Strangely enough, it was while I was driving home on a wet, dark night with a lonely radio that I realised.
Sometimes it takes years to understand your own reactions - why your reflex to a shout is to cringe/flare/run, how to shield others from your own floods of emotions. Often those thoughts only come after hard thinking, acknowledgement of watery buried memories, and painful wounds.
How is it that gains gotten through such difficulty can end up so ill-used?
Having finally understood what is wrong, how could one yet refuse to make the choices to change?
And still it happens all the time.
Watching the lights flicker past, diffusing onto the wet asphalt highway, it’s pretty often that I find myself reflecting over recent situations resulting in heart-ache and pain as I drive home. Sometimes it’s the broken or neglected friendships; sometimes it’s the hateful words like bloody arrows, whose power you only recognise in the aftermath of misconstrued battle…
Time travel isn’t an option. Living in the past is even more regrettable. And not to learn from the past is stupid.
Growth… happens even though gravity exists. Deal with it - change is good if it’s upwards!
“Therefore, since we have such hope, we use great boldness of speech— unlike Moses, who put a veil over his face so that the children of Israel could not look steadily at the end of what was passing away. But their minds were blinded. For until this day the same veil remains unlifted in the reading of the Old Testament, because the veil is taken away in Christ. But even to this day, when Moses is read, a veil lies on their heart.
Nevertheless when one turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away.
Now the Lord is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord.”
- (2 Corinthians 3:12-18)

There is no doubt that HOW we do WHAT we do for God is vital.
We can often become so outcome orientated that our character is compromised in order to get the result we earnestly desire. If not addressed and arrested, this can over time become a habit. God cares about HOW we do WHAT we do for Him…
