Sometimes, you do not need Fixing, but you just need to Learn how to Accept things

When things around you start to change and happen in ways you cannot understand, you will tend to think that you need to keep up with its pace. You feel like you have to run to be on the same track as others, and when you can’t, you will start feeling hopeless and broken. You might think that you need fixing because you are alone. You believe that being alone means something might be wrong with you because everything is going on beyond your control and comprehension. Fear starts to creep in, and you feel like sailing on your own, far from everyone else around you. It seems like tiny pieces of you start to fall off and lose control. Yet, remember that being different may separate you from others, but it never means you are broken. Sometimes, you just need to give yourself the chance to grow and be more independent from other people’s expectations. 

You are different. You are not meant to blend in. Because you are called for a purpose. That purpose may be something that is bothering you right now. But trust the process, for God is leading you. Sometimes, you just need to accept things and know that you cannot control how life happens. Yet, there is always beauty in it. Growth happens when you learn how to accept things. Your current situation may be different from how you planned it, but maybe it has its reasons. It could be God’s way of leading you back to His plans. 

You might not need fixing. You just have a lot of things to work on with yourself. Things still need to happen before God reveals more extraordinary treasures. You might need to learn to nurture small matters to handle greater ones. You might need to work on your character before getting involved in something else.

On the other hand, your season of feeling broken and lost might also turn out to be a season of acceptance and growth. Maybe God wants you to realize that your flaws and imperfections are not things to get rid of but something you need to understand and accept as part of you. Only then, will you find that you are not that broken or lost, but you just need to love yourself more. 

Acceptance is different for each person. Most of the time, it is a complicated process. There will be times when you will have to face the fear that you have been longing to get rid of. But remember that you are not alone in that process. God leads you there and will always be with you. He will guide you and will teach you how to handle things. He will pour out His love and knowledge. So you need to take it with courage. Remember that life happens just as it is meant to. And you are meant for more extraordinary things. It may not happen right now, but know that something within you is changing. You are evolving to be a better version of yourself. Acceptance is loving yourself more. You are not broken; you just feel different, but it doesn’t mean you need fixing. God is just teaching you how to understand yourself better.
