Once upon a time, God gave me all these emotions to deal with

I felt alone,
unloved
helpless
Oh, why did I come here on earth?
To suffer? To cry?
Why all the pain?

When I got older, I was no longer seeing my negative experiences as punishments. I heard God saying instead,  these are your lessons for you to learn at this time of your life.

I then realized I took the human form for a purpose. I came here to learn how to love.

Thank you, I said
I will get to them, God
I’m not going to slack
I’ll work on myself.
You gave me these assignments because I passed the other ones,
I understand more now, I won’t question you. I won’t complain about having to deal with what I’m going through now.
I will work on self-awareness and what I need to do to be more like you.

I can change and I can transform because you gave me the gift of choice.

From all the chaos, I can choose to create order
From the pain, I can choose to create healing
From the worthlessness, I can choose to feel deserving.
From the helplessness, I can choose to be powerful.
From anger, I can choose to practice compassion
From confusion, I can choose to trust.
From vengefulness, I can choose forgiveness.
