Closet Pain

"Victory is won not in miles but in inches. Win a little now, hold your ground, and later, win a little more."
~ Louis L'Amour

This reminds me of 2 Corinthians 3:18 when it says, “But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.”

The goal is to try your best. If you are making a solid effort to work on yourself, to come up higher, to be open for improvement, then I believe God is smiling on you. God wants us to come up higher. God wants to see us through our situations because HE knows promotion is on the other side. When you go through your situation, you are being changed. The change occurs one step at a time, inch by inch, victory by victory, glory by glory.

Think of a chore that can seem overwhelming; For example, cleaning out your closet and getting it organized. For some of us, this closet chore can seem like a real pain. But if you tackle it one section at a time, maybe spilt it up into a couple of days, shop for fun organizing gadgets, then before you know it, the chore is complete and you feel so accomplished and happy that it got done…like a weight is off your shoulders. The same principals apply in life. If you tackle your situation section by section, spread it out over some time, and sprinkle spiritual wisdom over it, then the situation is conquered…and the weight is off your shoulders.   

Your closet pain will become weight off your shoulders, so I encourage you to keep stretching yourself, keep allowing God to mold you…step by step, inch by inch, glory by glory.
