pathway to destiny

Has there been a major shift or change in your life in the past couple of years? There are two kinds of changes that could happen in a life. A positive change or a negative change. Life is always changing. Life is full of changes. Nothing ever stays the same.

I experienced some major changes in my life several years ago. In my mind, I had always viewed this as a negative change in my life. While I tried to move ahead and forward, there was always the subliminal suggestion that I was a  failure because of this change. It colored everything I did!

Then one Sunday, after receiving prayer from one of our pastors about my future, the Lord spoke to me! It was the next day. I heard the words..."Change = Promotion"! I had always equated the change in my life with failure! I was stunned! Then I heard..."Your promotion was brokenness"! To some, you might say..."Thats not a word for me"! But I got so excited when I heard that! I no longer had to look at my change in a negative light! It was God promoting me. Yes, there is brokeness. But I know that out of brokeness comes the character of Christ, if you let it. We are to not stay in brokeness. But rather let Christ be built on that!

"Your ways are not my ways, neither are my ways your ways, says the Lord."

Be sure of this...if there has been a negative change in your life; you can still rejoice! Change can mean brokeness, which will translate into you being conformed into the image of Jesus! It may require a process, but be assured, God will take care of you. 

If someone has hurt you, be sure to forgive. You will not be able to experience the promotion caused by change, unless you do!
