The Bright Side of the Road

Prejudging the result of a new learning opportunity based on previous experience is a cul-de-sac mentality that only renders the highest good far-fetched.

Needless to say when God confronted me on this premise I had to plead culpable. The truth made me feel like when God’s light on the road to Damascus blinded Paul. Talk about insight about the real deterrent in seeing things through heavens’ eye and the disadvantaged position it placed me on the less crowded road. That explains the detours along the way and worse, spinning my wheels yet seeing the same old scenery...

I approached a lot of God’s tests based on my fears and predetermined the outcome on the basis of post traumatic trance states.

Is it any wonder that I kept getting the same damned results even in a new situation and having new situations present the same blasted lessons!

Well I thank you God for answering my request in either keeping things simple or giving me the clarity I know jolly well that I needed to come from you, Omniscience.

For a while, I was really ticked with God for not giving me the hints that can remove me from the gully, until one day I ask God to “do something! That request came out with a trailer load of passion, surrender and a twinge of stubbornness.

God wasted no time to release to me all the parachutes that I needed. That was when I realized that I had been droning instead of asking for Divine Intervention and conversely that is when I began seeing all those distractions playing a double role- they were scarecrows or steppingstones- depending how I chose to envisage them!

God is not an invigilator during life’s exam waiting to put a big red X next to every mistake. On the contrary God is there so we can ask for answers, seek guidance and even, at least in my case, request for a timeout or two or however many I need.

The quicker I ask for the help I need, the quicker God reveals the right outcome and the readier I am to receive my highest good.

Thank you God for the countless opportunities that assist me in seeing life's array as the steppingstones with your footprints already stamped on them.

Another lesson learnt! I know that you can continue to give me many more steppingstones to help me to practise and, to teach what I learn.

Thanks!
