God uses Facebook!

I was scrolling through Facebook today and came across many powerful messages that seemed to be directed at me. Some messages are just what people have on their minds, but today was different. I have several friends that spread the word of God on a daily bases and most days I enjoy the message, but it does not feel like it is directed towards me. Today was different.

Many things have been weighing on my mind about what my purpose is, where I am supposed to be in my life and what I need to do carry out God's plan for me. One message stood out and seemed to hit home. The message was, "Be more responsive to God today. Act on what HE is asking, telling you to do!" It may seem like a general message to everyone that reads it, but it has a very strong connection to my life. I have been putting off a few things in my life that I need to complete. Medic re-certification for one.

I have also been considering several other changes in my life. I believe that God places certain people in our life to direct these messages to us at the right moments in our life. He wants us to think about our options and decide what we need to do, but then He tells us when it is time to act. You must prepare your life and yourself for the task at hand prior to carrying out the mission. I have said it before and I will say it again, dig your ditches. This is the strongest message that I have heard in a long time. It applies to everything that you are planning to do. You can ask for favor all day long, but if you are not ready to receive your blessing, it may not come.

God can do anything, but you have to remember that he is our Father. He will not do everything for you. You have to learn on your own so that one day you can guide others and teach them. He will give you the tools and the knowledge that you need and he will give you the strength and the courage to overcome obstacles. He will show you the path(s) to follow and you have to choose the best one. Some paths may be lit, but most will be dark. You will find many unknowns, but you will not know the reward unless you have faith that you are being guided and protected.

Live each day to the fullest, love one another and follow the signs. You will be rewarded and find your purpose. Trust your heart and your mind and you can overcome anything.
