Just a word of encouragement today….please do not allow broken people to break you. I have lived with some heartaches and disappointments, and at one point that pain was pushing me into places that I was not designed or destined to be in. The devil will make a fool out of you, but God is a keeper for those who want to be kept.
It was either my mother or father that once told me that no matter what you do…stay on the right side of the road. That is what I am telling you today– stay on the right side of the road This is a road that I have walked for a long time and recently I thought that the right side was not leading me to where I want to be. Let me tell you right now that the left side of the road and all of the rabbit trails that leads from it – may look appealing and may seem to answer all of the questions of your heart, but there is a scripture in the Bible that says, “There is a way that appears to be right, but in the end it leads to death.” – Proverbs 14:12. Don’t allow what God has purposed for your life to be devoured by your lack of trust in God and all that he has for you.
Too often people think that you miss out or you suffer too much when you try to do the right thing. Well, the right side of the road is not a picnic, but there is freedom in good clean living. As you walk on the right side of road, you will cry sometimes, you lose friends, folks will talk about you, folks will lie on you, you may have to date yourself, you will be lonely….but I would rather be lonely than to be a feast for the world.
This is not popular, I know. We are trained to make Christianity appear to super positive and you should never have any problems otherwise you are not doing your Christianity right lol, weird but true. I don’t want to set anyone up for disappointment, it does rain on the right side of the road, but the sun is always shining somewhere and it will shine on you again too.
Don’t allow what broke you…..to break you.
Peace- Helen
