God's Favor

So many times we expect 100% of His favor and blessing when we are only willing to give Him 20% of our lives. We have to be proportionate in our giving. He will only work with what we give Him. He has given us free will and though He has good plans for us, if we do not fully cooperate with Him, we will never receive all He has for us.

I pursue HIM and HE pursues His perfection in me. He desires me to see the world through His eyes, with His heart. There's no way for me to do that in my own strength.

Favor isn't about what you get from God, it is about the way you view your world. Expectation.

When I am looking for God's favor, I am able to recognize that it can sometimes come in the form of God removing something from my life. Sometimes we fail to realize that in order to have a new beginning, there must be an end.

Sometimes God has to delete stuff from your hard drive to make room for an upgrade. :)

There are times when God allows us to go through hard places to get our attention. Because He is merciful, He stops us. He doesn't let us ruin the plan for our life. He let's us take a long detour, and He allows us to wander around. It is during this time of drifting that we realize He is taking us somewhere else and that He had to take drastic measures to get us off the path we were on, otherwise we would have kept going in the wrong direction.

Every experience God gives us, every person He puts in our lives is the perfect preparation for the future that only He can see. - Corrie Ten Boom
