Being obedient

[Deluxe]

When I was little I used to hear everyone talk about how it was so hard to lived saved, and I remember thinking that living saved is not hard, just don't do bad stuff.

Now I realized that it is not only about not doing bad stuff but doing the things God has ordained you to do, like being obedient to your calling.

I am having trouble doing the things God wants me to do. First I asked God to show me want I am supposed to be doing. I did not think he was showing me but he was. Then I began to ask God why did he give me the personality that he has given me because I do not like it.

I then looked at the people and situation I kept becoming involved with, my suspected calling, and my personality. After this circumspection it became even more clear what I am supposed to be doing right now, and I don't like it . What nerve, right.

I keep trying to reason with God, but he's not hearing. So I want to ask you all to lift up a quick prayer about my attitude and obedience towards my calling/purpose. I want to have a joyful and willing heart to do the things God has for me to do. Thank you.

Sis,

I'm right there with you. I will keep you in prayer and you do the same for me.

Surprise I can tell that you are a caring and compassionate person. So am I. Sometimes I wonder why I was given my personality because I feel taken for granted or unappreciated. I always try to do the right then but get kicked in the butt for making the right choices. I have learned to trust more in God in that area of my life and not worry about what people say. I feel like I just don't click with the rest of the world and sometimes feel lonely. But I still know that God is in control and he knows my heart. I will pray for you and ask that you pray for me as well.

I will pray for you too, LadyR.

Sister Surprise,

I am lifting you up in prayer at this moment. It is often those who don't know their potential that is called by God. Before he formed you in your mother's womb he had a purpose and plan for you. It is scary because we don't know the outcome and we are unsure of ourselves, but He does and besides, He doesn't call the qualified, but qualifies those whom He calls. Trust Him even when you can't Trace Him.

Natasha5000,

I feel like you do, also. It feels as though I keep giving to others while they continue to ignore my needs. I try to remember that God is the only one that matters, and the only one I should be concerned about meeting my needs.
I also feel very lonely sometimes. I do not want to surround myself with people who are not seeking Godly things, so I am left to myself.

Could pm me and share with me some of the things you are talking about.

God has placed all of us here with different and unique gifts and talents. God knows us better than we know our selves. Sometimes we think that we know better and try to "help God" see why we shouldn't be doing what He wants us to do, or why we wouldn't be a "good fit". Well, don't let the Devil come and steal what the Lord has given you!! Be proud of your calling, and know that there are others that wish they had the calling that God gave you. Know that it is special and hand picked just for you!!
Be encouraged and be blessed.

Girl,

I think every christian faces this at some point in their growth. I am there now or shall I say I was there. I have been seeking God about my purpose and my calling., but because of the gifts he's given me I thought I should be doing something else. I also told God I don't want to do that. I want to sing and write, but who am I the clay to tell the potter what my purpose and destiny is.

Only the creater of a thing can say why he created a thing and for what purpose.

I had to ask him to create in me a clean heart and renew a right spirit in me. I had to tell my flesh never the less not my will but thy will. I had to repent. Then I began to do what God wanted me to do, and let me tell you God began to answer prayers that I forgot I prayed.

So tell your flesh, that's all it is your flesh don't want to submit or yeild, Neverthe less not my will but thy will.

Jesus said take this bitter cup from me but nevertheless not my will but they will be done. If Jesus had to say Never the less not my will but thy will then some point in our walk we will to.

NEVERTHELESS.

Love Ya
