Preventing the Prevention of God's Purpose for Your Life

If God starts something in you, He will finish it. God started time, He can end time. God started our lives on this earth, and He'll finish our lives on this earth. When God starts something inside of you to carry out His purpose for your life, He will see it through that it is accomplished. God will always provide at least one way to carry out His Will. Is it always going to be easy? No. Is it always going to be preferable? Probably not. Are you going to want to do it, because you know that there's a chance you'll be mocked, there's a chance you'll be judged by the people around you, there's change, uncertainties, persecution, pain, suffering, and fear-- way too much fear that you allow power, you give fear power, you give it the power to control your emotions, your thoughts, your actions, and you eventually allow it to take hold of your soul, cripple your faith, and destroy your relationship with God. You give fear an inch, forget it going a mile, it will run the whole marathon, destroying everything in its path. Yes, we all have worries and doubts, but we can lay them at the foot of God's throne, giving them up to God. He will take care of any doubts, any worries, any hardships, anything that could possibly hold you back from Him, God will take care of it but first you have to go to Him. God is waiting for you to come to Him and say: "Here I am, I am your servant. Take these burdens from me so I can serve you." but you think to yourself, "It can wait, God's got all the time in and out of the world." Sure, God can "wait" on you. He's willing to wait. The thing is, you only have so much time in this world. You cannot afford to wait, to drop your ego and ask for God's help because He is the only one with the power to help you, to heal you, He keeps you alive, He created you and knows you better than you know yourself. Yes, when you give your fears, worries, and burdens to God, there will still come moments when you grow weak and allow fear to take hold of you and that's when you ask God again to take away the fear. Fears, insecurities, and doubts are what keeps you from living out His plans in your life but it doesn't have to be that way. So many people think there's no way of their struggles because of the depth, length, width, height, and power their situation has on them. But there is a way out, through Jesus Christ. To you, your problems may seem too big to handle, too deep, too wide, too long, and too high for anyone but God's love stretches so deep, so wide, so long, so far, and has so much more power than we could ever imagine or begin to comprehend. It's intangible. When you encounter the love of God, you are never the same. You may try to stray away but you're never the same because the love of God is so powerful that it has an effect on you the moment you encounter it. It's perfection, complete and total perfection. It's unconditional and it's everlasting. It's not a physical object with some minimum or maximum quantity. God's love for you never runs out. He never stops loving you. It doesn't matter what you've done, what you've been through, where you've come from, because the reality is we're all equal in God's eyes as His creation and as children of the One True King and no one can take that away from you. God's love is so great, He had His only son die as a way for us, sinful by nature humans, to be with Him, a sinless, perfect God. God loves us so much that when we come to Him and give our burdens to Him, He takes them up and clears you of the fears and doubts but you have to give it all to Him. It's a leap of faith into a body of water that you hardly know anything about. You don't know what's in store, you can't see the bottom, all you can do is listen to God, trust Him, and follow Him. He will lead you through the waters, the trials and struggles. At times, maybe you wander off and a current picks up but then you look for God, you call out to Him, He finds you and He continues to keep you safe, leading you through your life. Other people, you come across them, some distract you, giving you the option to stray off course, others are used by the Holy Spirit to lead you back to Him and strengthen your relationship with Him. Sometimes you're struggling to barely tread the water, sometimes you're lacking in faith and you begin to sink. You call upon the name of the Lord and God will bring you back up to the surface. You're like a little kid in the ocean, your life-vest being your faith in God, and your safety and direction being God himself. Waves will come and your faith in God will keep you afloat. You can make the choice to continue to trust God throughout the storms and be safe, or you can choose to stray off. At the end of the body of water, the end of your life, you're ending up at one place or the other. Don't let you fears, worries, doubts, and ego cause you to be unsure of which place you'll be. There is purpose in your pain and suffering, regardless of whether you realize what the purpose is. Don't let that pain and suffering go to waste by straying from God's plan when He can use you and your experiences to impact others, bring them closer to Him, and further grow the Kingdom of Heaven. Your struggle is not the same thing as the purpose for your struggle. God doesn't allow you to go through hell on earth just to have something going on in the timeline. God will use you, you just have to let Him work through you, because He will.
