It has not been an easy road coming to this place, I know that I’m sure. Every one of us has trials and difficulties that we all must walk through in life. Life is not easy and if you are facing overwhelming circumstances and feeling a bit lost in this season then no one holds you of any less worth. We look up to those who climb mountains and stand there with a heart of boldness. We look up for this reason- to gain inspiration from the people that have fought through hard times and are still here. We look up to gain hope that this journey can and will make us stronger. We look up to see how people have built up over the journey and now they’re walking more strongly, with boldness in their step. We look up to see how people have walked through fiery times and can now see a greater purpose to every pain, to every trial. Your life can and will be shaped by your circumstances, but no matter what occurs in our lives we can be changed and defined and transformed by the love and the grace that lives inside of us.
Walk:
Your life was introduced to the world when you were born. From that time you experienced life; the thrills and spills, the joy and despair that comes with it. You have to know though that even before you were born your life was not a mystery. You didn’t appear here on earth by accident, it was divinely appointed for you to be here, in this time, walking through the season that you’re in. Nothing happens by chance and nothing ever will. It is all part of a greater plan that we can’t yet understand and maybe we never will. Please never let the feelings of your soul that produce discouragement, and thoughts of insignificance take over. You have a worth greater than you can ever understand and your life was always meant to be.
Every experience that you walk through in life is part of the crazy journey that you have to endure and walk through while here on earth. While living on this earth you may feel as if you are just surviving; you will learn to thrive. You may not understand why you’ve come here, why you’re walking in the direction you are. You may feel as if you’re wandering aimlessly, you may feel as if you’re lost, but you may not. You have may found a sense of purpose and a clear direction to walk in. If you haven’t yet I encourage you to walk on the journey ahead, to walk on a journey where thoughts fly from your soul using the key of encouragement to unlock the cage that you have placed your soul, your heart, your life into. You are not held here to be a prisoner of the past but a pioneer of the future ahead of you.
You don’t have to check off an introduction to your life, a climax and then a solution. Life is not like a novel, no matter how picturesque it may seem. Your life is unique to this world. There are seasons of life that you will have to walk through and you have no need to be ashamed of whatever season you are currently facing and walking through in life.
The key to every season of life is just to keep walking through it and to just keep looking up. You don’t have to be defined by every season of your life but I encourage you to learn lessons from each of them and take into them who you are becoming. Let your experiences mold you and shape you into the unique being you are. You are defined by any one thought you have had or any one thing you have done but somewhere along the way these have shaped your life. A decision that you once made may have led to a number of amazing and difficult opportunities. One thing that you have may done then shaped the path that you walked through, whether it be bright or whether it was a time filled with darkness.
You can always walk back from the mistakes you have made. You can always make a new start. You can always come back from the pillar of darkness. Don’t chain yourself and hold yourself back from things that are meant for you. Don’t get caught in the past and please don’t let it hold you captive. You may think you deserve a certain treatment after you have made a poor decision or taken a step on the wrong path but there is always grace for you and you can always come back and create a new life in the moment that you are in. If you are feeling lost and confused today I encourage to take a rest, to take some time, to breathe and then to begin a journey in a new direction, one that brings light and promises hope, it is out there for you.
