Shame, fear, and bitterness are some of the most profound
emotional jails that people nowadays have to cope with some silent chains that
cannot allow growth, ruin confidence, and make people feel unworthy of the love
of God. Visiting it is Not a Coincidence! in her new powerful memoir. The
hardships in your life are not going to change what God has planned to do with
you, author Macdella Acolatse faces these emotional struggles with naked
brutality and spiritual illumination. Her narrative is not just a survival
story, but a blueprint to anyone who desires to overcome the cage of emotions
and find the meaning of life again, through the healing power of God.
Macdella offers readers into her life in the book of
heartbreak, rejection, financial disaster, homelessness, and betrayal by people
who she thought she could rely on. These experiences made her have emotive
confines which formed her perception about herself and how she thought God
perceived her. Humiliation made her feel vulnerable and condemned, terror kept
her choices and anger fixed her heart. But all efforts proved that God was
setting her on the way of a change. She is conveying her message: she is not in
spiritual defeat although she is in emotional prison.
One of the most devastating prisons according to the
description in the book is the shame. Macdella has likened it to being in a
place full of people and being stripped off dignity and all watching. She felt
shamed when her life started to unravel in front of the whole world, when her
suffering was ridiculed by others, and when she felt as a loser in all spheres
of her life. She is not concealing these moments as she reveals them to make
the readers realize that shame only flourishes when it is a secret. She was
taught by prayer and spiritual revival that God does not identify anyone by his
worst point. Instead, He employs fragmentation to recover identity and develop
a firmer base.
Another emotional jail that Macdella fought against all her
way is fear. Fear caused her to lose trust in her mission, inquisitiveness
about the timing of God and made her feel unworthy to expect better times. She
discloses the fact that fear is usually a result of trauma, past traumas, and
the vagaries of the future. However, in the book, the readers are able to see
how the presence of God eradicates the element of fear, not by taking away the
problems, but by empowering the heart to withstand them.
The struggle with bitterness may be defined as one of the
strongest themes in It's Not a Coincidence! According to Macdella, Bitterness
does not simply influence moods, it alters identity. It had started growing in
her, when people, who were trusted, betrayed her, mocked at her situation or
were indifferent to her misery. Bitterness made her seal her heart, cease to
trust anybody and isolate herself before God. However, her spiritual
enlightenment made her see that bitterness is a poison that kills the person
who carries it, but not the person who brings it.
The objective of this book is to draw the attention of the
readers on how the memoir by Macdella will provide them with a practical and
spiritual guide on the ways to come out of these emotional prisons. She
demonstrates that freedom begins with accepting the wounds that have formed
your way of thinking and letting God heal them both on the inside and outside
through clear narrative telling, biblical reflection and encouragement that is
heartfelt. Each chapter acts as a reminder that their pain is not in vain and
their struggle is not an accident; it is a course of God to help them become
better, wiser, more closely connected to God, etc.
This book is no ordinary memoir, it is a healing,
empowering, and restoring movement. Readers overcome with shame, fear, or
bitterness will also find hope in what Macdella writes and that God is working
behind the scenes, even when life is unbearable. The book gives a very strong
reminder that one can have emotional freedom and with God, nothing can remain
the same.
