There was a time in my life when I avoided giving my whole heart to God in fear that He would ask me to do something I did not want to do.
“Oh God don’t ask me to sell my house on the beach. Don’t ask me to visit the prisons or the sick.”
I would cringe when God would speak to me. I was so afraid He was about to ask me to give up something I desired or ask me to be responsible for some kind of ministry I had no desire to pursue.
My ego was not going to give in to something I did not want. But much to my surprise, the Holy Spirit made it clear to me this not how God works. That is my image of God, forcing me to do something I did not want to do.
The Holy Spirit reminded me if I made my agreements with God before I came to this physical world then why would I question them? The Holy Spirit said I would have never made my agreements if I knew they were something I would not truly desire.
As it turns out every thing that God has asked of me. He is only reminding me of what I agreed to before.
When I really opened my heart and trusted Him, I found the desires I did not want to give up were not want I really wanted after all.
This revelation has totally transformed my understanding of how God works. I know now that He will never ask of me something I did not agree to before. I now choose to remember every thing in my agreement that I might fulfill my purpose here on earth.
After all this is what gives me the greatest joy, fulfilling the purposes of God.
