Master Reset
By Evangelist J. Lynette David
Iwas having all this trouble with my cell phone. I kept missing calls. Text messages were extra slow or not coming through at all. Others stated that they had tried to reach me on my cell with no success. Some of these were very important calls. On top of all those annoying issues, my cell phone would not keep a charge, even after being plugged in for hours. My cell phone simply would not work properly. You can just imagine or perhaps even understand how I was beginning to feel very frustrated with the whole cell phone situation.
So finally, after turning my phone off and on a few times, I decided to call the cell phone provider and report all the problems After completing a series of very specific unsuccessful steps directed by my cell phone provider, the cell phone customer service provider informed me that I needed to take my cell phone to be checked out. Off to the cell phone store I went. At the store, one of the cell phone technicians took my phone to their back area for about 5 minutes only to return with a very somber look on his face. I did not know what he was going to say about my cell phone but really needed my phone fixed. He began to explain to me that if I wanted my cell phone to work properly, I would have to have a “master reset” done. This sounded very simple to me, so I said “okay, let’s do it” with a big smile on my face. The technician then informed me that as a part of the master reset, hundreds of old text messages which were causing the internal hardware to not work as designed would be erased never to be read again. The master reset would also delete and get rid of all the extra apps and non-manufactured emojis that I had downloaded onto my phone. He could likely tell by the look on my face that I was disappointed to hear the details of what needed to happen. However, how I was feeling had nothing to do with what needed to happen if I wanted my phone fixed. Guess what? I had to go ahead and do a master reset. And just like that, the phone worked perfectly well. Not to worry. There is good news! Just as I was able to get technical support with my cell phone and have a master reset performed God wants us to experience a “Master Reset.” He wants us to reach goal completion. He wants us to prosper and to be in good health. Thank God that we can literally begin right where we are now and move forward.
