I am reminded of the popular animation series with Princess Elsa with magical powers she was unable to control. Due to this, there was a gap in her relationship with Princess Anna(her sister).
Let it go
Let it go
I can’t hold it back anymore…
I am sure these lyrics ring a bell, but have you truly let go?
To be Frozen means to be static.
To be Frozen means to be trapped just like water can be trapped as ice(solid state).
God is in motion.
God is ‘I AM THAT I AM’. He becomes what you need him to be at that particular time. God ‘is not’ a healer neither is he a provider nor the one who sees.
God is ‘I AM’
He became those ‘labels’ because that was what we needed him to be at that time.
God is beyond all the labels.
God is…
Since we are made in his image and after his likeness, we are to also be in motion.
We are not to be frozen. Unfortunately, we have a lot of Imago Dei’s trapped in their experiences who respond to things from the lens of their experiences instead of God’s word.
BK, what do you mean?
Could it be that the reason why you are not applying for that course is that you are trapped in your experience of rejection?
Could it be that the reason why you are not taking that step is because you are frozen in fear?
Could it be that the reason why your friendships are failing is because you are frozen in hurt?
Could it be that the reason why you can’t relate to the fatherhood of God is cause the word ‘Father’ triggers you?
Could it be that you despise marriage because you had false images of marriage?
Could it be that you are scared of being vulnerable cause you were taken advantage of as a child?
If only we become aware that sometimes our response to situations is from the lens of being frozen in past experiences.
We need to start asking ourselves deep questions.
Why did I react that way?
Why did that statement trigger me to anger?
What am I afraid of being vulnerable with people?
From what lens of my past brought about this response?
Trauma is deep.
Trauma is being trapped in an experience mostly negative.
To be traumatised is to be frozen.
It is time to let go.
Princess Elsa was trapped in the fear of hurting Anna with her powers. Their relationship became better when she let go.
Some of us are in our twenties but we are very much trapped in our childhood.
It is time to be unfrozen.
For Ice to melt, it has to be left in an environment whose temperature is greater than its temperature.
You can only be ‘unfrozen’ in the environment called GOD.
LET THERE BE LIGHT!
Selah!
