“God’s Will For You”

My Friends,

Do we live each day anticipating what God has in store for us? Are we living a life that is fully open to whatever direction our Lord sends us? God only knows the direction He wants most for us. Yes, we have the free will to ignore Him, and pay no attention to His will for us, when we know and feel the direction He is sending and nudging us. I always wondered why anyone would want to live their own will, for such a short period of time, instead of God's will for all eternity. God's will is perfect for us, we might not always understand it or agree fully with it; but through prayer and with the help of the Holy Spirit, He will show us how we can best serve Him and share Him.

This life is for but a moment of time, in the whole spectrum of time and eternity. But it is in this very tiny little bit of time, that we will set the direction all eternity will be for each of us. We will all live forever, we have been given the gift of eternal life when Jesus died for us on the cross and defeated death for us. He defeated death for us, but now we must choose the direction our eternity will be. Eternity with Him in Heaven is what Jesus wants for us, He must become for us the single greatest desire we have in our lives. Because in the end, on our death beds, all that will matter will be the "relationships" we have; and in those relationships, the one we have with Jesus is the most important.

There's no way of knowing how long we will live, but we all know how long we will be dead. Psst, answer -(eternity). That alone is so powerful to know and that alone sparks tremendous joy into my heart. This excites my soul so much. Think about this in simple terms, like I do. I like numbers a lot, no that don't make me weird. LOL. But if we look at it this way, how long does the average healthy person usually live till? 70-80-90 years. In the 2002 US statistics, the average American lived till they were 77 years old. Let's be fair, let's say 90. My grandfather lived till he was 92, so for some that's a real number. And how long is eternity? A bazillion, killion trillion, mandilion, dillion years, times a bazillion, times a bazillion, etc... you get the idea. LOL! I made up some of those words. So which side of the "or" do you want to have the most joy on? 90 or 1,000,000,000,000,000,000... Eternity

For many that is a no brainer, but for others; 90 years of selfish, ungodly temporal living is what many believe is so good. I don't know if they are blind, unconscious, ignorant, unaware or they just straight out have no clue what they are trading off. There is so much more joy to the anticipation of God's will for us. So much joy !!!! He has only the best interest in our lives for us; and in His plan for us, we will end up with Him in Heaven for all eternity. I beg everyone to seriously make Jesus your single most important focus in your life. Allow Him to consume your heart and soul, your thoughts, your inner joy. No one in this life can ever be like Him. Trust in Him with all your heart.
