Do I really want to continue in my sin, resisting or dismissing the Holy Spirit’s conviction, knowing the glory of what God has promised if I repent and follow Christ?  Can I justify my argument with God, for that is what my disobedience, resistance and denial have become?  Do I truly wish to be back in a conflict with God, having been redeemed and set right with God by Christ’s sacrifice.  Wouldn’t I rather bask in the lack of condemnation afforded those of us who have accepted our walk with Jesus?  I am sorry folks, I will not be able to fulfill your dream for my life as this one is meant for service in God’s Holy Name.  I must forgo your approval as I know that it entails winning all the silver, gold and accolades available to worldly men.  That is not my destiny.  Would that I could fill your eyes with joy at my care for the sick, lost and dying, but these things do not impress you.  To me these things are my greatest joy, to know in some manner I have lent honor to God’s glory in an effort to the love those whom He created for salvation.

How about you?  Are there behaviors to which you know you should not be participating, yet you avoid detection, accountability or surrender in an effort to squeeze a bit more from the apple of life?  What price the guilt which burdens your heart and mind, for you know we can never fully lock it away in a vacuum?  How good would it feel to lay down your arms, trusting in God to relieve your burden?  What prize is so valuable that it would be even minutely worth the loss of God’s blessings or sustained reward?  Can you let go and if not will you lay down your pride for a moment knowing that you truly need some help to break free?  You have never been alone.  There truly are people, opportunities and paths to take that safely lead away from danger, directly to His waiting arms of peace, security and hope.  Do you have the courage to embrace a destiny which has no comparison to those satisfactions available in worldly pursuits?  You were fearfully and wonderfully made for a specific and unique purpose to the fulfillment of God’s Supreme Glory.  A pursuit that will bring you “complete” satisfaction absent in this vaporous existence.

I do not wish to cry the long heard sobs of a man realizing that he missed his calling by choice.  When I look in to those eyes of Glory I want to see that I utilized every ounce of God given grace to reach for the stars.  That will be my reward, having lived a life without regret associated with missed opportunities whether by neglect, decision or inaction.  How do we reach the pinnacle of God’s intention for our lives.  That is our journey through study, prayer, relationship and trial, following Christ down the path of fulfillment.  Where will yours lead?  I do not know but I am certain it will be exciting, rewarding, difficult and yes, entirely worth the effort, investment and work.  Praise God for the purpose He designed specifically for you.  That simple concept continues to amaze, that He would craft each of us, with our unique fingerprints, gifts, DNA and attitudes to fulfill some particular aspect of His plan for humanity.  Oh what a wondrous God that we serve.  In the Name of Jesus, the Lord.
