us in the family we in to hone our skills, have our gifts manifest, to trained us in the way that prepares us for our rightful destiny, if we believe and keep our eyes focus on him! Do you not think God did know what was coming your way? Do think He did not know what was going to happen to you? Why do you think the model, the pattern was set and the directions were laid out, in words and in actions. All we have where evil and negativity reign is the result of our willingness to submit to our fears and doubt because it works but we know on the truly strong becomes the victor. As living authentically you, not with ill-intent mask as kindness, grant a clear vision of not only who you are, but what you should be, and where God will take you. All it takes is faith and releasing the secrets insecurities, clandestine strategies, covert conversations, silent rage, and the underhanded exchanges to see I am made better for the experiences, and it was all for my good because it was never about me but about Thee.
