Mountains to Move ~ Does It Need Moving

Greetings Dear Reader,

When we ponder the mountains we need to move or the obstacles in our way, we need to consider first if the mountain needs moving.  Too often, our doubts and fears make it seem that there are obstacles that do not really exist.  In identifying the things that are not real hindrances to our progress, we can ignore them.

We use fear and doubt to create blockers to our own progress.  Our culture is filled with people who are convinced that their trauma needs to be their banner.  Instead of genuine forgiveness and healing, we cultivate the problems, the hurt, and the drama into mountains we refuse to scale or remove.

I will never deny someone their pain or hurt over a traumatic event.  The hurt and harm are genuine.  It is feeding off of them for months or years that becomes a problem.  Everyone has hurts and fears.  We either compare them to make an excuse or we compare them to minimize them.  Another person’s pain is as real to them as yours is to you, Dear Reader.  Sometimes instead of moving that mountain, we need to help them over it.  Scaling and descending the mountain in our way is a great way to put it behind us.

The mountain does not always need to be thrown into the sea.  Sometimes the only way out is over it.  It is then that we can get over it.  It is then that we can allow real healing and put the obstacles in our rearview.  When our pain and hurt seem to be barriers to progress, we must assail them.  We do not fight alone.  We can climb them and put them in the past.

The Father promises to be with us.  The Son will lead us.  It is only in the work of climbing some of the mountains that we find peace and freedom.  We cannot afford to sit at the base of the mountain and mourn our inability to move on.  That is a great and terrible lie that will hinder us from faith and following.  It is the way that destroys us, Dear Reader.

Wishing you joy in the journey,

Every human story is part of the great story that leads to the Father getting everything back to Good.

If our past trauma and pain remain the obstacle in our future, that obstacle becomes our god.
