Romans 12:2 (King James Version)
2And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
Many of us want to do God’s will in our lives, yet we don’t know where to begin or how to begin even. It all started back in the early days when God created us in His own image. God’s will is for us to have a bond, relationship with Him through His Son Jesus Christ. You ask, how? Can I really go back? Will He forgive me? I know you are thinking, but you don’t know what I did. I reply, IT DOES NOT MATTER. JESUS loves you, you too can be transformed. It’s so simple; you just have to ask God for forgiveness with a heart that means it, accept His apology and let it go. See God forgives, but then He does something us humans can’t, He forgets…Yes He forgets, so when you go back later telling Him about the same thing, He don’t know what you are talking about, because He erased that from you. So come on everyone, let’s smile, love and forgive those that have caused us harm, and forget…I am sure if God can forgive you, you too can forgive those that hurt you.
The Bible says that God's will is “good, pleasing and perfect” (Romans 12:2). The bible will give you the knowledge and understanding to follow God, but you have to start by dusting it off and opening it. No matter where you begin, God is within every page. “If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him” (James 1:5).
See He even gives us His wisdom; it is there for the asking.
Many times the advice of a parent, pastor, grandmother, Sunday school teacher or other mature person is just what we need to hear to help us decide what God wants us to do. See God gives wisdom, so be wise, and listen to your elders. We seem to like to ask our grandparents about the wars of the past, but we fail to ask about the ancient battles and wars that took place in the bible days, see there have been wars from day one when Adam and eve ate from the apple. Did they listen, or use wisdom…no, they didn’t. But you don’t have to make that mistake.” The way of a fool seems right to him, but a wise man listens to advice” (Proverbs 12:15). “Plans fail for lack of counsel, but with many advisors they succeed” (Proverbs 15:22).
Remember that God's ultimate purpose for all of us is that He would be glorified (1 Corinthians 10:31) and that the gospel and God's kingdom would be advanced (Genesis 50:20 and Philippians 1:12). Us this knowledge today and seek to follow Him. Don’t wait till tomorrow, you may only have today. Take a minute and thank Him for loving you, for dieing on that cross for you, give him your past, your worries and most importantly your sins. Then, its time to forget them, and walk forward with Jesus as you find your way in His righteous plan that He has for you.
Bless each and every one of you as you take this eternal walk of faith, I hope to meet you on this journey as we seek our Father, and teach others His way.
