Avoidance


Many times I have tried to avoid the thing right over my shoulder.  There are so many reasons not to look the camera (or issue) straight on, but the habit of avoidance is strong and I panic.  Thus, the THING is not resolved.

It would be so much better if I could face it, resolve it, and move on.  Why not?  What is the grip IT has on me?  Is it from childhood?  Fear of  being eaten alive?  Unresolved anger or pain?

I have found that Scripture reading and my relationship with Jesus Christ is the strength I need to heal any THING that prevents me from moving into the abundant life God has promised.  I have found it true for my kids and grandkids, too.  So, I pray everyday that God will give me the courage to turn to my left and look IT in the challenge.

Proverbs 3:5,6
