when i have told some people about how costa rica feels like home and my heart is still there they say i should just go and continue doing what i was doing when i was there.
knowing God gives meaning to life, and obeying God gives purpose to life. (odb)
God said "but only for 1 year" when i went to costa rica. i stayed longer. when i was staying longer than the 12 months i was not being obedient to God. i was not serving His purpose. i was not living for Him, i was living for myself. completely disobedient to what He had specifically told me.
there are other mission trips i want to go on but don't feel that God is calling me anywhere right now. if i went on a mission trip when i was not called by God would it be fruitful or would my plans be thwarted?
God blesses our obedience. why would anyone presume that He would bless our disobedience.
as christians we are not here for our own purpose at all - we are here for the purpose of God, and the two are not the same. we do not know what God's compelling purpose is, but whatever happens, we must maintain our relationship with Him. we must never allow anything to damage our relationshp with God, but if something does damage it, we must take the time to make it right again.
God's purpose is never the same as man's purpose. (mufhh)
thank God that Jesus Christ was not disobedient or where in hell would we all be.
