When we are at different stages of our life, we have many different expectations that we wish to uphold. As a child, life was much more simple than it is now as an adult in college. My main concern as a little girl was what I would wear to school, what types of meals I would eat, and which toy to play with. But as I have grown so have my choices. For instance, now that I'm in college I must decide where I'm going to live, which classes I need to take each semester, how I'm going to pay for it and much more. The choices are overwhelming. However, despite each stage of my life and the choices I must choose from, there is one thing that has been consistent throughout my life and that is God. As a child He was there guiding me, just like He is now. Showing me the way, helping me find where I belong and leading me towards the plan that He has planned for me.
What's cool is that He is doing the same for you. He has been there for every stage of your life. Even when you didn't have a personal relationship with Him.
The thing is, God loves us and He wants the best for us. Just like parents want the best for their children. God has a plan and a purpose for our lives. He knows what's ahead while we do not, and He helps guide us through every rainbow and storm that we encounter in life. Something that has been on my mind the past few days is that many times when we have the choice of following God's plan for us we often choose our own idea of a life plan. We don't give God the opportunity to work in our lives because we allow the world to let us think that God's plan is no plan. God's plan for our lives is much more beneficial for us than our own. God knows what's ahead of us, while we do not because we are blind to the future. I'm speaking from experience that God's plan overpowers any plan that we might have in mind for ourselves.
It's time that we stop living lukewarm for Jesus, and we get fired up. Instead of keeping Jesus locked away in a box for your own convenience, give Him the opportunity to work in your life every single day. Because He will make a difference!
