I’ve been waiting to hear from God and that’s why I have been a little MIA. But honestly, I’ve felt disconnected lately. Then last night I was praying and I felt God say “Are you willing.” He gave me those same words last year around this time. And they’ve stuck in my head ever since but this time they meant something more.

God was telling me to let go of what I thought. What I thought I needed and where I thought I should be by now. To trust Him. I think we get into thinking things have to be a certain way based off social media and our culture. You start looking around and comparing and realize “Hey?! why am I not there?!” or “Why don’t I have that?!” But you cant compare yourself to what society says. We get so entangled in our own ideas we leave no room for God.

Did God not create you?! He knows you and your deepest desires so you can trust things will happen when the time is perfect for YOU. God knows what’s best for you and only you. You don’t need to worry about the time line of things. I feel like when we worry we miss what God is trying to teach us through our circumstances. I know whatever God has for me will happen because whatever God has anointed for me I cannot miss! When God has anointed you to do something there won’t be a huge struggle. Yes, you might have obstacles, but He will bless you being you because there is an anointing on you. Only God can open the doors He has placed for that calling on your life. No matter how hard some people strive to be something or someone if they aren’t called to it they won’t succeed through it. One option relies on our own efforts and the other relies on Gods abilities giving Him complete control.

I’ve noticed the more I try to be something I’m not it doesn’t work out. The more I strive to be accepted by the world I fail by its standards. That’s because God created us unique. He created You to be You! God won’t bless a counterfeit. He hasn’t called you to be like them. When God spoke the world into existence He knew you. He said ” _______ is my masterpiece they are fearfully and wonderfully made.” You ARE pleasing to God. Isn’t that enough?

I’ve come to the point where I know God loves me and knows what’s best for me. Why should I spend my time being miserable trying to be something or someone that isn’t who I’m called to be? Because when you accept who God created you to be you allow Him to work in and through you. Accept yourself for who you are and where you’re at. You may still need a little work but do what you can and God will do the rest!

So, turn away. Turn away from comparison and step into who God called you to be. Turn back to God and His ways. When you give God your heart he will give you the desires of yours. The question is are you willing?

Remember You are Fearfully and Wonderfully Made ❤
