I’ve had moments where I thought I knew what I wanted and what the future held only to have to break in front of me. I’ve had God hit me upside the head when I wouldn’t listen, either I didn’t hear it or didn’t want to hear it. Sometimes I wonder if He sits up there and thinks, “Why won’t they just listen?”, “Why do I have to hit them upside the head?”, “that was stupid!”, or “come on dummy.” - Of course I know He doesn’t think those things. He created us and if he thought those things about us I’m sure He would have just destroyed us long ago.
Thankfully He loves us and gives us help along the way through this difficult and confusing life. Sometimes we don’t take it and other times He wants us to ask for it. God will lovingly show us the path before us, it may be in small doses throughout a large amount of time, but He does reveal His plan to us.
Instead of telling us how dumb we are, He tells us, “My dear son/daughter, I know life is hard. Lean on ME, I’m here to help you though it all. You just have to trust me. I love you and only want the best for your life. There’s no need to worry about it. Follow the path I place in front of you and you’ll make it through. It won’t be easy, but with MY help it will be more bearable.”
I’m looking forward to all He has to teach me, show me, and revile to me next year. I know it won’t be all fun there will be hard times, heartache, tough times, but there will also be lessons learned, fun had, love given and received.
Allow God to lead you through 2009 – follow His will and discover your purpose. You won’t discover it in overnight, and you may not discover it next year, but you will discover more and more of it until the day it is completely revealed to you.
Start by finding your purpose of the day, everyday.
