Cracks in the Foundation
It rained a lot the other day and unfortunately we found a leak in our place. We never knew it was there because it never rained that much.?
When the sun is shining and the weather is great you don’t realize there are holes that make leaks possible. But when the storms come and the rain pours down, it reveals the cracks and holes you have.
You know where I’m going with this. When life is good and everything is going great, you don’t think you have any issues.?
But when adversity strikes and the storms of life come your way it reveals the cracks in your foundation you didn’t know were there.?
These moments can cause you to question who you are, what you are made of and whether you were as strong as you thought. Challenges often reveal the cracks in your identity, character and confidence. They expose the wounds you carry and holes in your soul.?
During these times you can allow the revelation of these cracks to break you or cause you to seek ways to break through.?
You can believe storms are happening to you or for you.?
You can allow adversity to weaken you and crush your identity or find ways to, reinforce your core and become even stronger.?
Finding holes may be difficult, inconvenient and cause a lot of temporary pain and frustration but they are also great opportunities to fix what is broken, heal the wounds, fill the holes and become whole.

1 年Powerful revelations here! It behooves us all to see what our foundation is made of and to see what’s been hiding behind the old wall paper.

1 年Great post Jon! I think if we are all honest with ourselves, there are always moments that cause us to question who we are and what's really most important. It's been said that our real growth occurs in the valleys more than it does on the mountaintops. I believe that is analogous to the cracks that are revealed in our lives when tough stuff happens…There is tremendous power in the valley as that environment has a unique way of stripping away the things that are unimportant and revealing things that are important – only if we take a posture of humility, and open our hearts and minds to be vulnerable and learn, and to treat this time as constructive – we can either get convicted or condemned! Being at peace with who we are, who’s we are, and that we are all works-in-progress, is an important perspective.?
