The things that we may think are better to be kept to ourselves. One of the overpowering weakness of human soul is that it loves to cling to the past. We find it hard to let go and move on. We always have the tendency to cling unto the past, because it is something familiar and something predictable. And whenever we encounter something new, we get terrified. We tend to treat it as dangerous, and frustrating. Human as we are, we prefer the old instead of the new. We always let our past hold us back.
For those of you who are into an abusive relationship or simply keeping a company with a toxic person, probably everyone’s telling you to leave. But you can’t leave and you WON’T leave. You keep on giving excuses that this person will change. But the sad truth is, you are just afraid of leaving. You are just afraid that if you’ll leave, no one new will accept you. You are afraid that you cannot find another person for you. You are afraid that no one will come after that person and no one will replace that person. But one thing you should know – you deserve better. For breadwinners, family providers and those who are already working. Maybe you are stuck in a toxic job, or in a toxic working environment even a toxic boss and you had been contemplating for the longest time about quitting this job. But you think to yourself, “what if no other company will accept me?”, “what if I can’t find another job, whose gonna feed my family?” So you stick with that predictable, familiar toxic job and toxic working environment even if it’s keeping you miserable every single day. People, in nature, don’t like new things. We love to stick to our comfort zones. We love to get stuck, just like in our families. We have cycles, family patterns or traditions that are passed down from generation to generation. It could be a good thing, it could be trait of love, of respect, kindness, faithfulness and all the good stuffs. Or it could be something terrible, it could be drunkenness, abuse, addiction, adultery, gambling. And you feel you can’t stop it because it has been going along for the longest time. It has become a family culture, the norm and no way can you stop it. Now, let me ask you. Have you noticed something in your family too? Are there family patterns you observed, you wished you could change? A negative family patterns perhaps that you do not want to talk about? If yes, don’t worry. God is telling you “My child, do not cling on the past because I am doing something new in your family. I am doing something new in your life. Watch out for the new thing I am going to do, in fact it is already there. You just need to open your eyes.” GOD’S MESSAGE: I am starting a new thing. Your blessing will come. Your healing will start.
