Obedience

         I can't remember how or when it all started, i don't even remember how life was before it, all i could think of with every waking minute, was this: "How on earth am i supposed to fulfill God's purpose for my life?".
Usually, if i think hard enough, and am objective enough, i find answers to the whatever questions are troubling me. Not so with this question.

         I tossed and turned, and stared so hard at so many ceilings, i was begining to think i was losing my mind. First i had to understand purpose, then vision, then i needed to understand the difference between purpose and vision, then i realized that the purpose really wasn't mine to decide and that the bar has been raised so high by the apostles it seemed no one could surpass them.

         Then it dawned on me.My part is just a small part of the whole. A little image in a big picture. I saw that i didn't have to measure up to anyone at all. I realised that all i had to do was to grow into the image and stature that God had planed for me. To grow into the man i was destined to be. To follow in the path outlined for me. To be just the man i was designed to be. NO MORE, NO LESS!

         Then i found my answer. To be all that God has called me to, I simply had to obey! I have to listen and let his voice guide me along the path He has prepared for me. Let His soothing words rid me of all fear and doubts. The answer i had been searching for was contained in just one word.

         OBEDIENCE.
