… at the tightest spot, the seam always give sooner or later. As long as we are growing and the garment is static, the once loose garment will become fitted before becoming tight, too tight and painful and them boom, the burst or the tear as the seams that holds it together gives way.
As long as we are growing, when we reach the stage of conflict, it is the garment that gives way, we can’t shrink or retard to accommodate the garment, it must give, it must surrender. We started life fitting well into the garment because we were small and young and all seem well, the seams seem strong and able to accommodate our size, to be honest no one even looked at the seams, we weren’t anywhere near it, there was nothing to worry about. And some never grow, they remain small and young and the garment forever fitted. But those that choose to grow will notice the stretching of the seams before it eventually gives. This is the stage when thinks don’t make sense any more, it no longer addd up, we no longer want to pretend, the previous answers or explanations no longer suffice, this is just happening in one area or spot to start with. It is too tight, we have grown and it is causing too much pain. Yes, we have had calories and we can see the result in our bodies, we have seek the truth and it has started coming in to us, our minds are being renewed, we have broken the darkened glass and the light is beginning to shine through, we have stuck our heads out of the window and we are seeing views we did not know existed, we are also beginning to see that the sight is limitless.
We tried to patch up the one place where the seem gave, then it gave in another place, and another place and yet anothet place. Wr patched and patched and patched, untill it became very clear that we were too big for the garment or the garment was too small.
But what do we do as this is the school uniform and all the students must wear the same, also we have the largest size available. We have outgrown the uniform and the school does not provide our size. It seems it might be time to leave the school. What a sad day, we never thoughts we will leave school, but the uniform no longer fits! The seams has given all over and the garment is no longer wearable.
Growth is inevitable when we consume calories so is truth inevitable when we seek sincerely and earnestly. Sooner or later we outgrow the garment and the seams give.
We have to leave all our friends behind in the school uniform and this is the hardest part of growth, the parting, it is the price we have to pay to be next level, to play at next level.
Whenever the seams give, we have to move out and move on, no point in lurking around the school perimeter.
