"For I know the thoughts and plans that I have for you, says the Lord, thoughts and plans for welfare and peace and not for evil, to give you hope in your final outcome. Then you will call upon Me, and you will come and pray to Me, and I will hear and heed you. Then you will seek Me, inquire for, and require Me [as a vital necessity] and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart. I will be found by you, says the Lord..."

Pain or Perspective

Pain or Perspective
If you choose pain, you choose to fight, deny, and bury. The choice becomes harder.
If you choose perspective you embrace history, while giving it credit for the better person it can make you, scars and all. The choice then gets easier every time.
We can choose to wrestle with God over the pain or we can do as He told Jacob and remember that we were once slaves in Egypt and not focus on the darkness and the pain but on the fact that God has delivered us out of it and will deliver us again.
Perspective not pain.
