People are always asking “What do you want to be when you grow up?”
I want to be the kind of person that can say “I want to be whatever God calls me to be, whenever He calls me to be it.”
That sentence is not an easy one.
Because I know what that means.
Sometimes it means doing what you’ve always wanted to do.
Like if you felt like being a preacher was the coolest job ever, and then God said something like “Be a preacher for Me.” That would be awesome.
But, other times it means letting go.
Letting go of dreams.
Letting go of fears.
Letting go of everything you know, except the peace of knowing that
God’s will is the only thing that matters.
Like if you didn’t know what you wanted to be, and then God said something like “Be a missionary for Me.”, and you said “Uh, I don’t know what I want, but I know what I don’t want. And I don’t want to be a missionary.” That, for me at least, would stink.
And it does.
Right now, I don’t know what God’s plans are for me except that
He wants me to love Him and follow Him.
With all of my heart.
With all of my soul.
With all of my mind.
As I let go.
So All May Know,
