Give It Up

"And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose." Romans 8:28

Recently I had a hard decision to make.
Being a teenager means that more decisions I can make on my own. As a kid your parents always make decisions for you, to your best interest. As I'm getting older my parents are starting to ask me to make the decision, "It's your life." Sometimes decisions are easy, sometimes they are hard. This decision was a hard one for me.

I wasn't sure what to do. I didn't want to do it, but I wasn't sure if I should just do it anyways. I didn't know which was the right answer. I went back and forth. I really did not know what to do. So I gave it up to God. I said something like, "If this is what you want me to do. I'll do it. If not or not right now, I won't. Please make the decision for me. It's your decision God. My life is yours, so it's your decision."

Then I sighed and let it go. Surprisingly after that I wasn't worried about. The next day Mom called me over and told Me that she and Dad had made the decision that I wouldn't do it right now, but later. I was soooooooooooooo happy. I really wanted to do it later, but I wasn't sure if doing it now was the thing I was supposed to do. I was so happy and so thankful.

My point is this, not all decisions are for us to make. Our lives are Christ's, it's his decision. So I ask His opinion before I ever jump into something. And it's so nice to place the pressure of a decision on His shoulders and you know He'll make the right choice. So, let God make the decisions in your life. You will feel His love and power. :)

"In him we were also chosen, having been predestined according to the plan of him who works out everything in conformity with the purpose of his will," Ephesians 1:11

To God be the glory.
