Life Lines
By Linda Lariscey
CHANGE YOUR PATH
CHANGE YOUR REALITY
God. I invite your searching gaze into my
heart... See if there is any path of pain I'm
walking on, and lead me back to your glorious,
everlasting ways—the path that brings me back
to yon. Psalms 139:23-24 (TPT)
Moving forward in life is impossible if you’re squarely on a path of
pain. If you're stuck, have enough courage to ask God, "what’s my
problem?" It’s incredible how adept human beings are at shutting
down the emotions that keep them at bay. Take guilt, for example. It's
standard equipment on every model of humanity. People feel guilty
even when they have no cause to be. But if you are responsible for
someone's pain, humble yourself and genuinely apologize for your
wrongdoing. In due time your engines will start humming again, and
you will be on your way.
Rejection in whatever form it takes can lock you down in a prison
of your own making. Every person on planet earth knows the pain
of rejection. Unfortunately, many numb themselves to it through
destructive habits ora hard outer shell. Fear of rejection will stop you
from taking risks, make you a people pleaser, and steal your voice.
Grief, when in excess, will immortalize the pain of our past. The future
holds no hope for those trapped in the past. Brooding over one-time
events that are full of sadness gets you nowhere. Mulling over past
failures and fateful mistakes will kill any hope for a life full of promise.
The Lord will show you how to reframe every bad thing that has
happened to you. You must begin to see things for yourself and
come out of denial. The Lord's grace will help you to move forward.
In Him, you can exchange your path of pain for His glorious path
that brings you to Him. His plans for you will not harm you. They will
prosper you. Today He sets before you life and death, blessings and
curse; choose wisely, friend!

tween home and Los Angeles.
I don’t believe he thought
that the technique would have
to be implemented at home
where we are free to roam
around the house or walk the
acres of the Rondarosa.
“One of these days....” I
keep saying to Tink, who has
learned quickly the mountain
way of “payin’ no never mind.”
I thought “one of these days”
had finally arrived. Both of
Tink’s brothers had suffered
some heart issues and when the
healthiest one, who exercises
vigorously and eats healthy,
needed surgical intervention,
Tink said, “Maybe I should be
checked.”
He made the appointments.
On the night before the results
of the litany of tests were to
be explained, he was restless.
Worried. Even scared.
“Oh baby, what if?”
Continued from 5
I felt compassion and tried
to comfort him. “Then, we will
thank the Lord that we caught
it before it caught you.”
With hung head and fur
rowed brow, he went off to
the doctor’s office for the big
news. Forty five minutes later,
he called.
“Aha!” His voice rang with
glee. “I’m in perfect health. All
my arteries are clean!”
“Dang.” A stream of annoy
ance ran over me. I will not he.
“Are you serious??”
He howled with laughter.
“This really gets you, doesn’t
it?”
“I’m glad that you are okay,”
I replied calmly. “Jesus is be
ing awfully sweet to you.” I
paused. “Because one of these
days...”
This is Ronda’s side of the
story. Tink told his side in last
week’s column.
