Forget Not The Milestones.....

Forget Not The Milestones.......

An attitude of gratitude includes celebrating the milestones in our lives...

A Milestone is defined as a significant event or stage in life... also explained as “reference points” in a journey.

They are those significant blessings on our path to destiny.  When God reveals Himself in our weakness, when He births miracles right before our eyes, when He restores more than we had lost.... all these are those defining moments of significance.

Milestones either show you how far you`ve come, how much you`ve overcome and how much you`ve grown from the person you used to be!  If we look at ourselves closely, we are not the same folk we used to be, we`ve evolved, changed, had the courage to let go of what we used to desperately clutch to in favour of being spiritually attuned to God.

Milestones are those defining moments that brought a significant change or breakthroughs in our lives.  They are those strokes of grace, nothing short of God`s favour and blessing.  You alone know the struggles you`ve faced, the pain endured, the dry seasons of testing and the tears shed in secret. But God`s grace brought peace in the trying times, healing in the secret places and favour in new territories,

At times your milestones are in the steps of progress, in the achievements or even in the breakthroughs.  In hindsight, you are an overcomer, an achiever even a survivor.    

I urge you to take moments of self reflection to note every milestone or stage in your life, that brings you so much praise and appreciation of your progress in this life`s journey.  Whatever it may be, take cognisance of it, not forgetting the dark seasons, the rocky paths and trials you had to endure in birthing the profound lessons you now uphold.

Whenever we have the occasional self doubts or even doubting God Himself, take moments of reflection and realise, Gods been faithfully working silently in the hidden areas of your life, and has been bringing change in the perches of your life.

“You may not be where you want to be, but praise God you not where you used to be...“  you have grown, matured, and no-longer struggle with formidable strongholds.  You've  garnered unshakable hope, resilient courage and strength to let go of what no-longer served you and embraced what only is beneficial to your life.

“He Is your praise and He Is your God, Who has done these great and awesome things for you which your eyes have seen...” Deuteronomy 10:21


His Beloved
