The lemons I am referring to may be weaknesses of character due to of lack of self-discipline or a physical limitation that was present at birth or an occurrence in their life. There may have been an accident that could have caused a disability or a mental change in the brain capabilities to perform a task.Some humans may have been given a misdiagnosis of a chemical imbalance or label by medical doctors or physiatric practitioners. These are the lemons that sour our identity if we allow them to be the negatives instead of the positive attributes of who we are in Christ.Taking a negative and turning it into a positive by making it into lemonade means to use whatever it is you thought was holding you back as a limitation can be your best part of instead of the worse part of your life.
I was talking with a blind woman last night and she told me her story to fight to be normal because she was born blind. Her whole life she tried to overcome her blindness and prove to the world she wasn't blind. She sounded like she was resentful and bitter about her own condition of her birth and the blindness became an excuse to not do anything before she fought her own self to be normal.She told me she when to college and passed all the test and got a master degree in phycology.She wanted her voice to be heard so she took her test to be on radio and got a radio license but couldn't get a job in radio because she couldn't ask for help to get to any interviews for jobs in radio.Everything she did was to increase her ego and not her self-worth just as she was inside a talented gifted intuitive person with an imagination that was her real self.She wrote books about romance and didn't know how to proofread them to get them published because she didn't have the money and she couldn't do it because she was blind.I ask her why she didn't go to the government organization for the blind.She said she called but no-one would help her. She told me she loved to sing and did join groups and the group had stopped performing this Christmas. The whole conversation was from her heart to mine and I kept hearing her desire to sing and the " I can't do anything because I am blind" was mention throughout her explanation of why she do anything. I told her she had done many things even though she didn't have any self-worth because she did things for proof she was normal and not blind.I thought about this as I talk to God at bedtime and the message was put her youtube and let her sing.So my next conversation I will tell her the good news she is going sing to everyone all over the world.
In my own life, I was told about my brain chemistry was imbalanced and had to suffer many years with a wrong diagnose of bi-polar disorder.After years of accepting and trying to be normal, I went to doctor who told me "when you have lemons make lemonade" and this one phrase change my perception about my own life course. I wasn't normal whatever that means I was gifted with a very strong intuition and insights into other humans brain activities when I was talking to them in person or on the radio.I was an empath and had feelings that others could not understand. I accept my condition and became very worthy of own self-identity of who I was made by God to be. I have many tags and labels put on me from the world and accepted all of then gratefully. I didn't think I had to prove anything to anybody just knowing I was who I was supposed to be was enough for me.My limitation were my strengths and my weakness helped me to create my identity as a child of God.
