But It Hurts....

Have you ever had God ask you to do something? OK, have you ever had Him ask you to do something that hurt? Not physically. But where it was a true sacrifice. Well, this past week God asked me to do something that hurt. I did not want to do it. But when God speaks quietly to my heart and says "I want you to do this", I listen. He asked me to give up something that was "mine". Well, I shouldn't have been thinking about it as mine. because all we have is God's. But I have things that I think are mine. You better not touch them or ask me to share.



I tried to forget about it. But then one night I shared with John what God was calling me to do. He didn't laugh or push me to do it, he just listened to me ramble. Kind of like I am now. I realized that God owns all I have. It's not mine to begin with. I am selfish with my stuff. What God has reminded me this week is that it was never mine to begin with. Knowing this didn't really make it any easier to let go of something that was mine, but I'm working on it. But knowing that I've done what God asked me to do gives me peace.
