When I consider what I write sometimes, the magnitude of some of the issues and my current state, there is this inherent thought that gets me tempted to say to myself: these things you write ✍ will be better narrated and appreciated in future so why don’t you wait until that time?

For instance, when we ‘smell’ greater blessings of the future yet to materialize both tangible and intangible, some of the things we write will be better appreciated not in Real time hence for the future. But, Mercy said No!!!😊

The feelings that you have in your body when you have been hurt or when you are ill- Pain. Pain is not only physical but psychological. If not, why do we have mental health issues? Our mind is a very powerful tool,once attacked can affect all other areas of our lives. Usually connected to the Soul, there are heartbreaking narrations that have taken people’s lives, put them in grave danger and disheartening positions.

According to the Oxford international dictionary, Pain is mental or emotional difficulty.

All my life, from childhood up until now, I have come to a conclusion in Confidence with the use of Personal experiences that,Pain is Purposeful. Pain births extremely Beautiful Things, Products and End Result. Without a doubt, I hope you will share Same outlook on Pain and Purpose as me.🤗😍

Now,…do take a minute and think about your life…Even some of the occurrences in recent time and those of the past. What do you see? Good, bad or Ugly? Perhaps you see some good in it! You will agree with me that, most of the experiences that made you Stronger and a Better Person had some level of Pain and for some Bitterness attached to it? Pain always birth something Beautiful!

During labor, there is pain. Intense and vigorous one. However, that pain births something beautiful. Kids who happen to be the sweetest people in the world.Procreation gets established and destinies fulfilled through pain.

An argument or misunderstanding with friends, colleagues, superiors, reports, loved ones and family may come with pain sometimes but guess what? Wisdom and growth is built from there.

Being taken advantage of and Feeling cheated on, it goes in your Favour. You come out learning so Much. Become full of Confidence in your Truth and Conviction.

Sabotaged, Slandered on and Judged wrongly, you end up appreciating other sides of human but get Better in Maturity, Act and Wisdom.

Pain that resulted in dealing with Monetary issues with others, Loved ones, Business partners, Family and Friends? Keep the lessons and Grow Beautifully!

An accident whether physical or psychological ends up making us Stronger Physically and Mentally!

I was wondering why I had to experience a particular event in my life as a young manager then. The end result made me a better leader however, the process was difficult. It happens to all of us in different situations and in dealing with others whether corporate,family, social or religious groups.

We know the end because the end is in the Promise or word of God. We always Profess the end but Fail to appreciate the Process.

We ask God many questions yet, confident about the End result. What influences the Questioning? Our emotions, our mind and what we think should be or should not be and what we believe our heart can or cannot take.

Our heart and minds are built for Pain and not only good Moments, even the intense Pains. We only need to appreciate seeing the Good in the Pain which helps build, craft and mould Purpose. Eventually, turning it to Power.

For every pain, there is a need to have remedy. Physical pain requires medicine and massage depending on what it is. Emotional and psychological pain requires positive influence, association and communication. Music, Reading and Podcast. It could even be Therapy depending on level of Pain and it’s effect.

As a child of God, the Presence of God in every Pain Calms & Soothes it. The Confidence we have in Him!!!

One of my Biggest Learnings, Growth and added source of Maturity came as a result of Painful Experience.

We all need to learn to Let Go pain instead of Numbing it least, we may be Destroyed. Once we let go, we Grow & Glow!

Struggling to handle Pain, Endure or Let it Go? Give it to God! Whoever or whatever your God may be, please Give it to Him. Another option of Talking to the Right people Available. Remember, a Problem shared is Half Solved. I will choose God ❤️

“Behind every beautiful thing, there is some kind of Pain”.- Bob Dylan

The good book in Isaiah 66:9 says: “I will not cause pain unless I want to do something new”. Whether there is Pain or No Pain, God is always always up to bringing forth Newness!

Anytime you see pain, what comes to mind? It means there is something New and Better coming our way. In the meantime,Enjoy learning,the Growth and Lessons.!!!

Do not be dismayed if you do not see beauty in pain. It is a Gradual Process. We are in this Together ❤ and we will work at it. We Only Need to Keep Learning and Avoid Making The Pain of Today Rob us off our Joy.

It is my utmost desire that, this post gives you the room to have a change of thought, to consider a change of heart and give you Hope if you have endured some form of Pain

You and I will begin to appreciate all the Negatives, Hurt and Anxiety we feel as catalysts to render an End result of Newness when God and Time Comes Through!!!

Turn the Pain into Power!!!

Never Give Up!

It took me a while to appreciate and understand what God was doing with my life. One may ask, what is it that took me a while to appreciate?

God had to build Me by jumping hurdles, surmounting potholes, feeling torn, stretched, heavy at some point and dealing with people from diverse backgrounds, with beliefs and perspective a little swayed from the regular person you would deal with.

“Until after 5 years, I did not appreciate the people God brought my way to work with, others to coach and mentor but most importantly how well I should/do handle situations in dealing with others”.

