It's All A Process

This morning I woke at 5:07 am and I know because there was this burst of thunder and it shook the house and my eyes flew open and I looked at the clock and said, I am a friend of God. I then started to pray for a long list of people who I knew had things they were facing today. My prayer came to and end and I closed my eyes snuggle back under the cover and told God since I was up at 2a.m., I want to go back to sleep. However my hand is throbbing and I was like you know what God why is this healing hurting so much, I don't remember this pain when I first had the surgery. God said it's a process.

I then started to think God why is everything a process? Why can't things just be black and white sometime? God says healing is a process, just like coming to know me and trust me is a process. Sure as a child you knew of me, but developing a relationship with me was something different. Granny made sure you went to church and you sit and listened at the preacher say God is good, but it was loosing Granny at 17 that made you draw near to me. Still then you were going through a process, because shortly there after you got mad at me and felt like I was taking everything and everyone you loved. Later that was your testimony.

Well what I realized is that we all go through a process at different times in our lives and no two persons process are the same. This morning I wouldn't change anything that I have been through because it was all a part of the process of making me the person I am today. I know that when my storm arose it is a part of my process, the winds of the storm may blow me in a different direction but God planned it because if I had not been blown to this place then I want be able to tell somebody else what God did for me and they may think that God has forsaken them. When my disaster is their deliverance.

So don't fret about what you are going through or where you are now it's a part of the process. It's a part of God's plan for your life. Now before some of you start using this as justification don't if you are into something that you walked in on your own accord that is not God, now if you call He can come get you out but He didn't put you in an adulterous relationship, He didn't send you to the crack house, to the motel with your boo. No God is not in that but He is there and even if no one else knows or sees you He does and honestly He is the only one that can take you out of it. But surrender is a part of the process of getting out of your mess.

So in life remember this, everything is a process but it's not all God's process. Yes somethings you are going through you really don't have too, you can get out right now if you will just call on Him and ask Him to take your hand and take you out.

Where are you in your process?
