Wait
Desperately, helplessly, longingly, I cried: Quietly, patiently, lovingly God replied. I plead and I wept for a clue to my fate, And the Master so gently said, “Child, you must wait.”
“Wait? You say, wait!” my indignant reply. “Lord, I need answers, I need to know why! Is your hand shortened? Or have you not heard?

Maslow believed that our most basic needs must be taken care of before we have the capacity, attention and time for self-actualization, “the desire to become more and more what one is, to become everything that one is capable of becoming.”
What Is Spiritual Bypassing
Ouch, it really hurts, wails a child accompanied by traumatized screaming and tears. In an effort to seek help and escape the claws of excruciating pain, humans will do most anything.
Since our earliest and formative years humans have sought every and any venue to avoid pain. It is a survival mechanism and primal dictate in the preservation of the human species. The latest venue on the menu of avoidance is spiritual bypassing.
Discovering The Catalyst That Propels Us Into Change
Can we change? Can we be all that we want to be? Is the metaphor of the caterpillar to butterfly one of nature’s lessons that mirror the possibility of human kind’s journey?
If you ask a recovered addict from alcohol, gambling, shopping, drugs, gossip, gluttony, entropy, smoking, etc., if change in human behavior and perspective is possible; they will probably say, ‘of course you can change, I did.’
