We were created to live as faithful beings and to trust beyond the physical eye.
Even though we innately know deep at our core that everything in this life is fleeting, we still have this very human tendency to cling and hold on for dear life to the tangible things that will only ever bring fleeting moments of peace.
There is something so beautiful that happens when we soften our hearts enough and allow the quick hits of comfort to be removed from the pedestal that we’ve placed them upon.
When we untangle from the ‘stage 5 clinger complex’ what naturally happens is we find ourselves deeply trusting in the unseen. We begin to walk this earth as faith filled feminine beings, who no longer rely on the physical and tangible reality to be our source of comfort.
‘Faith is the pillar that continually anchors the feminine heart in a chaotic and changeable world‘.
Challenges in your life that you would once view as a burden are now opportunities for you to grow your faith muscle.
You have a new found capacity and somewhat excitement (or is that just me?!) when you’ve been thrown a curve ball.
Unlike the past where you may have tried to numb, escape and run from challenging situations, you now press in and use it as a ‘spiritual gym’.
You see challenges as opportunities to work on building your trust muscle and be strengthened in your faith journey to lean and depend on God.
You no longer strive to figure out solutions or try to take matters into your own hands.
You know that God already has a plan for you, and you follow the bread crumbs that have been left for you.
Challenge’s are no longer the pillar of what you’re doing ‘right’ or ‘wrong’ it’s simply that confidence doesn’t come through the world’s idea of ‘confidence’ it comes through an inner strength that is a gift from God.
You no longer need the situation at hand to change in order to feel comfort as your comfort comes from God.
Your days of waiting for the situation at play to change in order for you to feel relief and comfort are well and truly over.
You no longer rely on anything outside of yourself (the situation or another human) to be the deciding factor of your inner comfort and peace.
In all situations your comfort comes from God and your heart’s desire is to draw closer to
Him, rather than immediately wishing the situation to end.
Those closest to you are beginning to notice your new found ‘strength’ and ‘perseverance’ yet you know it’s not by your own doing that you’re able to remain at peace through the situation.
God is always the first one you turn to in times of trouble and the one who carries you through the storm.
Other people’s opinions and views no longer deter you from your belief that God is capable in making a way (even when it looks like there isn’t one)
If you’ve ever had a “it can’t get much worse than this” experience you’ll know that in our human-ness it can be incredibly challenging to believe that there is a way out from what our current physical reality is reflecting back to you – yet you remain boldly hopeful.
To the world you may seem ‘delusional’ and ‘unrealistic’ yet you’ve experienced God’s hand working in your life too many times to doubt that He has and will continue to make a way in your life.
You no longer listen to the opinions and advice from gurus, experts and professionals for solutions, because…GOD.
Someone else’s experience and opinion is not the catalyst for where God is taking you.
You stand firmly on knowing who God is and what is possible when He is at the center of your life and heart.
Big love
