Jesus take the wheel....
Everyone has dreams and desires. For instance, one of my dreams is to someday own my own Christian dance studio and show others how they can worship God through dance. Another dream of mine is to get married and be a mom. There are a bunch of things I have dreamed about and desired throughout life. There are a lot of little dreams and desires that I have had that I have seen become reality yet there are a lot that haven't. Dreams and desires also often change depending on where life is taking you.
It is good to have dreams and ambitions in life. However, how do we know if they are God's desires for us?
First of all, examine your heart. Think about what desires you have in life. Use a blank piece of paper and write them down. What kind of desires are they? Are they selfish desires?
Psalm 37:4 says: "Delight yourself in the LORD and He will give you the desires of your heart."
DELIGHT yourself in the LORD! Give him your heart and your life in a total surrender! Hold nothing back from God. When every part of your life is given up in surrender to God, our desires become God's desires. That's how God gives you the desires of your heart! We no longer are the authors of our own lives. Give your life and all of your desires to God and let him work his plan in your life. Let your number one desire be to have God's will done in your life. You will not be disappointed.
Remember that piece of paper that you wrote your dreams and desires on? Pick up that piece of paper and flip it over. The page is now blank! Instead of focusing on your own dreams and desires, give God your life and let him work and see what happens! It is great to have ambitions and dreams in your life; but instead of focusing on them and how you can make them happen, trust God to lead you where he wants you to go in life. It's not going to be easy, but isn't it reassuring that God has your life plan all worked out? By surrendering to God's plan and TRUSTING in it, everything will work out perfectly and exactly how God wants it to. Again, you will NOT be disappointed! Hand over the wheel of your life to God and watch God's beautiful plan unfold in your life!
