Whatever plan God has for my life, I will honor it and accept it. We as Christians are all blessed with the gift of His grace on our lives and the promise of eternal life but here on earth we are not all promised a cake walk. I believe the Lord honors His children who bring their tithes and love offerings to His throne but I don't believe we are all going to be rich from it. The Lord blesses in many ways and bestows His favor in more ways than just financial. Have you ever given the thought to how healthy you have been? Your family? Your children? Health is something we all take for granted and yet it is one of God's greatest blessings on our life...to be blessed with a healthy life. When we sow good seeds, they plant and take root and they create a harvest of "good fruit". So when you minister to another, lead the lost to Him, feed the hungry, assist the poor, treat others as God treats you, you are sowing good solid seed and it will manifest in your life. The plan for you may not be the same for your best friend, sibling or even neighbor. I never dreamed I would not be a mother because it was something I wanted from the time I was 25 years old yet I felt I would be led by God to allow it or not, naturally. I did not take a test or use medical intervention during those times and I never bore a child. Some call me foolish, others say it is my own fault for never checking things out medically. I simply smile for I have total peace for I let God decide and having children was not part of His plan for my life. I honored it and I accepted it. He wants you to do the same. I try to tell young women all the time that although the Lord created the institution of marriage, the bible does not say we will all fall in love and be married. Although He desires it for His children. We must accept the life He planned for us. Whatever He created us to be, it will be in His image for us therefore it cannot be wrong. Simply live in His will and obey His word and listen for His voice and your life will not frustrate you. God did not have us live on this earth to be miserable. So be joyful in all things, go with the flow of the Spirit and let go of the control. And when you have a day of sadness or fear, remember the promise He made to you in Jeremiah 29:11 and I know you will be rejuvenated and restored. So for now, enjoy this day. Walk through today with a grateful and repented heart and be glad for all things.
Romans 15:13
Zephaniah 3:17
