I recently finished reading a book by Lysa TerKeurst "What Happens When Women Say Yes To God" and all I can say is wow am I encouraged to say Yes to God in every circumstance, no matter how great or small. I'm not saying it won't be a challenge as I believe almost every good thing comes with a challenge attached. I am however looking forward to what God has in store for me as I say Yes to Him in all that He requires of me.
This hasn't come easy as I have already been challenged by God to let go of something I love to do for a time, however I am looking forward to spending more time with God as I grow closer to Him in all that He asks of me.
I am very aware that this is not how I normally tend to blog however I just had to share about this book as I feel that it has been a great encouragement to me. God requires us to give Him our all, and that means all of us, including our wants, dreams and desires, some of which God may have given us, some He hasn't. In His timing I believe He will fulfil the desires and dreams that He has placed in our hearts.
I would love to hear if God has recently challenged you to say Yes to Him in something that you don't yet understand.
I would also like to suggest asking God what it is that He requires of you in this season of your life.
Until we meet again,

Ames, you should blog like this more often! You've encouraged me to get this book. And I love your post, it's beautifully written.
ReplyDeleteAs for something I've been challenged to say Yes to God in, which I don't understand... well I'm sure you can guess what that is. The waiting for our first little B.
