“I’m not saying that I have this all together, that I have it made. But I am well on my way, reaching out for Christ, who has so wondrously reached out for me. Friends, don’t get me wrong: By no means do I count myself an expert in all of this, but I’ve got my eye on the goal, where God is beckoning us onward—to Jesus. I’m off and running and I’m not turning back.”

God has a predestined place designed for you.  There are others who can try to do what He wants you to do.  However,  they would not be able to do it exactly the way you would because He has made each of us a  unique one of a kind original.

If you feel a strong desire in your spirit to do something that you have only dreamed of but, never pursued it, why not go ahead and reach for it.   In other words develop a plan that will at least quench your thirsty curiosity.  You many just discover that as you honor that dream, desire, or longing that you have been feeling inside was actually placed there by God.

 

Steps To Reach For More

 

Express Gratitude– As you put your plan together in discovering more for your life and situation sure to thank God for where you are now, and thank Him for the places that you will experience along the way on your journey of discovery.

 

Goal Setting –  Set aside some time to write down what you want to do. Set a time frame that includes when you want to begin putting your plan into action.   Also document when you want to reach your goals realizing that it’s not the end of the world if you don’t meet that deadline, just don’t give up, keep reaching for completion.

 

Do Your Research –  Find out what it takes to get your goals accomplished.  The internet is a universal library that’s filled with so much information.  It’s a great place to start on your research venture.   Also, ask successful, positive people who will support your vision about how they reached their goals.

 

Vision Board –  Make a vision board by cutting and pasting pictures to poster board that remind you of what you want to accomplish in your life.  Place it somewhere that you frequent often and thank the Lord for it coming to pass in His timing. 

 

Remember –   If any fear tries to  come  as you’re moving forward never forget that the Lord is with you, He wants you to succeed, and His powerful hand trumps fear every time.

Reflections

 

1. Psalm 37:4 KJV says, “Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.”  What desires do you have that you have not pursued?

 

2. Have  you ever thought about the fact that perhaps the Lord placed those desires in your heart in the first place?

 

3. What will you do to honor that godly urge that  you feel inside to move forward and discover more beautiful and powerful things that the Lord has in store for you?
