Life is a journey where we just have to keep moving forward and better if there is no turning back. I understand that most of us have experienced hard choices, stressful endeavors and difficult situations that will impact us in one way or another for the rest of our lives. And one of the most difficult responsibilities an individual can master is the ability to let go of the past and move forward towards the future.
Moreover, have you ever thought that the word GO is the smallest of words and could be the biggest of meanings. On the other hand, have you also noticed that sometimes life is quiet and peaceful, nothing creepy and each day much like the one before.
But sometimes God calls dramatically, in miracle and spark. While sometimes HE calls in a subtle way… maybe in stillness and whisper, sometimes it is so soft that we would not hear if we are not listening. It could be HE calls through HIS Word, through a friend, and sometimes through life’s circumstances.
However, do you know that God speaks and HE calls to us all because we are called for different roles, in different ways, at different points in our lives: one season holds one purpose, the next holds another.
Remembering my childhood days where nightly Family Devotion and morning Personal Devotion is a must, these two Bible verses have been very comforting and inspiring:
Romans 8:28 – “And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to HIS purpose.”
Ephesians 2:10 – “For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.”
It inspiring to know that God has the best plans for each of us. HE has work for us to do, work HE prepared a long time ago, work HE has equipped us to accomplish.
With this, our God is always calling His people to GO: to move, to give, to grow…
Maybe it’s time to GO.
Go somewhere new, someplace we have never been – a geographical place, a spiritual place, an interpersonal place.
Maybe it is TIME…
To MOVE FORWARD – after being stuck with one foot in the past.
To GO DEEPER – in Family Devotion or relationship with God most of all.
To GO HIGHER – in prayer or in dreams.
And maybe it’s time TO GIVE: to use our talents and opportunities God has given.
Or maybe it’s time TO GROW right where we are: to dig into the Word of God, dive into our heart, and become the person God is calling us to be.
In the end, we would be thankful to God and realized that we found the GOOD in goodbye.
If God is calling you… How will we answer?
