I was wearing my "I love Detroit" shirt yesterday - I wear it with pride, and hope and pray that I will soon be there, in Detroit, serving a broken city! This is a dream, a desire of mine that I believe God has given me.
And I have lots more things that I want to see and want to do with my life! But I find that so easily without me realising, my dreams can become idols in my life! They can become the reason I do things, my dreams can become the focus and the driving point to my life!
I was just reading through some of my old journals, and came across this word God gave me
"I know you more that you know yourself.
Do you not think that what I have for you is the best? Am I not a God who loves His children?
TRUST – Is walking it out even if you don’t know what is next. The great thing is, you know He does know what is next!!
Are you ready to let go? Are you ready to say no to your agenda and yes to mine?
It is time – time to forget about you and what you want to do, and focus on me. Focus on my plans, my future for you."
This was a huge reminder for me that God is in control! He does have the BEST for us. And I was the best for my life!
I know that I have to lay down my plans and my dreams and put God first!
Surrender.
Let go and let God.
What things in your life have become idols?
What do you need to give back to God for Him to truly have your ALL?
