Upgrades

A few weeks after the Iphone 4 was being sold in stores, the Apple Company shortly released an upgrade for Iphone users that had not brought the Iphone 4. These upgrades fix various problems to the OS (Operating System). I was eagerly excited to get the new upgrades, since personally I was not able to buy a completely new Iphone. Nevertheless, I went home and installed the new OS to my Iphone; it did take me 3-4 hours though. After the installation was complete, I notice a small problem. All my contacts in my Iphone had been erased. These were a lot of contacts, which I had spent a lot of time collecting over the years. I immediately started trying to get as many of the contacts back that had been lost. I put messages on all the social networks, explaining my dilemma. Everyone was so helpful, and sent me all the contact information back to me. A few months later, Apple came out with another upgrade to the OS. I was a bit weary of the upgrade after my last time with the upgrade. In spite of how I was feeling, I went on and started installing the upgrade. After the upgrade was complete, everything seemed fine and my contacts seemed in place. It was not until a few weeks after that upgrade that I went to call some people and could not find there number. Once again I was upset at my contacts being lost; I was so upset that I did not even feel like trying to get the contacts back. Time went on, and some contacts came back others did not, but through all the upgrade issues I had; I think God was trying to teach me a lesson in the midst. I believe God wanted me to know that when I am upgraded by him, there are certain thing and people that will be removed for fear they may hinder God’s Operating System in my life. I believe when God decides to elevate you to another level (or upgrade you), you cannot be afraid of leaving some people behind. Notice that when Jesus was getting closer to His destiny, that even the 9 of the 12 disciples had to be left behind. This next upgrade that God is getting ready to do in your life, will require some people being removed from your normal Operating System in order to let God’s Operating System have His way. When this happens, please don’t do like I did and attempt to reconnect to people who still think and operate on a lesser Operating System than the one God has upgraded you to.
