About goal

" My goal is God Himself, not joy, nor peace,
Nor even blessing, but Himself, my God:
'Tis His to lead me there, not mine, but His---
"At any cost, dear Lord, by any road."

-- Frances Brook (born 1870), English hymnwriter.

This is how we overcome

"For those of us who know God, pain is a process with a certain purpose. We don't make it through tough times. We are made through tough times -- made into the beauty of Christ Jesus." - Joe Stowell (Anchors in the Storm).

Words in due season

In the midst of my struggle, I come across this wonderful truth:

"Do not try to get some kind of a 'plan' from God for your life, so you can start working on it! If you work on your plan, you will very likely spoil it! Or God may spoil it for you! You need only to know that God has a plan for your life, get to know His voice, do His will today and every day, and commit yourself into the hands of a loving God, and a very capable Predestinator. As you walk in God's will, you cannot miss God's intention for your life. And as you present yourself to Him a 'living sacrifice' -- you will learn to walk in His ways, and come to know His voice more clearly (see Rom 12:1,2)." - George H. Warnock.

Thank You Jesus, for reminding me. Help me to abandon all of me to You, fully trust in Your wonderful grace and faithfulness. In Your mighty name I pray, Amen.

Voilà

“Whenever there is a problem hearing from the Lord it is because we are holding on to other things that are more dear to us than the Lord.” - Margaret E. Barber.

But the Lord’s "call" is never to geography or to a ministry, but "to be with Him," and to be sent out wherever and however He chooses–His agenda, not ours. ~ Ruth E.Siemens, tentmaker & Founder of Global Opportunities.
