"Therefore I will block her path with thornbushes; I will wall her in so that she cannot find her way. She will chase after her lovers but not catch them; she will look for them but not find them....Therefore I am now going to allure her; I will lead her into the desert and speak tenderly to her. (Hos. 2:6-7&14)
This verse has spoken to me, It speaks of how much the Lord is willing to wait for us, to allure us, to get us alone, away from all the distractions and busyness of life, away from all the things that are taking up our time but shouldn't be and all the while he just waits, waits for us to become the people we were meant to be, the very purpose we are walking this earth, and the very things we need to fulfill that only we can.
This verse is true for life as well, it seems we take many detours along the way and all along we were meant to be doing something else with our time. Do you ever feel like your not really fulfilling what you were suppose to be? Like all the desires of your heart, all the dreams and miss-accomplished destinies are just lost. What in the world are we doing here, why have we let ourselves become so comfortable, when did we stop being the person we were meant to be and started being the person we never wanted to be. It is a sad thing that probably 75-90% of people do.
We are just wondering around and all the while destiny is trying to block our paths that it knows we shouldn't take or build a wall to prevent us from going down a road that wasn't meant for us, but sometimes we are so stubborn or are lacking in what we are suppose to be doing that we grab our broom and our ax and plow right through that blocked off path and that built wall, we end up spending more time and working harder trying to become something we only think we want. If we would just stand still for one moment and reevaluate our entire being, I think we would find the right direction, but unfortunately a lot of people are too busy doing the wrong things for their lives, that they forget to do the right things for their lives.
How about we don't become those 75-90% of people and we change that statistic to a lot less. Your life starts with you and only YOU can finish it. So lets pick up the slack and start thinking about the things that make you happy, that bring you joy, that make others happy, that help people, find out where your passions lie and then LIE THERE WITH THEM! I can do this, we can do this, so lets do this! I will bid you all a farewell and goodnight till tomorrow!
Warm Regards,

Great article, not the verse I was expecting to read but it is powerful when you consider it. I know that when we allow him to, God will lead and guide us to those places that allow us to become who he has created us to be all along. It's never a path that we would have "planned" with our own mind, but when we allow him to guide us he will lovingly draw us to the places where we can find life to the fullest in him. It's great that our part is so simple-just allowing him to draw us and leaning on him to show us the way.
