āChangeā
Are you like me and do not accept change easilyš³. When life presents the inevitable task of change it brings the questions āwhy God, where am I headed, and how do I do this!ā Along with many othersš¤.
Change if focused on God and not continually on our circumstances will bring growth and will allow God to fulfill His purpose in our lives.
I read this post today and wanted to share it with you! Though we may suffer loss of loved ones, jobs, disappointments, people come in and out of our lives, moving transitions, etc. God has not forsaken our overlooked us; Heās just allowing you to trust Him as you make your way through change.š
If youāre struggling today, and your life is taking a CHANGE or loss God is still on the move tooš.
Be blessed today and be a blessing because somone š¤ needs you!
At the age of 40, Franz Kafka (1883-1924), a man who never married and had no children, was strolling through a park in Berlin when he encountered a young girl in tears. She had lost her beloved doll, and despite their efforts, the doll was nowhere to be found.
Seeing her distress, Kafka told the girl to meet him at the same spot the next day, and they would continue searching. The following day, when they still couldn't find the doll, Kafka handed the girl a letter "written" by the doll. The letter explained, "Please don't cry. Iāve gone on a journey to explore the world. Iāll write to you about my adventures."
This began a series of letters that Kafka continued to write for the girl, each one detailing the dollās travels and experiences. The letters were filled with imaginative tales and heartfelt messages, bringing joy and comfort to the girl as she eagerly awaited each new letter.
Eventually, Kafka returned to the park with a doll he had purchased, telling the girl that her doll had finally come back to Berlin. When the girl noticed the doll didnāt look the same, Kafka handed her another letter from the doll. In it, the doll explained, "My travels have changed me." With that, the little girl embraced the new doll and took it home, content and happy.
A year later, Kafka passed away.
Many years after his death, the now-grown woman discovered a tiny letter hidden inside the doll. The letter, signed by Kafka, read: "Everything you love will probably be lost, but in the end, love will return in another way."
This story reminds us to embrace change, as it is essential for growth. Lifeās transformations can be difficult, and loss is inevitable, but love has a way of reappearing, often in forms we never expected. Itās up to us to be open to this change and to consciously create connections that transform pain into wonder and love.
