You're being condition for your space at the top!


I want to encourage that person who has been so deeply wounded and has concluded that life is just a
circle of sadness and traps of disappointment and despair. Before you make your next move, just hear me out for a few seconds.

Using myself as an example, I have taken my life's struggles, pains, disappointments, and failures and used them as a new lens regarding viewing life. Like you, I have had so many that have let me down: unexplainable hurts, broken promises, and the relentless thoughts of life's purpose.

There were times when I felt as if praying was a waste of my time, to the point I had actually stopped praying (which I do not recommend). The abovementioned challenges were doing more for me than I could have imagined. Like everything else in life, every matter, every situation, and life's circumstances, there is a time frame for it to exist. However, during its tenure, we have been conditioned to focus on the negative aspects of it as opposed to viewing it as a new lesson to be successful at future tests. In retrospect, I can indeed thank God for every stumbling block, every setback, every disappointment, and everything else that was unfairly issued to me. Now that the tenure of those challenges has ended. My view of life has changed dramatically; I have developed a greater appreciation and understanding of life.

My friend, hear me today: the worst mistake you could make is to give up, cave in, or throw in the towel. In doing this, you are tossing out the ingredients specifically designed to prepare you for what you're being conditioned for. This is why God rarely informs folks of the details of their process. For example, can you imagine if God said to Joseph, you will be second in charge of Egypt, but before that happens, your brothers will hate you, you will be sold into slavery, you will be falsely accused of rape and thrown into prison for something you did not do? He would have said, "I would love to be second in charge of Egypt, but if I have to go through all that, forget it!" If you read Joseph's story carefully, every struggle he encountered was in preparation for where he was headed.

Again, I want to tell someone tonight: DO NOT GIVE UP! DO NOT GIVE IN! If viewed correctly, your challenges are temporary and conditioning you for greater. You will experience your turn at the helm, but you must be trained before your arrival there.............

The bottom line is that life will always seem difficult, sad, disappointing, and the like when one is being conditioned for change. My friend, your challenges prepared you to appreciate and maintain what has been set aside for you. You can not enjoy or even handle what's awaiting your arrival with your current state of mind. In fact, your current state of mind is an enemy of your future!
