In my life I have been in so many situations where I knew what was expected of me, I knew how I was to act, and I knew right from wrong. I can tell you now, apologetically, I made the wrong decisions more times than I didn’t. When I was supposed to act a certain way I would choose the wrong option and then get angry over the consequences. I would act like a fool and then be offended because I was treated as such.
As I got older I spent less time making the wrong decision and more time avoiding the call at all costs. If I was put in a situation where I felt like I should do something I would just shut down. There have been so many times in my adult life that I knew the situation I was in was not ideal and I knew I needed to make a change for my mental health and the happiness for those around me, and I just refused to make the change.
How many times have you been in a situation where you knew the right decision and made the wrong one anyway? How many toxic situations have you been in because you didn’t want to make a decision at all? How many times have you failed to follow through because it seemed too hard? For me the answer is a lot.
We all have a purpose in this life. We are placed on this earth with a calling if you will. What we miss is the fact that we can’t follow our calling if we refuse to even answer the door. God knows his plan for your life, he has seen your last day before he breathed life into you. God also gives us freewill in hopes that we follow him.
If we try to fill our lives with the things of this world we will be left empty, we will be left wanting, we will have a burning desire that will never be fulfilled. We have to understand that some things, no matter how right they feel at the time, are not leading you where you need to be. They have been put in front of you as everything you ever wanted, but are actually stumbling blocks to keep you from living a life of joy and living out God’s plan.
We need to search deep in our hearts and decide what is standing between you and purpose, joy, happiness, and God’s love. When we remove these distractions, when we focus on our calling, on our purpose we will be able to get closer to God. When we get closer to God we will be able to put feet on his word and show the world the unconditional love that only God can provide.
I love you.
