We wait most of our lives to find permission to be, to be noticed, loved, valued, find out what we are good at.. but there’s something we knew all along and you knew long before. God wrote it on your heart, it was always there, in the kitchen when you’re daydreaming, that still small voice of wonder.. if only. Those thoughts are not random. They are whispers from heaven beckoning you to step into your calling, and we can choose to listen, hit mute, call him a liar, be afraid, or just jump.
God’s been whispering ideas to me for years — and I’ve been over here treating them like items in my Amazon cart: “Save for later.”
Can you make a mental list of all the cool ideas you’ve had over the years?
Now look back, what kind of momentum would that have been in your life, combined all together, if you had just done it?
They change with the seasons of life and sometimes fade into new ideas… but the fact remains you were an intentional part of God’s handiwork.
Like He was whispering in your ear and you were faced with a choice — follow the whisper or avoid it and then wonder why you never hear God’s voice.
Just maybe He speaks to us in small bits, and the more we listen, the louder and clearer the direction becomes.
It’s like a test of faithfulness:
- Can I trust you with much?
- What do you cultivate with what I’ve given you?
- Do you listen to the still, small voice I’ve given you?
- Are your prayers hindered by the peace you lack?
Do you have that life you dream of, and what are you doing about it?
We all know that favor falls on the just and the unjust, but the fruit of our lives should be active — an overflow of a creative life.
And if nothing else, and no return, the simple fact of obedience, even if it’s unclear… hints at direction.
You were made with a purpose, and you should follow your heart. God put those desires in your heart for a reason.
Life can throw a bunch of things at you that drain your energy, plunge your finances, put you on the long road and make you question if you’re even awake — because your mom badge is glitching in the Roblox tab on your mental computer.
So many things can hinder us!
And even if you can’t find your motivated army to join you, do it yourself… the real army will eventually come with reinforcements.
So this, my friends, this blog, is one of those things I pushed aside.
So here’s to pressing the publish button!
–> You can too! Write the book, publish the post, make the item… call that friend!
In a world of “look at me,” just look to the ONE who made you and listen.
