My pastor has been preaching about greater things lately.
It's a subject that really resonates with me because I have always felt a
calling on my life to do greater things. Now figuring out what the greater
things are, is the harder part. But I truly believe that everyone has a
great calling on their life, whether it be a great runner, a great assistant, a
great mom and wife, or even a composer. The thing is, is that we get
discouraged easily. "Timing isn't right," "I don't have the knowledge," "I have to
wait to hear when to move," "this just isn't the time or place," and so on.
We are sitting waiting to make the next move, but really I think God is
sitting and waiting for us to make the next move. He's already given us
the tools, because honestly if it's on our hearts to do something then we are
ready to go. That is what makes anything a great move: heart (well wisdom
too, but I believe that if we seek guidance and pray, then the wisdom will
come).
With the calling on my life, well I know I haven't met it yet. It will probably take years to achieve just the first part, but I've learned that this time is precious and I just need to keep moving forward. There have been times (and still are) that I get frustrated with God and the whole timing of everything. I realized today though, that He is a perfect God because He is true and pure perfection and truth. If He met up with my version of perfect, then He wouldn't be true perfection. He would be whatever I wanted Him to be and that is just not who He is. He is the alpha and omega. He created such large objects such as stars as well as the smallest creatures, such as the ant. He is the definition of what love is, and His greatness will forever reign (whether we like it or not... I'm a big fan though). His timing will work out. It's definitely possible that I have taken a few wrong turns along the way, but they are what they are, I just have to keep moving forward. I know there are people that think I have failed because I have not taken that step towards the dreams I once had/still have yet, and let's face it, I am not where I thought I would be by the age of 26. But this is where I am. No matter if this is where I was supposed to be, and even with it not being where I always wanted to be, this is where I am. The great thing about it though, is that God still has greater things for me. His promise to me will still happen, He still loves me no matter what, and His perfection is better than I could ever dream. And the great thing about it, is that the same promise is for you as well.
I'm not done living yet, matter of fact, I'm just beginning. As one of my main men sang, The Best Is Yet To Come.
