"Who knows? It's only just out of reach, round the block, on the beach, under a tree?!"
Who DOES know? Lately it's become apparent to me that I know very little of any consequence. I feel for some reason as if the Lord is asking me, "Do you trust me?". I've been thinking about that phrase all day. "Do you trust me?"
I believe the Lord knows me better than I know myself. I have this plan in my head of who I want to be and the typical idea-filled thought of where I want to be in 10 years. Ten years? I could be anywhere. Isn't that what is so beautiful though? We have infinite potential. If I wanted to I could work my butt off and become a physical therapist or psychologist. I could choose to be a waitress or a stamp collector. A mother. A caretaker. The best wife in the whole world. So why live up to only my expectations? The Lord does know everyone, and I know he knows me. He knows what will make me happy before I even think about it, and if I trust in Him, He will lead me to those things that will make me the MOST happy, and He already has.
Who knows? The Lord does.
A very wise woman said to me once, "If you don't like your consequences, change your choices." Imagine if the whole world believed this. No one could place the blame of their circumstances on anyone else but themselves. The truth comes down to this: We make ourselves who we want to be, it's just a matter of what type of self we choose to settle for. If we want to be more understanding, try looking at the view of the person who we're judging. If we want to be more friendly, we should smile more and work to be more of the person we would want to be best friends with. So why not choose happiness???
The Lord knows our potential. All we have to do is turn to Him to help direct our choices so we can be more happy with our consequences.
