Why is it that just about every person I talk to, says they want to be or are “drama free”? What exactly does that mean? Look, I’m a Christian and I know that God won’t put anything in my LIFE that I cannot get through, but to say that there’s no “drama” in my LIFE is to say that every time something comes up that is a struggle for me, I would run from it. That’s what I call a COWARD. I thank God every day I am NOT “drama free”, because it reminds me that I am still alive. People who run from “drama” are not living LIFE, they’re running away from LIFE. LIFE is full of drama, every day, there’s something new that comes up. Are you telling me that when you face a struggle, instead of standing up and getting through it you run from it? That’s pathetic. That’s immature. That’s childish . . . I could go on, but I won’t, I hope you get the point. The Bible teaches that Satan doesn’t attack people he’s already got control over, so maybe that’s why you’re “drama free”, because Satan already has you so deceived and blind that he’s already controlling you. LIFE is NOT about living “drama free”, LIFE is about recognizing that there IS “drama” in my life and I know who I am in God and I am able to get through the “drama”. God doesn’t say he will take us OUT of the FIRE, but that he would take us THROUGH the FIRE. So, if you want to live “drama free” that’s fine, but you’re not really living, you’re just getting by. Cowards run from “drama”, but a REAL MAN (or WOMAN) runs forward until they get through the “drama”, because they know that the reward of finishing the race outweighs any benefit of running away.
Thou hast caused men to ride over our heads; we went through fire and through water: but thou broughtest us out into a wealthy place.
(Psalm 66:12)
When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee.
(Isaiah 43:2)
Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses.
(1 Timothy 6:12)
I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith:
Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing.
(II Timothy 4:7-8)
