To be right with God, is to often be in trouble with men.
God has set before you a path: built for you, designed by His hand and filled with His purposes for your life. One of the biggest misconceptions is that you should be popular and conforming for His namesake- that you will never have to face adversity within your own household or closest friends when it comes to taking a stand for Him. As a matter of fact, I believe there is no way around this specific type of the sharing in His sufferings. If we pray to be more like Him, as we should, we will experience the constant barrage of men trying to get us to bow to their wills out of ignorance to the plan of God for ourselves. Let no person constrain you to their will, as many love to do. For their purposes are their own and not God's.
This walk with the Lord can be a lonely road, at times. That is the way of the Lord and that is what He is searching for- Hearts that are truly His. But remember, when you are His, you are never alone. Let Him steal you away and teach you some things that are only learned at His feet. Great reward awaits those who walk away from the fortunate life of acceptance to sacrifice their name for His.
Let's pray:
God, thank You for leading and guiding me on Your path. Don't let me lose sight of your voice and your direction for me. I want to do Your will and bring You glory. Help me to serve You above all.
In Your Name, Amen.
