Christian Relationship Help - Accept The Things You Cannot Change And Make Choices With The Options

by Karla Downing  
3/14/2012 / Relationships


This Christian relationship help will enable you to accept the things you cannot change and make choices with the options you have. The key to surrender is accepting the facts of the situation.

While I was in Hawaii on vacation, a three-year-old girl was in the Jacuzzi. Her mom was standing on the side, telling her she only had five more minutes to be in there. When the five minutes were up, the little girl began to whine for more time, bargaining for just three more minutes. The mom did the obligatory explaining, arguing, pleading, and threatening while counting "1, 2, and 3 is coming. I am almost there. Don't make me get you out. I won't be happy." The little girl continued to argue and cry saying, "I don't want to get out!" Finally, the exasperated Mom said, "It isn't your choice anymore." The little girl responded, "But, I want choices! I want to stay in!" The mom finally resorted to pulling her out of the Jacuzzi, as she protested with tears. The little girl did have a choice, obey her mom or not; get out or be pulled out. She didn't have a choice to stay in.

We are like that little girl. We don't like the choices we have in our lives, so instead of dealing with reality, we waste our energy arguing with God about what He has allowed in our lives. We argue with the people in our lives that we want to be different and try to force them to change. We refuse to accept reality and make choices with the options that are available to us. Instead, we want something that doesn't exist. While we are doing this, we are wasting time and energy. When we don't like our choices, we fight with the circumstances and try to force them to change, instead of making the choice that is before us. We stay stuck. Applying this Christian relationship help will enable you to accept the things that you can't change and choose between the choices you have enabling you to make progress in areas you have been stuck in.
