I recently heard on a podcast that sometimes we want answers more than we want God.
And that SHOOK me. Because I think it might have been God’s wake up message for me.
Being a senior in college, I am looking for a lot of answers.
My questions sound like this:
What am I going to do after graduation?
Where am I going to meet friends, since many of mine are moving?
Where am I going to live after graduation?
What am I supposed to do with this passion of mine?
What is most important to me?
Am I on the right track?
….And all the time I am wanting answers.
I don’t think there is anything wrong with wanting answers- I mean God made us this way. To be curious, to want more, to wonder.
But, I also do know that God made us to be loved by our creator- to sit in stillness with Him, to trust in Him and to live in His agape love for us.
This year in particular I’ve been tested with these questions that I don’t know the answer to. I have consulted with friends and family and even asked God to reveal the answers to me.
I expected the answers to these questions to take form as an undeniably God-given sign. In other words, I wanted the answers to be clear as day. I wanted God to explicitly tell me what I was supposed to do with my life.
I still don’t have the clear answers to the questions I wrestle with daily, but I do have a better direction of what it is I am waiting on- and it is Jesus.
Friend, if you aren’t following what I am getting at, here it is: we think we want answers about our life, but in reality we actually want Jesus.
So, all in all, if you are looking for answers about ANYTHING in your life, I get it, I have been there, I STILL am there.
But, if you want the answers, if you want clarity, if you want to know if you are in the right direction I recommend you start spending more time with THE ONE who is the answer to many of the questions.
All the love. Cheering you on!
