good food for the soul

there is this article where i read entitled the three things that we can do to get unstuck.

the fullness of who God wants us to be will only come when we are willing to take a risk and act in spite of fear.
experience is not the best teacher. evaluated experience is the best teacher.
we all have blind spots and cannot see problems that are too close to us. we need to open ourselves up to scrutiny and allow other to help us process what went wrong.
evaluating takes time and brutal commitment to truth. cannot be done overnight.
take time to heal, process and evaluate.
to properly evaluate what went wrong, it takes outside input and humility.
with right input and evaluation, we can put ourselves on a path that will ensure us not to make the same mistake again.

Romans 8:1 there is no condemnation in Christ. He still loves us no matter what and He has a plan. God is relentless in giving us chances but they will all require risk.

Proverbs 4:23 choose to forgive those who have hurt us. forgiveness that can only come from God's grace. God can give the grace and power to forgive if we want to move into all God has for us.

constantly guard our heart from bitterness.

John 10:10 abundant life is what Jesus promises.

life is hard and sometimes we have to fight for the fullness of life He promises by getting past these failures that hold us back.

* do the hard work of acting in spite of fear, forgiving and evaluating and you will find yourself surging forward once again.
