I hung up the phone with one word still ringing in my ear. Transition. In conversation with a relative, she stated that she was going through a major transition and needed to put a halt to quite a few things that were making her life busy. In fact, she dare not add anything else to it while in the swirl of such a trial of the transition she was experiencing. I sat still at the computer with my cell phone in hand. In minutes, three words came to mind, transition, transformation and translation. I immediately sought the definition of each word and engaged in the following thoughts…..
So often with the Lord, when we go through a transition (a moment passage or change from one position, stage, subject), a transformation (change in nature, or character) takes place. From that change in nature or character, a way is made for the translation (to refer to the rewording of something) of it all.
Perhaps these thoughts are somewhat “transmental”? (They were to me.) By MY definition of this word of my design is that “transmental” means a “moment of passage though the mind” or “over the top of one’s head”.
Think about these words: transition, transformation and translation. Have you found yourself in some type of transition, a moment passage or change from one position, stage or subject? If so, you can be assured that YOUR nature or character will be affected. This change in YOUR nature or character is YOUR transformation. It can be a good thing.
From that transition and transformation, a translation (to refer to the rewording of something) follows. In the translation of your experience or the rewording of it, you can make a tremendous difference. Negative words can be changed to positive words. Your words changed to HIS WORDS!
Common to all of us are many of life’s “trans” (to pass, on the other side, to the other side, so as to change thoroughly) experiences. Hold on to the hand of God and be assured that in the transition, transformation and translation of life experiences, God is with you. He knows where you are. You are not forgotten. He will see you through. He loves you. Trust Him. Hold on to Him!
“But I trust in You O Lord; I say, “You are my God.” Psalm 31:14
“So I will be with you, I will never leave you or forsake you.” Joshua 1:5
In closing, here are a few lines from the chorus of a new song entitled, “Hold On” by Abandon.
Hold on. Hold on.
Someone will find you.
Hold on. Hold on.
Somebody loves you.
