Quit requiring consistency as a parameter. Do not mistake consistency for sameness. No thing stays the same. No one stays the same. Accept that God is a CREATOR not a DUPLICATOR. I have learned that God rarely repeats exactly the same in my life. Even if something has the appearance of being the same, there is always an element of the unfamiliar to stretch me and move me upward and onward towards where He wants me to be. I am finally learning to be comfortable in discomfort, ambiguity and change. I have learned God will place you in complete discomfort so that you learn to change, move and grow with the seasons in your life. Change requires newness and unfamiliarity.Growth may produce inconsistencies and changes in actions, behaviors and proximity that you have become accustomed to in order to ensure you accept and learn to do, be, speak, and live differently.
Application: THE SAME IS NOT CONSISTENCY
1. Remaining the same is an impossibility and rarely do things and people go as you plan or do as you expect. Learn to thrive and respond not react negatively to change. You will never get the same results repeating the same actions with the same people. Inevitably people, situations and circumstances change. Accept that!
2. Pay attention to the seasons in your life. Purpose is seasonal and your response should be accordingly. Don't give up in seasons of change and progress because your response must be resilience. Adapt. Grow. Move. Let go. CHANGE. Quit requiring things and people to be the same in order to be happy.
Beloved I am praying with and for you.
