I don't want to be someone who just lives there life comfortably. God has not called us to live comfortable lives....he has called us to live for him! Living for him can be uncomfortable and hard sometimes. But that is the life I want. I don't want to get so involved in everyday life that I am too busy for what God is calling me to do. Someone once said "God did NOT call us to be busy, He called us to be fruitful." How true is that?!? Just because you are "busy" doesn't mean that you are being fruitful....lets move out of our comfortable lives and be courageous for God. Lets step out right where we are and make a difference in our own communities! I've learned if God doesn't want you doing something or does want you doing something he will make that so clear to you! But you have to do your part and spend time with him and build a close relationship with him! So you can clearly hear his voice and do the things he has for you!
I was listening to a television program recently and it really hit home for me. I am single and I have never had a boyfriend. I am always questioning "God what is wrong with me?', "Father why doesn't any guy want me?". But I realized that until I am whole,confident in who I am and at where God wants me in my single life He can't allow me to be in a relationship! I am not ready for a relationship, I have so much I need to learn, experience and grow with my relationship with God before I can ever have a functional relationship with the guy the Lord has for me. It's time to start considering this season of singleness as a blessing and embrace it! On the program one someone said "Run your race full force towards God, then when you look over see who's running next to you"! The right person God has for you will be running the same path as you. But sometimes it takes you or them a little longer to get on the same path. But God will get both of you on the same path in time, (HIS timing)! SO singleness is blessing from God, so I encourage you to live it to the fullest! I know I am going too, because it's only a season! :-)
So that is just what has been on my heart! God is teaching me new things everyday. What an amazing and loving God we have!
Thank you for taking the time to read this!

Sounds like a good attitude! I can tell you that I got to the point after a very bad break-up that I just didn't want to date anymore. I told God that if He was all I had in my life then He was enough... I told Him I was content with Him for the rest of my life. Two months later I met the man of my dreams... fast forward 21 years later... we are still happily married and God just keeps growing us together in incredible ways. Hang in there! Blessings, Carin
ReplyDeleteThat is awesome! I just read this and two months after writing this blog I met my husband! We have only been married a couple of weeks. But I thought it was wild how you wrote that and the same thing happened to me!!! God Bless!
