What if?

Life has a way of humbling us sometimes
Life has a way of making us know it will get better
Life has a way of teaching us about itself
But in it all, is it life?

Have you ever thought about why the day was very bad?
Have you ever paused to think of all the goodness you have enjoyed?
Have you asked why you are the only one going through the same pain over and over again?
Have you ever wondered if you were a curse?
Have you ever desired something so good?
Have you ever desired to escape the world?

Yes, I have, and I believe you have as well.
There may not be better days right now
The pain
The repetitions
The stagnancy
The continuous love received from that one annoying person
The anger
The disappointments
The confusion
The unhealthy habits
The many ailments
The 'incurable' diseases
The financial challenges
They are there

What if the pain is for a greater good?
What if the pain was to bring you closer to the past you refused to face?
What if the confusion in that place is to help you escape a tragedy?
What if that splash of water was to get you away from death?
What if the admission was to bring unity amongst your family?
What if your failure was to take you on a different path to success?
What if the love from your enemy is there to heal your heart and free you from pain?
What if the repetitions are revealing the true solutions?
What if the disappointment is an appointment?
What if the turn of events is for a better opportunity?

Yes. It may not be so
Things happen
Delays happen
Our actions, decisions, and implementation cause things to happen
Yes, they do

But when we identify the pattern
When we see something uncommon
When we experience something different
When we get to our breaking point
There we begin to ask, 'What if?'
We question our faith and all that there is.

We desire a personal or comforting answer to make us better
We therefore create our "what if?'
Whether positive or negative, we give our minds the opportunity and authority to hold on to our thoughts and ride with them.
Our mind begins to shape our reality
The mind's 'what if' becomes our reality

Yes, what if?
As you consider the negative
What if it's the opposite?
Feed your mind right.
The what-if gets to be positive based on the mind you carry
That which we think of, ponder, consume, and walk with becomes our reality.

To demonstrate God's good and perfect will, the word of God instructs us to be transformed by renewing our minds rather than to conform to this world.
The transformation and renewal of the mind brings clarity
It brings direction
It brings newness
It transforms.

What if we renewed our minds by the word?
What if we thought positively according to his will?
What if our tongue declared who we truly are in His words
What if we walked in our high place as sons of God
What if...
What if...
What is your 'what if' today?
