You are NOT Your Circumstances Past or Present
Good Morning. I was watching a movie called “The Ride” the other day which told the story of John McCord, a BMX champion. For all who does not know what BMX is, it stands for bicycle motor cross. They’re the guys on television you may see that’s riding a bike on these ramps, and doing all these cool tricks.
Anyway, after many years of being in foster care, an interracial couple brought John into their home to see if adoption was possible. He couldn’t understand why this couple would want him. He stated in one part of the movie and I’m paraphrasing, that he was nothing, and would be nothing just like his dad. All he had seen in his life was hurt and pain, therefore he caused hurt and pain as well.
The part that I failed to mention in the beginning was that he was taught to dislike and hate African Americans. Yet it was an African American man who loved him, supported him, and taught him that he was not his past circumstances. Wow! Let me tell you how that just resonated with me. The one you least expect can be the one that brings you to where God needs and wants you to be. God is so awesome. John overcame and so can you.
Do you trust God enough to see pass what’s in front of you? Do you trust God enough to know he can bring you out of whatever you are in? Do you know that any and all mistakes that you have made does not define you? Do you know how good your God is? If not, get in your word. Seek him daily. Have a Blessed Day!
