For those of you, who workout. You know how you have been doing a workout regiment for a while, to the point you don’t feel challenged anymore. Your body fat is where it's suppose to be, it has become an effortless routine, that is maintaining and not evaluating. Now, you find yourself, coming up with a new regiment, where you are increasing your cardio time, lifting heavier weights, eating more protein etc... Now this new regiment has your legs sore the next day, every time you laugh, your abs are on fire . You are like, I entrust and know what the end results will be, but I am in so much pain.
That's how, I feel right now, with my spiritual life. Last year, I was on spiritual baby food, this year Mr. Jesus Christ has me on that solid food, that smells bad, looks horrible, but nutritious for the body. I am so spiritually sore. I MEAN EVERYTHING HURTS. I tell God, I want to be even tempered, he puts me in situations, to be as such. I pray for God to kill my flesh, he takes the very thing that was inflaming my flesh, in a humiliating fashion. I say to God, if I can just have this particular situation to be just like this, he grants my wish. Then I realized, the wish that has been granted brought me further away from God. I tell God, I really want to be in your will and live in my purpose. And he says, in order for that to happen, you have to share all your dirty little secrets. Tell people who you are now, but, I want you to tell them who you were first. I was maintaining last year, this year is evaluation time. With evaluation comes soreness and unfamiliar places, that exposes every flaw. I trust the Lord, I know the end results will be fulfilling, but man, I am spiritual sore.
Living in your purpose comes with a cost
With evaluation comes a cost
If you, find yourself in an spiritual place, where there is no life lessons and no pain. That means you are maintaining and not evaluating.
"NO PAIN NO GAIN"
