Stuck In The Mud

It's #FreedomFriday ladies and gents! Just as the quote states, we are incapable of reaching our goals, our potential, and our overall freedom by hanging on to things or people that are meant to be in our past. It is like trying to get a car out of the mud. No matter how much we press our feet on the gas, scream, or turn our wheel the car is still stuck. All it is actually doing is digging a deeper hole and creating an even bigger mess. So, we then call for help. Whether it be triple A, a friend, or relative we usually have someone on our mechanical speed dial to get us out of this messy situation. Let's use this same narrative for our lives shall we?  For whatever reason, we may end up in our "metaphorical mud pit." In so many cases, we get involved with people who were never meant or sent to last for the long haul yet we keep them around not knowing it is causing us to lack progression. Ever been around people who are not helping you get further in life? We should be surrounded around those who challenge us to do better, inspirational, encouraging, supportive, self less, and caring people. Those are attachable people. The detachable are the discouragers, judgmental, hypocritical, selfish, and unloving people. Hanging around people of that nature is a sure way to end up "stuck in the mud."

Yes, sometimes we can't avoid those people because we want to be "good saints" and give everyone a chance. So yeah we may overlook certain negative characteristics in people that will cause the sticky situation. Just like it takes help to get out of the mud in the narrative, it does spiritually as well. We develop certain connections with people over time whether it be good or bad and just because we are connected doesn't mean it is a godly connection. That is where Christ comes into action. He is willing and able to help us out of life's muddy ordeals. Daily attaching a piece of Him to us in itself will detach everything and everyone that is keeping us from what we deserve. He said that He came that we may have life, not death and more abundantly, and not just going through the motions. So I challenge you to write down what you deserve and stick to it. Don't settle. Don't go backwards. Stick to your guns and don't get "stuck in the mud."
