Here
to There concept…
Here is where you are at right now –
spiritually, financially, in relationships, career, education, mentally, emotionally,
and faith walk with Jesus Christ. God does not want you to get comfortable
“Here” because He wants to bring you to a place where you will be more like
Christ. That place is “There”. “
There is where you should be. Not always where
you want to be, or where your friends tell you. It’s not even in some cases
where you thought you would ever go. But it’s God’s place for you. And once
you arrive I promise you will thank God for bringing you “There”. The
toughest part is neither “Here” nor “There” but “The Land Between”.
The
Land Between is neither here nor there. It is a place you must go
through to: heal, experience, learn, and grow. This is the place of
uncertainly, the place where God’s chisel is most active. It can be an
extremely difficult and painful place but God gives you the strength, peace,
comfort, wisdom, - everything you need for the journey if you Trust Him.
From
“Here” to “The Land Between” to “There” is a never ending cycle while we are
this side of heaven. Our “Theres” eventually become “Heres” and then God will
move us to “The Land Between”. We are either in a trial, coming out of a
trial or going into a trial and that pretty much defines our cycle.
We
need to open our eyes, minds, and heart to what God has in store for us. We
must be honest with ourselves on where we are and why. Amen?
