Everyday
life presents challenges that demand reevaluation of past choices. Intense
conflict or crisis requires determination to set in place a desirable outcome. Reframing
necessitates being open to alternative behaviors and opinions in order for conflict
to be managed successfully.
The prodigal son lost his way but made
a decision that changed his life. Reframing meant visualizing an alternative to
the abject poverty of his body and soul. Reframing gave him courage to rise up from
shame and failure and find his way home. He found hope for his life in spite of
the hardships he brought on himself.
Isn't it just like God to extend his
grace and mercy to us, to supply answers to hard questions, and help us find our
way back home? God gives us the will to face reality regardless of how that
reality is defined. He gives insight for making choices that will change the downward
spiral that your life is taking. Ask him to help you do this today.
