willing

Basic fact #425: God calls us to do things way out of our comfort zones. And personally, it takes alot of prayer and letting go to follow God with the right attitude. The journey is hard, but as long as we are in God's will, we are provided for. 

However, what if God calls us to think about something just to ask us if we are simply willing to do His will? I saw this come up in my college search. I learned about a two year Bible college near my home, but it wasn't anything like the other colleges I was considering. However, I felt this huge pull to pray about the school and consider it. After much prayer, just when I was ready to talk to my parents about this change in plans, the pull was gone. I felt peace about my original decision. 

I think God wants me to be willing to follow Him to the ends of the earth, whether or not I stay in Wisconsin or even the United States. My heart needs to be willing. And if I am always open and receptive to God's will for my life, I can only imagine where His plan will take me. 

Jesus wants a willing heart. Are you willing? Am I?
