It's Time!

If you’re in pain, physically or emotionally, it’s likely that you have past issues that you have been sweeping under the rug (which now looks more like a mountain) and hoping that no one will notice.

People do notice.  Your family notices.

They notice the smile that no longer is there.

They notice the once confident posture that has been gone for a while now. 

They notice the quickness to anger at them, even though you’re truly angry with yourself. 

They notice what feels like you don’t care for them, even though you love them very much. 

They notice your body is there, but your mind is elsewhere; leaving them to believe you aren’t interested in their life, even though it’s the farthest from the truth.

Your family notices that you have so much potential, yet waste it on drugs or alcohol or sex to avoid dealing with your truth, your pain, your past.

IT’S TIME!

It’s time that YOU notice that you ARE loved.

It’s time that YOU notice that others care very much about you but don’t know how to help you because you won’t help yourself.

It’s time that YOU notice that no matter how long you keep pushing the pain, it’s not going anywhere.

IT’S TIME to take one step back, realize that you aren’t that person who was abused, who was neglected, who was unloved by your parents, or whatever else left that emptiness in your heart…and know that people DO care about you (more than you’ve allowed from yourself).

IT’S TIME to take back control over your thoughts, feelings, and emotions that you’ve allowed to lead you astray.

IT’S TIME to renew your mind, restore your body, and refresh your spirit.

IT’S TIME to love and forgive yourself for all that “stuff” that only you think about.

IT’S TIME to love and forgive others who’ve hurt you…because hurting people hurt people.  Pray for them.

IT’S TIME to know that you are a child of God and He is ALWAYS there for you…but you have to seek Him.

Knock and the door will be opened.

Seek and you will find.

Ask and it will be granted…for those who love God and are in Him.

Your time is NOW, my friend. 

The future is yours and it is so bright that you’re gonna need shades!

There is always HOPE. 

Now is the time for you to step up and live the life you desire.

It won’t just happen, you must grow yourself daily.

It will be painful, and beyond a pleasure.

You will want to quit, but you won’t because you see what’s on the other side of the pain.

You will briefly fall back into old patterns but will quickly interrupt them and seek higher ground.

Every day will be brighter than the last, but you must open your eyes to see it.

Let TODAY mark your REbirthday. 

You CAN do this, my friend.

I’ll be praying for you and your journey to hope and healing.

Bless you
