We must carry His cross daily and if we don't we cannot be called his disciple. (Luke 14:27)
We must be doers of His word and not hearers. If we love the Lord, we must give Him total control of our lives. God wants the best for us, however we want what WE want so therefore we settle for second best. We shouldn't second guess Him; we just need to let GOD BE GOD because when we have Him we have everything. When we come to know God through experience, we will understand His love and know that what He commands is not burdensome. In loving God, we have no problem obeying His commands. "This is love for God; to obey his commands. And his command are not burdensome."
1 John 5:3
Whoever has my commands and obeys them, he is the one who loves me. He who loves me is loved by my father, and I too will love him and show myself to him. John 14:21
So believers and unbelievers remember this:
God gives His best to those Who leave the choice To Him. Furthermore, Trust in the Lord, and do good; Dwell in the land, and feed on His faithfulness. Delight yourself also in the Lord. And he shall give you the desires of your heart. Ps 37:3-4
A challenge: Ask yourself do I truly love and trust God? What adjustment do I need to make in my life?
