It's amazing how one word from a loved one can impact your day tremendously. And likewise, one word from a doctor.
And it's amazing how one decision of grace before the creation of the world brought us the perfect and exact redemption we needed- even with His knowing that we would not even be inclined to search for Him. (Merry Christmas!)
And as I thought about something TINY changing a person's life in an instant, I thought about the big picture of life, AND the little things that seemingly 'threaten' to change it. I found myself fighting the urge to think...
"I know the Lord wants me to be involved in church planting!! So what could get in the way of that?!"
But that is a false reality. What's true is that He asks us to follow Him and be involved in what He is involved in. What's not true is that we can confidently determine how that will play out in our lives.
It doesn't matter where I end up, If I make it to PNG and help plant and disciple a church.
What matters is "am I being His daughter faithfully and fully today, and each day?"
Why does it feel easier to surrender my life as a whole to Him, but more difficult still to freely offer Him this little detail and that little detail?
When will I stop being concerned about my own kingdom and become undividedly enamored with His?
