Don’t sit around waiting for someone who has taken a walk ‘off’ your life, to come back.
(Unknown)
“If only, if only I’ve done this or said this… I should have… I wish I did this…”.
These thoughts keep going round and round in your head. You waited and waited, hoping that the person will come back. You’re so filled with fear… doubt? Wondering where that person is. Your heart is troubled. But seasons passed and time passes. Still no news… So does this mean no news is good news?
You feel as if everyone who means something to you leaves you. You feel so ashamed. You feel as if the whole world walks away from you. No! Don’t believe that!
You’re precious! Even if you don’t feel it yet. Just don’t get lock up in the hurtful past. Let it go, let the person go. Whatever the reason is, get up! You’ve waited long enough. Don’t spend your life in a limbo. Get going, get on with your life. The world. may not mean anything to you, but you have missed out on so much. The wound cannot even turn into a scar because it is still festering and you’re occupied with thoughts of “Why? Why?
Some people will tell you to let go because if it is yours, it will return. I tell you don’t even dwell on that. As you may be hanging on to false hope that will hurt you more than heal you.
Start with letting go and trusting that what is in the future will be better than what you have right now – which is nothing much anyway.
If whatever you’re waiting for comes back then you would have become a different person and it’s ok, because the one you are waiting for would also have changed. Time changes everyone. No one lives in a limbo. Not even an 18th century village that has stood the test of time. Everything in that village that is dead is preserved as best as it possibly can to look as if nothing changed. But the people in that village has changed.
So first step – accept that you should just move on and get hold of your life. You’re stronger than you think you are. Everyone makes their own choices. Sometimes they choose to leave, and you have a choice too.
Second step -you have a choice to live well. Don’t hide. Don’t allow yourself to be overwhelmed by grief or shame or guilt. There may be others around you waiting for you to stand up again. Do them and yourself a favor, find the will to live again.
Third step – don’t believe the lie that there is no hope. There is always hope. You may not feel it right now, but just choose to live. Get involve with others. There may be others who are hurting like you, who may appreciate a helping hand.
Finally, rest assured you’re not alone. It’s your choice. Get up and get out there. Step into a new day, you can rise from the pain of that hurtful past. Don’t hang on to the fear that others will walk away from you too. Cut off that evil thought. You don’t need to accept that. Leave the past, and walk ahead. A new day is waiting for you!
Listen to this song, there really is a God who stays. Give God a chance! What have you to lose. He never leaves you! If only you really know how precious you are to Him. He may be running into your direction with wide open arms.
If you don’t believe this, it’s ok, just enjoy the song anyway.
