BLOCKED GOALS AND DESIRES

 Keys to living successful in Christ is to distinguish  'Godly goals and desires ' from our own goals and desires.

A Godly Goal is any specific orientation that reflects what GOD's purpose is for your life. This
purpose does not depend on people or circumstances that
are beyond our ability or right to control. If you think about it , who do you really have a right to control? No one but yourself. The fact of the matter is this, the only person who can block a Godly Goal or render it uncertain or impossible is YOU.
What are our desires and goals? They are a specific orientation that depends on the cooperation of other people or the success of events and circumstances that is beyond our control. As a Child of the Living GOD we can not base our self-worth or our personal success on our desires, no matter how godly we think them to be, because we can not control all the people around us or any circumstances that might come our way that will affect the fullfillment of our desires.



There are many people and many circumstances that will block our goals, that is a given in this life. And when they get blocked , what usually happens is that we might get angry, and if our desires are uncertain we will might feel anxious.If our goals and desires appear to be impossible we might get depressed. But think about this: what GOD given goal can there be that can be blocked , uncertain or even be impossible? Does the Scriptures say that "With GOD ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE? Do the Scriptures say that "I CAN DO ALL THINGS THROUGH CHRIST WHO STRENGTHENS ME"?



No one can keep us from being who and what our GOD wants us to be except us. GOD distinguishes between what are GOALS and DESIRES. (1John 2:1) says :"My little children , I am writing these things to you that you may not sin." It is clear that GOD desires that we do not sin , but GOD's status as GOD and HIS purposes are never blocked by any of us who exercises our will against repentance. Even though it is GOD's desire and will that everyone repent even though many of us may choose not to. But praise be to the MOST HIGH that GOD accomplished HIS goal when Yah'shua/Jesus said "IT IS FINISHED" . What our GOD determined to do , HE has done, and will continue to do, and so since this is true, we all can be joyful and grateful that we will be all that HE created us to be!!!!!



Many of us I am sure have had our great plans, and our lofty goals and desires blocked by people, circumstances beyond our control. We didn't get our way at a certain meeting, we didn't get the grant we needed, or the loan to go to college. Face it many times we have had to readjust our plans for a variety of reasons. If we base who we are, if we base our life on the successes of our plans and desires which are all subject to people and circumstances beyond our control we will be on an emotional roller coaster ride all of our lives. But the key to all of this , the only way off the roller coaster is to walk by Faith according to the truth of GOD's WORD. Who we are , our identity must not be in our jobs, our skills, our talents, all subject to the uncontrollable circumstances of life, and the cooperation of others.



We must decide to become the person, the spouse, the parent, the leader, the friend, that GOD wants us to be. NO ONE CAN BLOCK THAT GOAL EXCEPT YOU, it is not dependant on any circumstance or other people.



Heavenly Parent, show me today where I have allowed others, and circumstances, instead of YOU, to determine what YOU want me to be.LORD show me YOUR purpose for my life, help me make them my goals as well.
