Resolution

in The Word
When faced with challenges most people will look to change the circumstances in order to change the result. It has been my experience that the cycle seems to repeat until I’ve truly understood the situation and its origins. I’ve come to that conclusion because usually that situation repeats itself in my life. This was a massive clue. I’m not perfect and things are repeating in my life and it’s because of that “situation”, the result that has led me to this place, this time, this blog post.
What do I mean by situation? Ok, let’s say falling for the wrong guy… repeatedly. That’s a cycle. This is your third job this year (fired for absenteeism). That’s a cycle. The truth of the matter is, that not many people ask “why?”. We never get to the bottom of the reasons for the repeated results. Well, a light went on for me. I asked why. I’m seeking solution for my situation. I choose to come out of the loop and take this head on.
A word was spoken to me the other day and it continues to ring in my ears right now… RESOLUTION. I searched this word hoping to figure out what was it’s significance in my question “why” and one definition really stuck out…
Resolution : the point in a literary work at which the chief dramatic complication is worked out.
The resolution is the end of the story. It occurs after the CLIMAX. It is when you learn what happens to the characters after the CONFLICT is resolved. I immediately got excited because I knew that my question was about to be answered and this cycle was ending. Woo Hoo!!! Thank you Jesus because I was about to lose my mind. We feel hopeless to the pattern that we seem to struggle with over and over again, we get overwhelmed, over taken, over burdened. I am excited because He has already began to illuminate the situation. There is hope for what seemed like a dead, doomed situation. I knew the cycle was ending and in Him were the only answers.
Psalm 48:2, says He is beautiful for situation. And that He is and through Him my question is being answered. Through Him my situation resolved. As I journey through this solution, I pray that my journey helps you as much as me chronicling it in this blog helps me. To all of you readers, thanks for sticking around here. Some of you I know in real life, others I have forged some surprisingly wonderful relationships with over the internet, others may be readers I don’t even know about. But to all of you, the sentiment is the same. I’m glad to be here with you. When I originally began this blog, I was in a strange time in my life. Most simply, I was in a rut. My life was beginning to seem stagnant, and I needed something new. So I started this blog and it has been a way for me to share my life and reflections, and to cultivate my personal creativity. I blog because I love it. I blog because somehow, someway the words on this screen are a help to someone. I hope you continue to Let Me Help You… and in return you can help me.
