Isn’t this the truth? And I don’t regret any of them. Every choice I’ve made good or bad has led me to where I am now…right where I’m supposed to be.
God has a purpose and a plan for my life. Each bad decision I’ve made has been part of the test. Following every whim and desire of my heart is not always the best decision. I’m learning that the abuse of free will can be costly. Not listening to my gut instincts and ignoring God’s whispers leads me to make the same wrong decisions repeatedly.
I can be extremely hard headed! I become impatient and prefer to take shortcuts. But giving my life over to the Lord means desiring to live as He wants me to live and then following through wholeheartedly. He isn’t going to open new doors for me as long as I’m still making the same bad decisions. Good stories don’t necessarily mean a good life.
It’s all about trust and following through with obedience. Life becomes so much easier when you DECIDE to trust God fully and walk in that truth instead of wobbling across the fence.
Thank you God for opening new doors for me as I become more obedient. I know I’m never going to be perfect and I’ll always make mistakes but please help me to make decisions that please You. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
