A message for the stubborn, those caught in a season of wandering

Do you ever dream of being back in school or college classrooms? What about dreams where you're retaking old exams? These could indicate that there are aspects of your life where you continue to repeat the same patterns, make the same errors, and feel trapped in recurring cycles, unable to progress. Are you interested in identifying what is holding you back and finding a way to break free?

In many dreams about tests, the dreamer might at times find himself back in school (whether it be grade school or college), which usually suggests that something important was not learned before, requiring a re-teaching. If you had recently such a dream, you can reflect on few helpful questions to delve into the matter: What did the dream reveal about you? Were you prepared for the test? Did you seek assistance if needed? Did you face the test with a positive mindset? Were you stressed or relaxed? Was the test easy or challenging?

Whether you dream or not, you may have noticed that certain aspects of your life or relationships feel stagnant. If this resonates with you, the following message is intended for you:

Leading a spiritual life is not about achieving perfection; it's about undergoing transformation. God loves you as you are at this moment, but He also loves you too much to leave you unchanged if you are longing to mature. The Holy Spirit might be using the dream or your dissatisfaction with life to show you your current stage in the maturation process and what is holding you back from progressing with a joyful heart.

When there is a desire to grow, a path to maturity becomes available. Once you decide to move away from the places in your heart that keep you stuck, prepare to gain insights into the internal obstacles (such as negative emotions, attitudes, and ungodly ways of thinking) that keep you in the same patterns. In prayer, you can ask for the Holy Spirit's help in preparing you for the upcoming challenge.

During the learning process, the Holy Spirit will guide you into situations where your responses lack maturity, offering you fresh opportunities to adopt new ways of thinking, attitudes, and behaviors. Are you open to embracing a learning journey instead of reacting in your usual manner? Are you ready to let go of a negative attitude and try something different?

“But they, our fathers, acted arrogantly; They became stubborn and would not listen to Your commandments. “They refused to listen, and did not remember Your wondrous deeds which You had performed among them; so they became stubborn and appointed a leader to return to their slavery in Egypt. But You are a God of forgiveness, gracious and compassionate, Slow to anger and abounding in lovingkindness; and You did not forsake them. “Even when they made for themselves a calf of molten metal and said, ‘This is your God who brought you up from Egypt,’ and committed great blasphemies…” - Nehemiah 9:16-18
