On the other day, as I was leaving the parking lot of this new grocery store, I noticed several dark-colored spots in some of the parking spaces. Now I'm sure those spots were illuminated, even though it was dark out, because that is a freshly cemented lot. I immediately said to myself, "I'm not the only one with an oil-leak"! LOL! Now, I'm sure that ALL of those weren't oil-spots but I was for certain that they were from some type of fluid-leak in a car. Either way, I saw that I wasn't alone. This may seem small to some but it was major for me to look pass the frustration of my leak to see that I'm not the only one with a leak.
You see sometimes when "life" happens it has the potential to overwhelm us, especially when we focus more on our problems, circumstances, or situations. It is in those times when we have to simply pause and look around and we'll see that we're not the only one going through something. We may not all have the same issue but it's encouraging sometimes to see that we're not the only ones with an issue. Often times the enemy wants us to magnify our problem because when we do that, our focus is off to the point where we won't even see what God is trying to show us. God doesn't always show or give us a way out but He will definitely show or give us a way through.
Even though I still have a leak, even after getting one of the lines fixed, it's quite encouraging to really KNOW that I'm not the only one. That honestly doesn't make it that major any more. Again, this may seem small to some but God knew what I needed to see in order to see what He needed me to see. I encourage you to take your eyes off of your problem for a minute and ask God to simply "show you something".
Peace, Blessings, and Favor
