When You Reminisce....Are You Dwelling In The Pain Of What Happened? Understand The Only Unchanging Variable In The Equation Of Life Is God.....

How often do you go back to what was?   In your thoughts.....in your memories....in your talk.....  We always tend to reflect back.    The question is....are you dwelling there?   Are the memories that you are dwelling on.....are they causing you to dwell in a place of pain?   Are you basing your happiness on what used to be?   We have to understand that God is doing a new thing.   He is opening up and revealing Himself to us more and more each day.    He wants us to walk in the newness of who He is.   In the newness of His love.... In the newness of His mercy....  In the newness of His grace...... and In the newness of His peace.   

Oftentimes when we reminisce.....it comes with pain.   With the pain of what happened and why things changed.    But what we have to understand is that in life things change.  People change.   Places change.   The only unchanging variable in the equation of life is God.   That is why we must stand on Him.   We must stand in Him.   For He is our foundation, as well as, the one who fills and fulfills our life.  

It's okay to reminisce and it's okay to remember.   But we have to understand that in life things change.   So when we go back to our remember when moments....we also have to remember when and how God sustained us.   How He kept us when we were hurt.   How He loved us when we were lonely.   How He provided for us when we experienced lack.   How He gave us peace when we thought we were going to lose our mind.   

Trusting God encompasses all things.   It encompasses the things in life that we just don't understand.   When we lose a loved one......when we don't have enough to meet what we see as the needs of our life.   When we are sick.   When we feel alone.    It's at these times that we must trust God the most.   We must trust that His word is true and that He cannot lie.   That He will lead us, guide us, keep us, and protect us.  

The next time you get to a place of remembering when.....make it a point to remember when God did what He did just for you.    Make it a point not to live in the pain of your past but to look forward to what God is going to do next in your life.
