RE: Only Do The Things That Align With Your Values
Regardless of where you are or how restless you are to move on, God has a purpose for you – there – in that specific place. He has called you to your job, as well as your neighborhood, even if you’d prefer to be somewhere else. He has called you to your family, even if you have been hurt in some way. We cannot let past events and experiences prevent us from opening our gift to a better future. We are the ones who wander off, while God gently guides us back to where we belong for this season
Matthew 5:14-16
“You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.
Until you take a look around and realize that God has called you to that place for a purpose, you may end up staying there a while until you learn how to transform your restlessness into a contentment that comes from deep within. You see, if you don’t learn how to cultivate that now during difficult times, you won’t appreciate it or even recognize it later
Your words mean alot. I really appreciate your insight on this matter. I do believe God has a purpose for me and one of the hardest things to do is to trust him in the midst of all the hurt and struggle. But I trust him for my life. He will provide for me and my family while I carry out my purpose.
