two things that I've seen today,a sermon and a movie, have provoked a couple of questions. Are you a misfit? Where do you see yourself in 5yrs. now those two questions bring about two more questions; are you where God put you? or are you where you put yourself?
I thought about these questions for a while and one thing came to mind; I grow where God plants me. when He sees I am no longer flourishing in that spot, that my growth is being stunted, He will uproot me and place me elsewhere. it may not be the most comfortable position, it may not be the prettiest scenery but wherever He plants me is where I have to grow until He says it's time to move on or He says this is where I stay.
I have had a lot of thoughts running through my head over the last week or so, some are valid and some are not. what I have to do is use my gift of discernment to determine which is which and proceed accordingly. God always listens and He always answers, all we have to do is be still and listen for Him. He has me in a situation right now that will promote my growth if I allow it to and when He sees that I have outgrown this pot He will uproot me and plant me in another one, larger so that it accommodates the next phase of growth.
I love when He speaks to me because it puts my mind at ease when those thoughts run through my head. better yet His voice reassures me that I am in the spot I need to be in to do what He needs me to do, when and how He needs me to do it.
I want to be wherever He places me in the next 5 years, not in the place I put myself in. do I want to fit in? not so much in the world's thought pattern of where I should be but where He has placed me.
so ask yourself those same questions and really meditate on them before you answer. are you a misfit? where do you see yourself in 5 years? are you where God put you or where you put yourself?
peace and blessings wonderful people and walk in your purpose!
