They may say that God put them in that situation, and that God won’t show them a way out.
But the reality is that they want to take a “comfortable non-risk way out!”
They want a perfect situation where they don’t have to show courage, and they don’t have to make any effort that will make them feel uncomfortable, shamed – for instance like apologizing, or having to walk away from the old life to start something new and face the people who hold us back and confront them.
Please try to look at yourself and your situation from a view that you have not considered before, or from a situation that keeps ‘popping-up” in your mind but you refuse to entertain that thought because it is too uncomfortable for you to face.
For many people telling themselves lies while their head is buried in the sand is preferable to facing true facts of the situation that they are in.
When a person has to face the hard true facts, then they know that they cannot say that “they didn’t know!” because now they do know. And because they have now discovered that something is wrong, and it is something that they have refused to believe in for years, then they must act on it, because they know that if they don’t then they will have to continue to suffer.
No one wants to hate themself. We want to think that we are wise, and that we can respect ourself, and that we don’t allow ourselves to be used, abused, bullied etc.
But we can’t love and respect ourself if our head is buried in the sand, and we tell ourselves lies, and then when we are finally awakened to the truths, that we must act on, but we don’t act on. If someone else was like this, we would liken that person to a fool! Because only a fool would turn away from the door to freedom, respect, and a better future.
Blaming others for our failure to stand up and face the facts is wrong and is completely non-profitable. What God would be doing is showing us how to deal with the situation, and who will help us, but in order for change, we have to change and face the facts.
We need the courage to blame ourselves when we are not facing up to the real problems that we have to face in life, and then we need the courage to do what we need t do to make things right.
All the best from James M Sandbrook.
