This is very true. Two people can be given the same situation and each end up in a totally different place at the end of the journey. Every obstacle there is a choice behind it, how you deal, how you handle, the words you utter, do you run away or stay put? Some people lock themselves away, hide because they would not be able to face anything else possibly occurring on their plate. Others run into the face of chaos and let it spill over into their lives losing all sight and control over themselves. Emotions triggered, harming people standing in their way. Some need to be alone, some need to be surrounded by people. These are places we have all been at one point or another. Our emotions streaming through our veins so ferociously, doing anything to be able to let all the pain, sadness, or anger be relinquished.
So back to reaction.....it is your choice. It can harm those around you, it can be an encouragement. Each choice having its own road, its own place to travel. When I was a young girl, no matter what it was that upset me, I always ran away. My heart felt like it was on the edge of explosion. Tear ducts filling with water, I always had to evacuate the scene knowing within seconds I would be a complete and utter mess. When I ran away, it was my escape, the one time when, according to my mind, no one could possibly find me. I needed that peace to cope, to clear my senses, and reflect on what had just caused such an emotional reaction within me. I cried it out, took some deep breathes, then when I gained composure, I would find my way back home.
As I am getting older, I have experienced some tragedies, some miracles, but the best thing that has ever happened to me was being rescued by Jesus Christ. No matter where I am, what I do, and what happens next, He is ALWAYS my Safe Haven and Comforting Place catching every single one of my tears drops and supporting me every step of the way. Cheering me on, Lifting me up, Counseling my heart. He protects me with His Fatherly Love, Listens to me as My Beloved Friend, and Holds me Like the Adoring Bridegroom He is to His bride.
This world hurts, it shatters my heart at times. This world has tried to destruct my dreams. This world has blinded me from the Truth. But none of that matters, because I have a Savior who is Has overcome the world. He has conquered, He proclaims, and His Love is more Powerful than any other form of existence. He is the Creator of creation, there is nothing that can measure to the one who has developed measurement in the first place.
When hopelessness fills me, I wipe away any tears that may be veiling my eyes, and am exposed to the Depths of His Presence and Realness to us all. I only hope that if you already haven't, you see Jesus for who He really is, because Love is who He is, and we were made to do nothing but Love in His Name.
