Sometimes I feel like I know what's best. When planning for a gathering or church event, I sometimes feel like my ideas are bulletproof. Even since I was really young I have been relatively independent. I figured out what classes I needed to take, how to get to the college I wanted to go to, how to get to the car I wanted, where I wanted to work, and what I wanted to achieve in life. Thinking back, was it really me? If it wasn't for God would I be where I am now? Even when Jesus was going through all the sufferings He gave glory to God yet I'm giving myself credit for the minor achievements in my life. Being able to let go of what I've planned and go with what God wants is not easy at all. When Jesus revealed to his disciples his betrayal, everyone said that they wouldn't. Peter said that he would never betray Jesus but in the end he did. I'm sure it wasn't easy for Jesus to have to endure all the physical and verbal abuses yet He was willing because it was God's plan.
Ever since I've become addicted to God's words it's becoming easier for me to know God's heart. He makes it perfectly clear and always guides me in the direction I should go. Giving up my own plans for His plans has made me 10x happier. I'm thankful that He's given me his word and the people around me to constantly remind me to depend on him. Jesus told his disciples to pray to keep away from temptation because "The spirit is willing but the flesh is weak". I've learned that God's plan is the most perfect and I see all the beautiful things he's doing around me. He's equipped me with all the tools I need to live the wonderful life He's given me.
