“BEWARE OF BECOMING TOO POPULAR”

That was a message I felt from God in an appointment with Him some months ago. I had asked Him how to get a bigger audience for my blogs and vlogs. Now I completely understand why: THIS STUFF IS EXTREMELY HARD TO DO!!! Writing the posts, making the videos: EASY. Living them: ENORMOUSLY DIFFICULT. And I’m the God maniac here! LOL!

CASE IN POINT:

God, You’re seriously stretching me here!!! He’s really testing this living in God’s Presence thing and being obedient to Him on a moment by moment basis, always seeking to do what is pleasing to Him. I want to turn into the crazy drama lady, and I feel Him saying, ‘No, Nik, let My will be done. Turn this situation over to Me!’

It was an early morning appointment with Him, where these words showed up: “Thy will be done.” Remember these words from Jesus as He was headed to be nailed to the cross, “Yet not My will, but Yours be done.” Super tough example to follow, right, but exactly where I feel God is leading me. That means surrendering the entire problem to Him and being obedient to whatever He decides. He asked through another meditation book:

“Do you love me enough for that? Oh, My beloved child, just think of all that I’ve done for you. Doesn’t that quicken your zeal? So be calm in your soul and happily docile (submissive) to My will. As you look back over your life, don’t you see that My will was always for your good? When it comes to Me, could anything be too much.” – He and I

God, now that You’ve put it that way, “I’ll do anything for You.” “Yet not My will, but Yours be done.”

Like I always say, everything is between God and us. It’s not about us getting what wewant from Him all the time, but following His leading and TRUSTING that whatever outcome, it’s from the hands of a loving Father who knows what’s best for us. Godknows what we don’t know. He knows the future and the best decision we should make in every moment of our lives. And just like that, I politely and calmly SURRENDERED the entire matter to Him. He knows best! Phew!

God has led my life on an extraordinary adventure. I ask myself sometimes, “How did this happen?!?’ I trust His direction completely. That meant no turning into the crazy lady this time, but being the calm, wise, loving, kind, loyal, gentle, disciplined, mature, and obedient to God Nik He would have me to be. Amen!
