My friend asked me the other day, "Don't you just wish sometimes that God would just make things a lot easier. lol. Man, sometimes obeying him is sooo tough!" She is in a transition period now where she feels God is leading her down a specific path and she is trying to discern which path that may be. She wants nothing more than to follow His will.
Why can't God make it a little easier? Maybe it is so easy we find it complex. We have a habit of overcomplicating matters a lot - Especially when it comes to God. We want burning bush experiences, where God reveals Himself to us and points us in the right direction. But we forget that part of our discovering God's call for our lives has a great deal of ROMANCE!
There is the element of pursuit, courtship, and discovery that keeps the blood pumping for another adventure in God. Something's waiting to be found. A treasure, a reward, a piece of God. And to obtain these things, we must be willing to get a little dirty and head out into the great wild adventure, with only God as our compass.
We are in the business of love. We are told to love. We have the heart of God pumping within ours and God leads us with that love. We have the privilege to encounter and associate with forgotten people and love them. We have the honor TO BE PART OF GODS STORY and see the transformation happen in those lives. We get to see great treasures immerse out of the wreckages of what seem to be hopeless situations. We get to witness people moving from feeling forgotten, to knowing God knows them by name and knowing they belong. All this because we do the simple task requested of us... to love.
When we love... we see burning bushes.
