Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.
~~1 Thessalonians 5:16- 18
I had always wanted to seek God's will for me. I tried to ask Him too specific questions, but I kept on receiving no answer. I never realized that I was focused on wrong things. It doesn’t really matter what decisions I choose because no matter what life I want, He only wants one thing for us – ultimate JOY and PEACE in Him. Decisions like what school to go to, course to take up, and offers and opportunities to grab aren’t as important as being in tune with God’s will and staying synched with Him in molding us into the person He wanted everyone to be.
I tried to be praying to Him continuously, but it wasn’t that heartfelt. It was as if I pray because I couldn’t do anything for the situation, which is just wrong. God doesn’t just work when we ask Him to or when we urgently need Him ASAP. He wanted us to grow in Him and be mature in all ways. He wanted us to acknowledge Him in being a part of our growing up in sadness and in joy and not just in worried hours.
He is working in us every single second we stay here on earth and it is our duty to stay synched with Him as He continuously mold us into a unique masterpiece He would be proud of and He would be glorified. He wanted us to pray earnestly to Him and offer Him every single detail of our lives. He wanted us to give thanks in everything that has happened. He allowed everything to happen on a purpose. Bad things will come and may have already passed, but he did not allowed that to happen to punish us but to give us a lesson, to nurture us and to strengthen us. He wants us to have a joyful heart and be at peace with Him in all circumstances.
He never wanted us get withered but he wanted us to grow beautifully inside-out. He wanted to bring about the best of what we are.
Everyday and even life turning decisions aren’t as crucial as having a joyful heart and having a lifestyle in synched with that of God. For no matter what life we may be, with God as the center of it, everything will be as light as a smiling face and as pleasant as a glittering eyes filled with joy and love, sunshine amidst a storm.
