- Things getting worse before they get better is a theme all throughout the Bible. There are so many stories in the Bible where just before something wonderful and beautiful happened, there was a struggle and there was strife.
- What is it about things being darkest before the dawn? It’s like we are going through life wanting something, and we want it so dearly that we have this kind of white-knuckle response to it where we’re just hanging on to this thing that we want.
- When there’s this tension or resistance, it energetically makes it harder for what you want to really enter your life.
- There is an element of grace that comes with ‘surrender’. Something happens around the surrender point where you kind of give up a little bit.
- Really and truly, things can seem on the surface to be worse before they get better. But there is change happening.
- When there’s a corner of your life that is needing change, you get a feel for what’s serving you and what isn’t, what you’re going to keep and what you’re going to get rid of, and there can be disorder and chaos. But it’s okay. Just push through. It’s all in the pursuit of things being better.
