"It was the woman you put with me who gave me the tree, and I ate it." Genesis 3.12
Have you ever noticed, during a problem, the speed we have to look for a culprit ?
When Adam and Eve ate forbidden fruit and the Lord came to visit them, Adam's first reflex was to accuse his wife. One of the first consequences of the fall is the accusation, find a culprit to clear customs. The victims, those who have been put on trial, are legions.
Look at the possibilities the Lord gives you to move forward.
Be a solution and not a problem, be a light of hope and not a black smoke, a rock and not a moving sand.
The Bible says : "Better the end of a thing than its beginning." Ecclesiastes 7.8 Even if the beginning would be distressing, decide to honor rather than despise. Despite the weak beginning, look at each other with the hope of a better tomorrow.
The Apostle Peter, before being a column of the early church, was Simon, a simple sinner very much carried away ; Paul the church founder had started as a destroyer ; John, nicknamed Mark, had given up before writing the Gospel that bears his name.
That in the deepest part of your thought be inscribed in a golden letter that God has created you to be an answer and not a question ; a surplus value and not a loss ; a blessing and not a curse ; a solution and not a problem.
Do not look for the culprit of your present situation, but look before you, look to the possibilities that the Lord gives you to go forward, to grasp the life to which He is calling you. Your world, your family, sighs so that you open the doors of treasures buried in you.
A prayer for today
Lord, I do not want to spend my life being negative but believe in the best by faith.
