God will never force Himself on us. Jesus knocks on the door, but leaves the decision on whether or not to open that door to us. Sadly, I think about how many things I must have missed out on. How many times has God come knocking on my heart only to discover I have left no room for Him? God’s plan will be carried out regardless. I am the one that missed out on the blessing of being able to participate in that plan.
Don't miss being a part of God's plan. There is a man in the Bible that almost missed Christmas. His name was Joseph. It wasn't because he was distracted with holiday parties, visiting relatives or completing his shopping list. He just couldn't see how his current circumstances were part of God's plan for his life.
If Joseph had walked away from Mary, he would have missed Christmas. And he would have missed the life-defining lesson that God's plans aren't always logical in human eyes, but they can always be trusted.
What at first looked like a huge problem, a troubling circumstance, a total reputation-wrecker to Jospeh, turned out to be the most glorious things in his life when seen from God's perspective.
God's ways are not our ways. And sometimes in our greatest difficulties we find our greatest opportunities and blessed responsibilities.
Make sure your vacancy sign is always on!
Blessings,
