Running Away can be a medicine or a poison depending on your view of God…If you are thinking about running away for any of the above reasons- unpack your bag and tell your self you are a very young person and have a lot to learn.
Bad Reasons to Run Away Learned the Hard Way
by: Cheri M. Anderson
1. Because you are tired of difficult situations
2. Because you do not want God to change your plans
3. Because your friends are rubbing you the wrong way OR You think you are hurting your friends.
4. Because you want to feel balanced again
5. Because you are in debt (and debt does not have to be money).
6. Because you have lost the ability to come up with good ideas in work or play
7. Because you cannot prove by prior experience what the world offers is not good
8. Just…Because. This one is the most dangerous, because every form of entertainment: Music, Movies, Books, and High School Hormones all tell us that this is “Adventure” or “Life!”
Let me ask you: what is more exciting: standing in a puddle or standing in the sand and letting the ocean waves hit you full on? Running away for this reason is the World’s shallow imitation of the adventurous life God has for you.
