The Pain of Promise

I have recently stumbled upon the pain of my promises.
I think most followers of Christ forget to embrace the pain we all face in life, pushing it away like we are allergic. When instead we should embrace it to move forward.
I think it is reasonable to say that when I receive a promise from Yahweh I find hope and relief in his words and reassurances. I also find the peace to submit myself to the process of the promise.

Just like Jesus did.

In the beginning, before Creation, Yahweh, Yeshua, and Ruach had a meeting. They considered together the rise and fall of mankind and their intimacy with the Trinity. All three agreed to the Promise of the Son, Yeshua, as the redeemer for mankind before we even existed.

The time came for the Promise to be revealed and the pain of the process was astounding. Yeshua asked for it to pass from him for the intensity.

When we accept promises of the Father over our lives and submit to his process, we have submitted to an all consuming fire the will devour that which cannot pass into our promises with us.

This is the pain. To lose the things we thought we needed, even wanted, for our futures.

Yahweh is ever committed to the success of us reaching our destinies. And when we submit to him the pain of our promise is exposed in such rich detail as we began to let go f the things we even thought Yahweh was supportive of. Not that he wasn't. Not that he didn't place those things in our hearts.

He must remove our understanding of our dreams to help us fill the full potential of his dreams for us.

This is the pain of the promise. To watch every dream he has placed in our hearts turn to ashes in our hands.
Because after the ash slowly disappears through our fingers and we walk away from those dreams, a dream far bigger, far greater, far more fantastic springs up from it's place.
If we do not die to these dreams we hold in our hearts we will not fully realize the greatness of our destiny.
To the pain of the promise, letting go of my own idea's to make room Yahweh's greater plan for me.
