Sometimes God's Will Is Not Pleasant Or Easy

Sometimes, God's will can feel like a chore. There will be things God asks me to do that are uncomfortable. Some how we think when we are in God's will we will enjoy every part of it. But often, God's will is not pleasant or easy. It can be a place we don't like. But God doesn't call us to like or enjoy it, He calls us to be faithful in it.

Operating in the flow of God's power is so much better than working against it. - Lysa TerKeurst

When we choose to live selfishly for ourselves, our lives shine more brightly here on Earth, but less glorious in His kingdom. For it is good to suffer in this life so we will reign in the one to come; to bear the cross below, to wear a crown above; and to know that not our will, but His will be done in us and through us.

We each have a choice: stretch ourselves, be willing to leave the coziness of our contentment and trust Him with the details or stay where we are and refuse to accommodate His greater plan because we're too lazy and self-absorbed to realize that it's not all about us.

When things don't follow my timetable or God doesn't "perform" the way I think He should....instead of getting mad at God, shutting down, or walking away....I hold onto Him even tighter. ♥
