Your Question:
Why can't I just be normal again?
Answer:
My friend, I can sense the weight of discouragement and frustration in your words. You're feeling like you've lost your way, like you're not the person you used to be. I understand that feeling, having walked through my own share of struggles and doubts. But let me tell you, my friend, you're not alone in this. We all go through seasons of feeling lost and uncertain. As a pastor, I've seen many people struggle with the same feelings of hopelessness and despair. But I've also seen the power of God's love and redemption transform lives. It's not about being "normal" again, but about being transformed by the power of God's Spirit. It's about surrendering to Him, allowing Him to work out His ultimate perfection in us, even when we don't understand what's happening. You see, my friend, we're not the same people we were before. We've been shaped by our experiences, our struggles, and our triumphs. And that's okay. That's where growth happens. It's not about going back to who we used to be, but about embracing who we're becoming in Christ. So, I encourage you to look beyond your present troubles, to see the lessons God is trying to teach you, and to trust in His goodness and love for you.
