No matter how long anybody has been living by their faith nor how long individuals have learned about concept of having faith, every once awhile there is gone to be a time in life that individuals will have a suffer a setback.
Remind ourselves every day that these setbacks are just temporary. Can't win every battle so some may have lost a few battles in their life time, remember you're not gone to lose the war.
Example of my own life experiences I like to share, I been fighting battles every since I was six years old, past memories of being abused; physically,mentally, emotionally. Due to my childhood years of abuse I now live with today, what it is called TBI. (Traumatic Brain Injury)
"Oh, I have set backs, plenty of them. When my setbacks are so terrifying and stressful to the point I can't handle them I walked down to the river that is only a block away from my house. I will stand there at the side of river embankment and pour out my heart to God. I have a lot of questions to ask God, but I will never know the answers to I meet him face to face when I standing at Jesus feet.
While standing there along the river embankment I lift my head high talking to God and asking him for wisdom. Seek more knowledge of God. See God has been there through all the many years when someone was hurting me as a child. They were family members who stated they love me. I am not quite sure on what real love is when human beings say. I am not stupid, I know the meaning of God's love.
Adult family members of whom abuse me had a great impact in my life. Impact in decisions I make today. Not my choice for this to be apart of my life, memories that were instilled in my mind. First time I was abuse was on December 24, 1963, I was six years old. My family have tried to convince me that the person that first time abuse me was not the person I say it was. I know it was. I can remember detail of that family member face and what that family member did to me that night. I don't want to live with this memory I want the memory to go away.
Some days these are the setbacks of have. My setbacks are flashbacks when I see something or somebody or even hear their name it gives me flashbacks. I refused though to be knocked down, and knocked out of the game of life because in the end I will be rewarded with VICTORY! and that is a guaranteed.
I share this today to all domestic violence and Adult child-abuse survivors to never give up fighting for the Victory, Never quit or give up Hope. When having a setbacks cling onto God's rope of Hope. Cling on it real tight with keeping God insight. Believe and Trust in Him for his guidance for he will guide you on the right path. It is when we are having setbacks we need to more lean on him than focus on the problem causing to have flashbacks or setbacks whenever people wants to call them. God is not gone to allow you to fall.
It's not over Till it's Over! When days having setbacks look for the beauty surrounding you. It is there just have to open your mind and your eyes to see it.
