Life Questions
Recently I was sitting in a Sunday service and one question rolled into another. There are three questions I felt I needed to answer in my life in order to start to realize what I am doing and what I am supposed to be doing.
1) What is it that god has prepared me to do?
God has prepared me to be a man. An example to young men on how to be a friend, a husband, a son, a brother and one day a father. He has prepared me to be an example of how to express his love grace and acceptance. He is preparing me now to reach his people young and old with no barriers or restrictions. He is pouring into me so I may in turn pour out into his people. He has prepared me to guide not only myself but my family down a a road of purity, integrity and love. I thank god for the preparation he has done in my life
2) What am I waiting on? I used to think I was waiting on a release. I don’t know if it was a release from God or from a person but I used to think I couldn’t do any of these things with someone’s permission. I am starting to realize that God gave me that permission the day I got saved. He has continually saying come on and slowly I have moved towards him. He still continues to call to me to come. Soon I know as I make the decisions to grow closer and closer to him and dive more and more into his word it won’t be a calling to come but a calling to go. As soon as I set aside my fears, failures, laziness and attitudes I will finally realize the potential God has blessed me with and will be living a life of going instead of a life of catch-up. Tonight I am deciding to stop chasing after and I am going to start walking with so eventually he can completely say go.
3) What is it that I feel I need in order to do what it is god is calling me to do? There isn’t anything I need that god hasn’t provided. He has given me his word in order to work out this life I desire to live. He has placed me in a local church that brings biblical teachings that encourage, grow and stretch me. He has blessed me above and beyond with an amazing wife who will not allow me to be complacent with where I am and continually blessed me with her love, encouragement and prayers. He has surrounded me with friends and family that desire to see me grow and change. He has given me his spirit that brings authority and power in my life. Lastly he has given me salvation which has given me a Passion for his people and desire to connect them to the truth and the god who is everything. So there is nothing i need except to decide this is really what I desire more then anything else.
After answering these questions I started to realize a lot. I realized that these answers are still unfinished and just touching the surface of these questions. I also realized as I push forward and desire to walk with God these answers will change based on the here and now.
Try again
So I have setup a blog before and wasn’t to successful at keeping up with it. Today is my attempt at making it happen. I don’t know what I will blog about to be honest but I figure I will see if this works out. Can’t hurt to try……
