Have you ever woundered why something that you are doing for God is not working out?
For instance you might be putting your heart into preaching but it just seems that God is not helping you out?.. like your all on your own.. Why?..
There is this book im reading (thank you soo much Nadia, i love it!) its called So Much More.. (everyone should read it if they are looking up on living for God daily not just on sundays at church when you get that feeling like "Man i would love to do that and this and BLA BLA BLA, but the next day.. too bad your down at where you left of at- on saturday night. anyways..) There is this character in the book named Erica, before she had the opening from God she thought she was doing the right thing, praising God and telling the world about Him just like He willed everyone to do so. At age 19 she jumped into a fulltime ministry, thats hard to leave home and be somewhere else and telling people about God so they can actually see Him through you. But it ends up that God actually didnt want her there, He had something else planned for her.
Putting my self in her position i think everyone went through that. It might not be ministry but something else that you always wanted to do, or you always understand thats where you belong, but its not like that God has something unusually different for everyone. For instance you are living your life for God and your doing something that Erica thought that it is right, but then you see that your not getting blessed by God and its tooo hard to handle. You start asking God why and He pulls you out and puts you just in the position you belong at.
Every Gods Journey doesnt come easy, it never starts and ends easy,.. but while doing the Mission that the Lord gives you to do you have so much pleasure and fun in doing it that you forget the hard times.
-Let God bless you on the journey that he has found you to be at, and let the Lord help you find it..

Awesome thoughts!! I'm glad you love the book! I am hoping you can come to womens youth prayer nights to share your thoughts. Blessings!!
ReplyDeleteThanx for sharing hun...i am excited to start reading the book..( i will start...2morrow hopefully)...but totaly true how God's ways are such a blessing, and they are truly what we need...we only need to let go of our own paths wich seem correct to us in our own eyes...I need to learn how to do that more. And please forgive me for picking at you lately..dont mean to at all! love you!
ReplyDeletewow opened up my eyes to an entire differnt point of view! i believe with my entire heart God has called me to the mission field and i am just ripping to go there...in fact i wanted to go there straight out of high school but God was closing doors to me..the biggest one being my parents .. and i figured maybe God just doesnt want me there yet, maybe its not time for me to take that step yet but i have been rebelling against that thought for so long because all of the stroies i have been reading there wasn't one like mine but always the opposite. but hearing this..maybe just maybe God is putting me through this path =) thanks for sharing..
