A friend of mine, Heather Basl of Grace Angels, recently shared some words via email. If this notion moves you, you can see more of her stuff at graceangels.com.
I just think this is a great metaphor:
My friend came over and visited me a few weeks ago and she talked about her baby boy that was delivered by a c-section and that when they pulled him out he had to go to intensive care because he couldn’t breathe in the air here. Because he didn’t go through the birth canal the natural process, which would of pushed all the fluid out of his lungs, working his muscles to make them strong, he could not take in any air yet. He almost died because of this and what we think was helping speed up a process for someone was really slowing it down for someone. Everyone has to go through the aches and pains, we have to go into the darkness so that we are prepared to enter into the new world that awaits us here. If we think we can jump and skip over the hard parts we will not be able to have the capacity to breathe in heaven. We think that someone is suppose to do it for us… well they can assist us, but we must walk it.
Thanks Heather.
