Slowly but surely!

A few post ago....I quoted from a book called "In a pit with a lion on a snowy day". I want to extract one of those quotes and talk about it a little bit. The quote is this: "God wants you to get where God wants you to go more than you want to get where God wants you to go."
I think this is a huge and freeing statement for a lot of us. I am running into more and more people that want more in there Christian journey, but the thought of not knowing where God is calling them or wanting them to do freaks them out. For some it is a comfortability issue, for some its "God has said anything for a long time", and others say, "is this it?" Please realize, PLEASE! that God has not only a plan and purpose for you, but His desire to get you there is far greater than your own desire or willingness. He doesn't leave you hanging, but instead He is preparing. He is preparing You, the plan, and the purpose. He wants you there more than you do because you will find the ability to glorify Him the most with your heart, soul, mind, and strength. YES! The trials before and during the journey of getting there and living with in this plan may seem difficult and overbearing at times, BUT! He is going to get you to where He wants you to be. Are you getting this? If you really understand this in your life and in your heart, then your trials and situations start to become insignificantly small! Why? Because you realize not only that He is bigger, but He wants you to be apart of and carry out His plan for your life. He will be there when we are not. He will be strength when we are weak. He is not only watching, He is desiring. He is with You! He is IN YOU! So, where are you? Has God giving you a vision or plan that you haven't stepped out on yet? Maybe the comfortability factor may be a little scary or tough. Maybe you look at it and say, "there is no way I can do that because of the situation". I beg to differ. If He is calling you and laid out His plan (maybe not all of it, but just enough for you to act on it), then He will get you there. You just have to place your confidence in the fact that He wants you there more than you do and that He will lay out the path and provision. To all those conversations I have recently had.., Thanks!
Much love,
Cham
