Once
upon a time, there was a boy who always felt safe whenever he was around his
family, whenever he was with family he never felt safer. He trusted his family
so much that he believed that with them no harm could reach him, he felt
invincible.
There’s no
challenge great enough to stop you from making use of your God given talent.
That’s exactly what Simeon Djagbo popularly known by his ministry name as KLIN
BASS because of his expertise in playing the bass guitar.
It is not
Friday morning, if workers aren’t extra excited like I am right now. Although,
I feel like beating myself up slightly. But, I will settle for a warning
because it isn’t easy having to do that to me. And I am scolding myself for not
splitting up this post two days ago into 1&2 because I missed studying time
with the morning devotional ‘Our Daily Manner’ which had this interesting life
transforming story you probably or probably not have read that will surely give you a boisterous reaction. Having to
combine the two days write up has made it quite lengthen and you and I know how
much you enjoy reading longggggg post *winks*. I assure you, this is one you’d be
glad you read to the end.
It is human to fear the process of brokenness (reformation) because of the
pain, imagine humans are like tearing a piece of clothe into more pieces in
order to fix them into something suitable and fit for God’s use might be
unbearable but the sweet gain thereafter is a greater reward than the pain. God
won't break you if He can’t fix you. If you need to be broken it
implies the shape you are in right now isn’t useful to Him.
The journey of brokenness continues with episode 3 with Bob
Gass letting us know the need to hit the bottom and being able to withstand the
heat and not get burnt when faced with life challenges. Click to read episode 1
and episode 2 if you’ve missed the posts.
My realisation journey on how one cannot boast of knowing themselves completely until faced with certain situations and circumstances continues with the second episode of brokenness with Bob Gass. Click here if you missed the first episode.
Each day, I get to realise one can't completely boast of knowing his or her capabilities until truly faced with situations. Life experiences can either bring out the best or worse in us depending on how we chose to react or respond. I will like to share the four series on 'Brokenness' written by Bob Gass some years ago on the devotional 'The Word for Today'. I pray each post reforms you as it did me when I was going through it after so many years.
This is a continuation of the article I wrote on dealing with
destructive addictions. Click here if you missed it. Every addict needs courage to be able to seek for the
help they need. Courage to agree they need help in the first place, to withstand
the shame and the judgemental opinions of others, which is still same when they
are unable to seek for help.
Aww! Now these are photos I couldn't resist sharing. Two beautiful ladies with dapping dimples, haba! I wish we could do face off like Nicholas Cage and John Travolta and I wonder which face I would pick hehehe! Help make a choice lol!
