A Little Revelation: Distractions

Today my 1 year oldson was busy opening a closing cupboards. he loves the swinging mechanism, it's just all so fascinating to him. Unfortunately he closed his litle thumb in the door, and althoug nothing major,was quite an experience for him.
HE stopped, startled and began to cry.
I quickly picked him up and almost as if the words were pouring into my head and spilling out of my mouth on its own, I said to him:
"Aww it's okay, just because you got hurt, doesn't mean you can't try again.
You can always try again."

This is true for anyone who has tried to start a business but has failed over and over again.
Perhaps you are a struggling business, and ve been taken advantage of. Maybe you're divorced because of ireconcilable differences. Perhaps yo've been hurt in some form of family, personal or financial relationship or venture." Like God has helped me to understand, it's okay to get hurt. Don't let the hurt paralyze you. You can't stop . You can slow down, but never stop. Don't stop. Stopping allows paralysis to set it. And when you're frozen, you're useless to tose around you but most of all yourself and ultimately God. When you let circumstances define you, you allow yourself to go nowhere in life. YOU define your circumstance.

Come on people, i've been hurt and cheated out of so many things. If I were to to name the people that owe me money or cheated me out of a financial collaboration, This blog would go on for days. I have friends that have been called all sorts of vile names, and been judged based on how they look. These are injustices that hurt, but they cannot allow any of us to stay atill.
And while we stay still, time pass us by? No way. Jesus is coming soon, and these inconveniences are mere distractions.
You're boss fired you? Distraction
Your kids don't listen? Distraction!
Wife a hot mess? It's a distraction!
Your husband not the man you thought he was?
People owe you money?
Friend slept with your man?
Your man slept with your friend?
Church people talking about you? More distractions.
And while we're at it, let's get a bus to drive by you and drench you in a muddy mess.
Distractions come in so many forms. The devil knows what pushes our buttons and will use distractions to keep us from entering into heaven. Don't let the devil distract you. Keep focused on God, and try again, try another open door, I kissed my son's thumb and held him close. God is your father and wants to hold you close and nurse your hurt. He will comfort you. Let Him. Butalways try again..this time wiser, stronger, and spiritually wealthier. This time, try again, in whatever venture you sought out to do, in Jesus' Name.
