There are three G’s, in remembering how to cope. It just came to me really, as I was just thinking this morning. Wanting to have a pity party. Remembering….
Sometimes things wound us. Or we have not been guided, to learn how to deal with things or to cope.
We can get stumped. We can even be our own worse enemy when we do. We can actually limit God.
And why should we do that, when God is able? Yes, there are circumstances out of our hands. Things that we really have no control over. But they are never, ever out of Gods control. All things are possible with HIM.
But there does come a time, where we can grow. We can learn. I love learning. I really do, but there are things I do not want to learn. Things even spiritually, I know God does not want me to learn. Just a short thought on this, but remember God did not want Adam and Eve to eat from the Tree of good and evil. He had His reasons. And I do understand. So there are books I will not read, movies I will not see, things that I know would offend God. But I do want to learn what is good for me. Spiritually, mentally. I want my faith to grow to be honest. I want to be strong with my armor of God on.
I don’t want to be a wounded person any more. I want to be healed. Spiritually, mentally, thats always a goal. The enemy, would always want you wounded, stumped. Not growing, but when you grow you do have to learn. Learning what God says….
So this morning, to make it short, without getting into all the details. For a moment, I wanted to feel wounded. I wanted to have a pity party.
And God just brought this to me:
GIVE IT TO GOD
GET A GRIP
GET OVER IT.
GIVE IT TO GOD ~See, we really do have to give it God whatever it is. We need to actively, pursue HIM, in prayer. Talk to HIM, believe, what HIS promises say. Believe in HIM, to do whatever it is. Repent. Yes let go of the pride, apologize to God really, thats what it is, and yes apologize to others, if you have to. Let go of that ugly pride. Remember what I wrote above about what you have learned? Is there something you need to repent for learning, that actually offended God. Because you did not obey HIS word?
OBEY BIG EMPHASIS ON THIS. OBEY GOD.
I think sometimes, we can limit God. Why would we do that? I don’t know, but I guess I have, myself. To think maybe I am not worthy. Or to think, well I missed it before. You have to stop this negative thinking, to be honest. And the only way I know how to be more optimistic is to claim Gods word, HIS promises. From my King James bible. This is how you give it to God. You remind God what HE says, for HE can perform it. So dig in His word, and pray…
THEN SAID THE LORD, UNTO ME, THOU HAST WELL SEEN; FOR I WILL HASTEN MY WORD TO PERFORM IT. JEREMIAH 1;12 King James.
Let me just say this and with love and grace to myself as well. We can get lazy seeking God. We can get stale. We can get cold. Even the best of us. But something about Gods holy King James word, brings it alive to me. I guess because I know its HOLY. God does not lie. His promises are as good as they are now as they were when HE created the foundations of who HE is. It does not expire. Unless you walk away, or get cold. So don’t. Get close to God again, remember HIS promises. Stir up your faith. Thats how you give it to God.
GET A GRIP
This is how you get a grip, when you seek God. When you trust in HIM. When you don’t let yourself get stuck. You grow. See, when you give it to God, and you seek God, HE will give you double. He is God, HE can do that, so easily even here you can get a grip, and yes get over it. But seeking HIM, taking your problems to HIM, taking your worries, your hopes, your dreams, whatever it is, God can make a way.
I have recently just discovered that again…. See, I have been painting lately. Pour painting. I went through something physically, where now I just feel able to share it, but I had a hard time, because I had surgery. I won’t give the details, because I am still dealing with it. I could not tell to many people about it, because I just don’t like to complain. But I did go to God. I asked for healing. But HE also gave me an outlet to paint. I am learning. I am watching all of these masters on video and they inspire me. I have been doing it for a few months now. I am not perfect. But practice does make perfect. I am not an artistic person by nature. I don’t have the ability to draw something, but my goodness I can learn. We all can learn. Anyway, short story, I am learning how to create. Some days, I make a mess, but somedays well I make something pretty.
My above photo, is one of my latest creations, but it made me happy to make. I try, I try and learn. By the way, this painting is not for sale. People are starting to ask me if I am selling any of them, and some I will, some I won’t. But, I am starting to post some of them here on my blog that are for sale, they are entitled My Art and Paintings. In the pages above. Just do a quick search if interested.
Thats life. Sometimes it is hard, but HE can again make easy. He can give us coping skills. Wisdom and understanding. To learn from our mistakes, our sins, but you have to search. Thats God, HE uses things, to help us, to teach us, but to always go back to step one. Give it to God.
So, that brings me to the last G. GET OVER IT. You can get over things, no matter how difficult, no matter how hard, God can give you easy. Sometimes, I read things that will say, God did not promise easy. Or God did not say it would be easy, but HE did! He says take my yoke, for its easy. You look up the verse in a King James. With those key words. And if you do not get over it, well you can cope through it. God can give you strength to do all things, and if you cannot gain that strength, keep asking HIM. The goal is never, ever, ever give up. NEVER!!!
But HE can show us how to get over it, no matter what it is. The main key, in these three G’s, is you have to start with God. In everything. In honor, in pursuing HIM, in developing a relationship with HIM. To have a healthy spiritual and mental outlook. Then HE just makes it so easy, to get a grip, and to get over it.
I hope this blesses you today. I know it does me, when I refresh myself in the King, in HIS ways, with hope, and trust. It helps me to cope. Because sometimes it can be hard, but its worse when we make it harder, because we don’t seek God, and thats the truth. I don’t care what people think. They don’t live my life. They don’t know what God has done for me. Some want proof, well all I can say is believe God first then you will see the proof.
I just know that I know there is a God, and well HE has gotten me through a lot. Still does. And I adore God for that! He has shown me who HE is over and over again. I wonder why people reject HIM, I wonder how they cope? But if they deny the only one who can help them in a situation, well they become their own worse enemy, and its dumb, to be honest. To knock the King of Kings, the creator of heaven and earth. God has to just shake HIS head. I know I do.
Give it to God my friends, HE will give you courage, and strength to get a grip, and to get over it. And heres a thought, maybe you went what you went through, so God could get you to seek HIM. He does have HIS ways, and they are not our ways. Another KJV verse to look up.
Maybe you went through that, because you disregarded HIS commandments, and you knew better. Been there myself, never do that. Note to my own self…. Start all over. To coin a phrase…..
Give it to God, Get a grip, Get over it.
My new vision for a blessing……
P.S. Maybe being so blunt sounds harsh, and I probably would not tell someone this directly without having the explanation I do above. Because to tell someone to get over it, to tell someone to get a grip, just is not kind. Or it could be misinterpreted. But I say it to myself, because I have to sometimes be blunt, if that makes sense. Christ is compassionate and kind, but I see that sometimes for myself anyway, I cannot get stuck in just going over the same thing, over and over again, if this makes sense. I hope it blesses you.
Blessings, and love, Elena Ramirez
