Finding your path

I have been looking for my path for many years. The older you get the the more you know right? Wrong. I just learn more and more how confused I am and how little I know. That sounds like a bad thing but it isn't. It is actually growth. Its realizing that there are things greater than you. Much greater than you. So you learn to let God take control. Let God lead you. I have skills and abilities, but God has a place for them. So I have to quit using them to get somewhere, and start using them to help fullfill my small part of the Will of God.

So now I am letting God lead me. And he is. The part that is important is this, its not where I would have seen myself five years ago, but it is a place that makes me happier than I would have thought possible. I think that is the key thing all Christians (hopefully all people) must learn. God knows what is best for you. If you want a new BMW and a 5000 Square foot house, and he wants you to have an old pair of shoes and a cot, you will be MUCH HAPPIER with the cot. It sounds crazy, and it slightly is, but it is true. He knows what is best.

Does that mean best for you all the time? no. It means best for all, all the time. Sometimes as a Christian we must accept that we are not first priority, but that all people are first priority. He loves us all the same. So would he make me sacrifice so many others can be happy? yes, yes he would. And I love him for that. Its why I have Faith in him.
