Connecting with God can help break the invisible chains of societal expectations and lead you towards a fulfilling life full of joy, meaning, and purpose.
“All these blessings will come on you and accompany you if you obey the Lord your God:”
Deuteronomy 28:2 NIV
Have you ever felt trapped, like a prisoner of your own life? You’re stuck in a direction you don’t want to go, and no matter how hard you try to break free, you’re held back by invisible chains. It’s a feeling of frustration and despair that can consume you, leaving you feeling lost and hopeless.
We’ve all been told that we need to work hard and do our best, even when we don’t feel like it. We’re told that success is measured by our accomplishments, our possessions, and our social status. But in the midst of all this pressure and expectation, we forget about the things that truly matter.
That’s where God comes in. When you have a connection with God, it’s like a beacon of light in the darkness. Suddenly, you start to see things more clearly. You start to listen to your heart and figure out what truly makes you happy. You begin to understand your true mission in life, and what you’re really meant to do.
At first, it can feel like you’re walking in a direction you don’t know, stumbling in the darkness without a clear path ahead. But the more you listen and follow God’s guidance, the more sensitive and sharp your senses become. You start to see more clearly, and you realize that the direction you’re headed is the right one.
And when you’re doing what you’re meant to do, it’s like a fire inside of you that can’t be quenched. You feel excited and energized, even when things get tough. You don’t want to quit, because you know that you’re on the right path.
Society might try to put you in a box, to force you to conform to their expectations and standards. But if you follow God’s mission for you, you’ll break free from those chains. You’ll find your true self, the person that God created you to be. And in that discovery, you’ll find a life that’s full of joy, meaning, and purpose. So don’t be afraid to take that first step and start walking in the direction that God has for you! 4/30/23 #42
