Willingly Give Up

Job 17:9 My days have passed, my plans are shattered, and so are the desires of my heart.

Have you been there, done that with Job? Do you feel like God has led you down a path that seems to be completely opposite of what you had been hoping? I would say that was me not that long ago. There are certain places I have decided to sacrifice my own desires for that which God has called me. It's interesting, but since I made that decision and I willingly gave up my desires for God's, I feel a certain freedom I haven't felt before. I'm experiencing grace in a whole new way.  I am walking down a path that is completely new to me, uncertain is my way and unknown is the outcome. But still I walk knowing that as God is faithful to His promises and Jesus always has me by the hand. I'm experiencing a shift in my desires and I'm seeing plans form that are exciting and not my own. Life is not what I thought it was going to be, but with God the possibilities are endless. His ways are not my ways...Praise Him for that! My advice...hold tight to Jesus and wait with expectancy.
