Layers of life...a culmination of experiences & emotions; some recalled with joy-others with sorrow. Each layer tells a story...some we tuck in our heart forever-others we want to completely forget. We get bogged down in the layers of life when we feel justified in our actions-the reasons we don't want to move forward. Some don't want to release their predictable routines-they feel safe & reason it's their option to move forward or not...so they forfeit their future-opting for the comfortable familiar. Others justify they can't move forward-they're not able to shake off regret & shame so they watch reruns of... "what I should have done & how things might be, if I would have."
As Christians, we're to always be in forward motion & making a difference-intensity can change according to the season of life, but the perpetual forward motion never stops. We're saved to fulfill the plan & purpose God called us to-we've got to see our lives from God's perspective...we're His children. We're equipped with specific skills & talents to do a job...yes, God loves us dearly & we're valuable to Him...so He gives us important jobs to carry out-to build up the body of believers, every step has been ordered, He calls the end from the beginning. We're more than conquerors, not so we can sit on the sofa and complain about what's not right in our lives but so we can go out & spread the gospel-the good news...the same good news that saved us!
The layers of life...we go through them, some we like, others we don't-but none of them excuse us from not moving forward & carrying out the purpose God put in us!
