This jeans doesn't fit me, Arrggghhhhh I'll try the next one she thought as frustration slowly crept in... The length of this one is just wrong, so off it came!!!
Well I'll try the next one... She kept this up for about 10 minutes and then she took a break...
'I'm in desperate need of a pair of jeans and I am not leaving this shop without one' she said to herself.
With new determination, she went back to the racks and began her search anew.... She brought out about 5 pairs and set about trying them all....
The first one didn't sit right, she sought opinions from those outside and got lots of ooohs and aaahhhhs and that looks great on you.... But she knew in her heart this wasn't her pair,something about it was off.
On came the next one... Nah she thought as it didn't flatter her... The next was too big.... And the next too small....
By now she had broken out in a sweat.. The place was getting hotter by the second but she persevered...
She knew what 'her jeans' would feel like when she wore them... She didn't know what color they would be, what designs they would have, how much thet would cost or if she would find them; but one thing she knew for sure was that when she finally wore 'her jeans' she would recognize it by the feeling it evoked from within her....
She got a taste of that feeling when she wore the next pair... It felt good, it wasn't perfect but it had an element of what she was looking for so she decided to take it. There was one pair left and she decided to give it a shot!!!
PERFECT... The joy that flooded her soul when she wore that last pair was indescribable... That was 'her jeans' the one she had been searching for all along; and when she got it, the time, effort and energy spent on the other ones faded away... The joy was the only thing she knew...
Then the Holy Spirit said ' Life is like that, you have to know what you want and be prepared to push through 'stuff' to get it... 'FAITH is the ASURANCE of things HOPED FOR, the EVIDENCE of things NOT SEEN'.
WHAT DO YOU WANT??? Maybe it doesn't have a name or description, maybe you can't define it... Maybe the only thing you have is a conviction that when it/he/she or they show up you will know...
Feed your faith well and you will see that which you desire...
Till then don't get discouraged sorting through 'stuff'...
Shalom and Thanks for reading!!!
