Boxless
New semester, last semester of undergrad. God has brought me to the last section of this chapter of my life. He has taught me and shaped into the person I am today. Something I value is all the lessons I have learned whether they be academic, relational or spiritual. But my focus is on the spiritual and what God has shown me in my life as of recently.
*Get ready for my quick transition.*
Do not put God inside a box. It will hurt you and keep you from growing in your walk with him. This happened to me. I liked a guy because of his love and passion for the Lord. I tried to find a compromise because of our differing theologies. He holds to one perspective while I stick to another. I thought if I could compromise enough he would want to move past just friends. It did not solve any issues for him or me. I finally came to a breaking point of conviction, and so I asked him cold turkey what he thought of us. His response saddened me, but I also came to realize I allowed one person to influence what I believed about God. I could not compromise what I know to be true of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
I tied God's hands from doing His perfect will in my life. I came to a moment of reconciliation. I had put God in a box telling him he can't work in one way or another. It's fully trusting Him to be God and letting him have control rather than me. If God chooses to speak through visions or dreams, let Him speak. If God desires to heal a person, let that person be healed in Jesus name. We often forget who God is and what He is capable of. Look at all the events of the Old Testament and how they line up with the New Testament in the light of Jesus Christ coming to this earth. The same yesterday, today, and forever.
Take a listen to this song by Will Reagan and United Pursuit. This song brought me to reconciliation to the Lord because of the God I made him.
