If You Only Knew

 We all go through disappointments in life and things we don't understand. Sometimes we make mistake and bring trouble to ourselves, it's easy to get discouraged and lose our passion but God won't allow anything to happen that will keep you from your destiny.

He has already taken into account every bad break, every person that walked away, every mistake. 

What we can't see is how his working behind the scenes. Sometimes he has to close a door so he can open a bigger door.

God will move a person out of your life because they are limiting your growth. What looks like a disappointment is really the hand of God ordering your steps, it doesn't make sense now but down the road you'll see how if that door hadn't had closed, you wouldn't have met that person that introduced you to a friend that had an opportunity that took you to a new level.

If you only knew what God was up to you wouldn't live upset. If you only knew how his going to connect the dots in your life, how all things are going to work for you for the good you'd get your passion back.

Maybe you went through a loss, you're discouraged thinking you've seen your best days, I know that's difficult but if you only knew God has beauty for those ashes. If you only knew the new doors that are going to open, the new friendships that are coming, if you only knew that your later days will be better than your former days. 

Looks like the end but really, it's a new beginning.

The best part of your life is still Infront of you. Perhaps you've made mistakes and you not where you thought you'd be in life. You've accepted that you can't reach your dreams, you can't see Gods' favor. 

That didn't stop your destiny, God knew every mistake you would make. Every failure. His already lined up restoration, another chance.

When God told Jonah to go to the city of Nineveh, Jonah went the other way, exactly opposite of what he knew he was supposed to do. God didn't say "I'm done with you Jonah, see if I'll ever help you" a couple days later Jonah was thrown overboard, in the middle of the sea in this huge storm.

You would think God would say ''see Jonah, I told you what to do, now you in trouble, you on your own" God had a big fish already waiting in place, a whale waiting to rescue him. Swallowed him up carried him to the shore. 3 days later, spat him up on dry ground.

You may be off course, thinking you've missed your destiny if you only knew what great lengths God is going to go to get you back on course. If you only knew there are whales waiting for you, to rescue you, to protect you, to bring you back into your purpose. 

You can't outrun the mercy of God, He can't get too far away, to far down.

You may have gone your own way, done things that were not the best, you think that God wouldn't want anything to do with you, but like Jonah you can still become who you were created to be. 

Don't sit around condemned, listening to the accuser, reminding yourself of everything you've done wrong. If you only knew, what God was going to do, how His not just going to restore you, not just bring you out and sit you on the side lines, His going to put you back into purpose. 

Gods calling is still on your life. The assignments He has for you didn't get cancelled because you took a detour. His still going to honor you. You still going to see dreams come to pass. You still going to have a healthy family. If you only knew what God was doing behind the scenes, how His working out his plans for your life. What God started his going to finish.

If you only knew then you would trust Him, you would live from a place of peace, a place of faith. You wouldn't fight all the things you don't like, the disappointments, the delays, the betrayals. They had to happen. They apart of His plan. 

You couldn't step into the fulness of your destiny without them.
