You are the Will of God

February 5, 2011 by MarthaLemke

For a lot of my life, some of my daily interactions with God would be:

“What do you want me to do?”

“Where do you want me to go?”

“What is your will for me?”

“Just tell me what to do and I will do it.”

“I just need to hear you tell me what to do.”

I thought those were the questions I needed to ask and the things I needed to say. I so desperately wanted to be IN the will of God. But when you ask and ask and don’t hear a clear answer, well I found myself just sitting around.

While those are all legitimate, good questions to ask, I have been grasping a new level of freedom within it all.

I AM the will of God.

When I heard those words, the weights fell off. Relief set in. I experienced a freedom and a creativity that I wasn’t really walking in before.

So now, as I seek the direction God wants me to take, I know ultimately that I am the will of God, and while He very well might tell me where to go and what to do before I step, if I don’t hear Him before it’s time to move, I know I can make a decision, go somewhere with pure motives and a pure heart, knowing I can’t make a mistake. I trust that I am in tuned to the Holy Spirit, that I will hear Him whisper guiding my path along the way.

So rest and BE, know that you ARE the will of God. Trust that you will hear Him along your journey. He will nudge you a little left or a little right. But relax, You are the Will of God!!
