Along the way I’ve tried to force God to reveal His plans for me. In my eagerness, I’ve asked Him to show me His will; I’ve implored Him to reveal His plans; I’ve begged and pleaded with Him to guide me to my life’s mission; I’ve entreated Him to give me a peek at the final picture of my life.
In a renewed effort to find my God-appointed place in life, I recently challenged myself to begin carving out alone time with God—making God-time a priority in my life. And, as is always the case with God, He didn’t waste time or mince words; the very first hour I spent in quite communion with Him, His Holy Spirit whispered this simple truth to my weary, searching soul: “I am enough.”
He whispered, “I long to be your Bridegroom, your Lover, your All-In-All; so why are you seeking more? I am everything you are looking for. I am the fulfillment of your spoken and unspoken desires. I am that connection you desperately pursue. I am the community you long for. I am the fulfillment of your heart’s deepest yearnings. I am enough.”
This powerful truth soothed my restless soul, giving me relief from the constant searching, seeking, imploring, begging, pleading, and worrying. The truth was so simple—all that was required of me was to fully focus on my relationship with God, giving Him permission to complete the work He had already begun in me. This realization released me from my time-consuming, life-sucking worry, giving me the freedom to fully focus on God.
So join me as I fix my eyes on the prize—a deep, fulfilling relationship with God. Join me as I embrace the simple truth that growing this essential relationship is the only way to fully experience the joyful journey God has planned for me.
Final Thought: When I fully focus on God, everything else in my life falls into place.
