Thy Will Be Done

Good evening bloggers,

Tonight I'm in a place of resolve. There comes a time in your life where you have no clue what to do anymore and you have to just look to God and say, 'thy will be done'. I'm at that point. I am done giving my energy to something that I cannot control or change. Its time to set my focus some place more beneficial to me and others around me.

Yesterday I talked about writing the vision God has given you in your heart down so you might have physical evidence of what you have seen. Today, I have decided to pursue my vision and pour all of my energy into bringing it forth into the earth so that God might have His way. I have realized a shift in focus can make a world of difference in you emotional space and mental space. Why allow something or someone who has revoked all privileges to occupy your mind and heart continue to stay there? I'm no longer wasting my energy. Don't waste yours. There is so much more for you. Don't let another person's bad decisions and dysfunction hold you back. I have to give credit to my counselor for this sudden revelation.

Determine in yourself to be the person God called you to be. To fulfill His plans for your life. I believe that's the only way to find true fulfillment in yourself. Let go of your past, everything and everyone that hurt you, open up your heart to God and say, THY WILL BE DONE, then let Him take it from there. In Philippians 3:13-14, Paul says: Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead, I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. In other words he was saying he cannot get rid of his past but he can continue the ongoing process of forgetting things in order to keep moving forward. I'm sure Paul felt like me and just wished he could erase his memory but he did not rest on his past failures, success, hurts, disappointments, etc. He continued to labor for the Lord. (Nelson Study Bible: NKJ Version..great commentary) I don't know about you but I'm like Paul, forget what has happened, I cannot change the past but what I can do is continue to press forward toward the goal or the vision God had given me according to His purpose for my life, for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. I want to hear the words 'Well Done My Good And Faithful Servant'.

So don't let anyone, any past situation, any current things stop you from fulfilling your purpose. Make the choice today to say to God, Thy Will Be Done. God is a faithful God. Jeremiah 29:11 says God knows the thoughts that He thinks towards us, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give us a future and a hope. God is not a man that He should lie. (Numbers 23:19) and His word will not return to Him void or unfulfilled (Isaiah 55:11). So let God have His way and trust that GREATER IS COMING!
