Choosing God's Will

In this season I am learning how to choose God's Will over my own. I am no longer choosing to do things my way. For so long this went on without me even realizing it until just recently. I had never entertained the thought of letting go of my idea of what a certain aspect of my life should look like. I had only saw it one way for so long that I didn't even know there was another way of seeing it. I believe God allows His perspective to be revealed to us to show us just how unreasonable ours is. He expressed to me how He saw it, and I didn't agree with it at all. I felt like I couldn't let go, but deep down inside I saw the goodness in His choice. I saw the wisdom, and I couldn't allow myself to stay stuck in my idea of what this aspect of my life should look any longer.

"God's way or no way."

It was hard getting to that place. It didn't happen overnight. It took some time even with me knowing His choice was what was best for me. I wrestled with God about it, and I made it clear that I did not like His way in doing things, but that didn't change His mind. Like a Father who knows best for His child He stood firm on what He felt was best for me despite my feelings. He didn't disregard my feelings, but He also didn't allow how I felt to sway Him. Living for ourselves is one thing, but living for God is another, and it requires making sacrifices that we won't always want to make. Giving up your way in doing things will require you to let go of some things that you hold dear to you, and some things that you may feel are non-negotiable, but when you choose God's will over your own His Will becomes non-negotiable. Either your in or your out there is no in between.
