It just feels like I'm going backwards...
The words of a frustrated loved one... his current situation... leaves him with an option... he feels is backwards...
God reminded me of some words... from one of His own... CS Lewis...
I spent today hunting them down... in order to share...
We all want progress. But progress means getting nearer to the place where you want to be. And if you have taken a wrong turning, then to go forward does not get you any nearer. If you are on the wrong road, progress means doing an about-turn and walking back to the right road; and in that case the man who turns back soonest is the most progressive man. We have all seen this when doing arithmetic. When I have started a sum the wrong way, the sooner I admit this and go back and start again, the faster I shall get on.
---CS Lewis, Mere ChristianityPraying for this loved one to see that backwards... is not necessarily bad... as a matter of fact... it may be the only way... forward...
Show me your ways, Lord,
teach me your paths.
Guide me in your truth and teach me,
for you are God my Savior,
and my hope is in you all day long.
Psalm 25:4-5 ESV
