We want what we want in our lives, I know, but sometimes we miss the forest ahead, for the trees in our way. We get scared and want to stop going, it all just seems "too BIG," and want to give up. Then we look at what our heavenly Father has done for us, and what he has asked us to do doesn't seem so big anymore. We know in our own strength we wouldn't be able to go at it alone, but we know, in Mark 10:27 that "with God, all things are possible."
We remember Philippians 4:13; "I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me." and that gives us even more of the courage and faith we need to accomplish. You see, I heard a pastor say one time, "ALL means ALL and that is ALL that ALL means."
In other words, All is just about EVERYTHING! Everything we set out to do in the will of our Father, God, He will give us the strength to face, the trials, the craziness, the opposition, and all the joy that serving God holds for your life. I have served God for most of my life, even when I wasn't living has His Child, I still served Him and others because I knew it was the right thing to do, and there is nothing else I will ever want to do, besides be in His complete will, serving HIM. I am so humbled and overwhelmed by God's goodness, and His choice in me, that I can't think of anything else I'd rather do.
The Bible says in Matt. 22:14, "Many are called, but few are chosen." I just can't believe he Selected me, and that He found a place in His service and His kingdom where He could use a "runaway" like me, but I am so glad He did.
All the trials, the mountains, and the valleys, I have had to go through to get to where I am, I wouldn't turn back or change my mind now. He picked me up out of my sorrows and placed my feet on high ground to walk with Him, forever. No turning back, I've come to far to turn back now.