Growing up, I always received the compliment of how Matured I am plus I enjoyed conversations with minds that were older and more experienced than mine.**wink.😊Little did I know that, my kind of maturity was just the preliminary kinda maturity…lol

When I started corporate life, I realised that, there was more to maturity in dealing with life, situations and people. I was tested and squeezed so many times.

Not only that, on a social level in relationships dealing with friends, family and love relationships, I had to unlearn and learn remarkably so much.

Actions and inactions of others triggered wrong emotions. Some people deliberately came at me and others unknowingly came at me to bring out the worse in me. I am sure I have done same to others by bringing the worse in them… 😊All these were for a greater good.

I became molded by these. The after effect, greater self control, listening more, talking less and handling situations and issues in a more civil manner. Less drama, less headaches yet carry messages and learnings across very well.

Those years with many hurdles and issues to deal with were the best years of my life. Years of Darkness, negativity and pain Pas. Keoin Anderson says are the best years of our lives and I completely agree with him on that. Without a blink, life gets better with and after those years.

Mind you, not everyone will see and appreciate how far you have come to talk of acknowledging your level of maturity presently. That may be none of your business. Enjoy the process, learning and appreciate yourself with where you are now. Keep evolving. The right people will appreciate it.

Looking back at my level of maturity now, I understood why I had to deal with situations and people in the past. Glad I have been able to go through this. Still work in progress and learning everyday However, I am so far from where I started from.

God was and has been up to something. There are roles, positions and situations that require a higher level of wisdom, composure and decorum. And to get you to speed and be that qualified and more, you will have to go through all challenges that comes your way

Mine, that in 5 years, I learnt and keep learning even more. Still in the process..Building and learning.

Checked your life and how far you have come? Has God been up to something in yours?

In all these, one beautiful thing for me is the calmness, how light I feel and the peace I enjoy. I am not perplexed neither am I bothered about situations. I have seen too many things to dwell on negativity.

I appreciated life, strengths of others and people genuinely without tagging them to their flaws and short falls and there, I grew.

This evening, after many nights of thinking, I concluded God needed me this way for higher roles and greater calling. Is it always nice and sweet? Hell No. It can be hard sometimes but has all been worth it.

Next time you would want to question life, yourself, others, situations and even God on what you have to endure, remember God being our Father has a purpose to build you into something greater and purposeful. That which will bless others.

With that, you get the opportunity to bless others by teaching and guiding them on how to handle issues, situations and challenges that come their way.

The good book talks about God not giving us more than we can handle. 1 Cor. 10:13 reads:
No temptation [regardless of its source] has overtaken or enticed you that is not common to human experience [nor is any temptation unusual or beyond human resistance]; but God is faithful [to His word—He is compassionate and trustworthy], and He will not let you be tempted beyond your ability [to resist]

So hey, when you cannot go on, please remember God Got This!

He needs your Maturity for the next phase and the goal. Never Give Up!😍

Hope it’s been a good read. Happy to hear your experience. And do not hesitate to comment, life and share if you like it. Thank you for reading. ❤

I just found this in my archives. Facebook reminded me of this from 5 years ago. Yes! As a young manager, then I learned so many things the hard way. And it’s been worth every experience. The woman that I am. The Grace, sufficiency, vindication, and the wisdom of God….Work on your Heart. Just do that. You will Win.

Now my story…

In a bath this morning,I had a thought on something that happened yesterday with some people I find myself around mostly. I found it rather not too nice. Who cares about niceness. Not Acceptable is a Better word.
Then I had to do a recap of other incidence that left me wondering if they are Real.

One word came to mind,”Wickedness!” Yes. And truth is, I have watched them fail in almost everything they do while the evil that was meant for me ended up for my Good. I always succeeded amidst the chaos.
They are not even stopping too, though they fail with the wrong agenda and bad motives….

I asked: What do you even do, especially when they appear good,calm, and collected but with wrong motives and rough hearts. That heart makes others see them to be good and true.

Total deception to all others. As victims, however, we know and see who they are. Evil,coated with sweetness and good!

Now this is what I heard:”It is the Lord that Vindicates”-🙏 The Bible verse in Prov.11:21 came to mind which assures No wicked or evil person will go Unpunished…I felt Peaceful,Better and Vindicated!.

Sometimes,it’s not about who is Stronger,wiser,smarter,or even the No Nonesense kind of Person. Keeping quiet makes you Win.

I further went ahead to Google more Quotations on wickedness and who a wicked person is…They were not Pleasant. Not Not!.”Will be cut off,destroyed,punished,be more wicked,die” and what you may add.
And a wicked person it says “is Evil at Heart, is the Opposite of one who is Gentle,mild and Pliable”.

It made me know that,indeed people will not have their own way if they don’t give themselves the chance to change.
I am not perfect,I am work in progress and am trying!.Never Judging…
Only concerned about the Peace,Happiness and Comfort of others. Myself too!.

Should you feel too much wickedness around you, don’t retaliate and try proving a point in your quest to defend yourself.

God will Vindicate you. It’s okay to feel Foolish. I never heard people die by being Foolish(Quiet), but I have heard and seen others go as a result of being Evil!

Choose Wisely!.
Just Give It Time
Work On The Heart

Happy Tuesday!

January 2016.
