Transition is defined as the process or a period of changing from one state of mind or condition to another.
Change is inevitable and it’s something that each of us must go through whether we choose to, or forced to. It’s similar to the process of “metamorphosis”, which is the process of transformation from an immature form to an adult form; or change in the form or nature of a thing or person into a completely different one by nature or by super natural means.
Your interpretation of change all depends on your view, your adaption, and how you react to change. Change has the ability to either make us better or bitter; stronger and wiser or weaker. It can make or break you…..it all depends on you. In order for each of us to accomplish our goals, and to experience the abundant life God has for us, we must all experience change. It’s a part a life that helps us to grow. We must all have our turn as the clay, allowing God to be the potter to mold us and prepare us for what’s ahead. When God gets ready and when he sees fit, He has the ability to catapult each of us to heights beyond our wildest dream; beyond what the natural eye can see, beyond what we believe in our hearts. Sometimes, the spirit of fear may creep in and you may not feel ready, but when God is ready He just doesn’t let you walk out on unsure grounds, but He provides the safety net, which is Him. Ask yourself this question, “Will you ever be ready?”
The transition phase isn’t always comfortable, or as the old folks say, “it won’t always be a bed of roses. But sometimes it may be beds of thrones, it may be hills, vallies, and even ditches. But God will equip you with what’s needed to overcome that uncomfortable phase. The transition phrase doesn’t only effect you, but it effect those around you. It’s effects family and friends, associates, coworkers, and any other person(s) that’s surrounds you. Not everyone will view your transition as good; and some will view it as not so good. But your time of transition isn’t for everyone to accept, but it’s for you.
During this time you’ll encounter a view people along the way:
1. The Doubter: the person who questions of lacks faith in your dream or you.
2. The Dream Killer: someone that drains the life from your dream. Someone who can see you successful. They see the ordinary, but not the extraordinary.
3. Frenemy: someone who supports you, your dreams, and your endeavors verbally, but their actions sing a different tune.
These may be people that are your love ones, those you consider friends or associates. They don’t appreciate your change and is viewed as something bad. In other words, they may feel you are leaving them behind, or there maybe no longer room for them, or it may just be jealousy, merely because your staircase is appearing, and they are still in the lobby waiting. Realize that God knows exactly who to place in your life, and who to remove. God will not allow detrimental relationships to erupt what He is building. Letting go of folks isn’t always an easy task, but trust God’s plan for your life even when you can’t see the blueprint.
Embrace your season of transition. God has a pruning plan to rid your life of any and all things that are not beneficial to His plan for your life. Everything must change, even as scripture declares:
3 There is a time<span class="crossreference" value="(A)” style=”font-weight: bold; vertical-align: top;”> for everything,
and a season for every activity under the heavens:
2 a time to be born and a time to die,
a time to plant and a time to uproot,<span class="crossreference" value="(B)” style=”font-weight: bold; vertical-align: top;”>
3 a time to kill<span class="crossreference" value="(C)” style=”font-weight: bold; vertical-align: top;”> and a time to heal,
a time to tear down and a time to build,
4 a time to weep and a time to laugh,
a time to mourn and a time to dance,
5 a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them,
a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing,
6 a time to search and a time to give up,
a time to keep and a time to throw away,
7 a time to tear and a time to mend,
a time to be silent<span class="crossreference" value="(D)” style=”font-weight: bold; vertical-align: top;”> and a time to speak,
8 a time to love and a time to hate,
a time for war and a time for peace.
Your season of transition is underway…….are you ready?!? I pray this blessed your spirit as it did mine as I was writing it. Have a blessed and wonderful week. ~Blessings Flow
