Frankly, On Faith.

Isn’t it great–I mean, soul-soothing, flower-smelling, song-singing greatto know that God has so much planned for your life? We start life with our own designs, our blueprints, if you will, and He comes along as the professional and lets us know what will work and what won’t.

And here’s the thing. He’s right. Because He can see the whole neighborhood we’re trying to get into. He knows the structure, the elements, how close it is to the convenience store, and which stores we shouldn’t be close to.

Yeah. That’s our designer, God.

We want our spiritual home on earth to be everything He needs it to be for us. But it won’t stay the same. There will be renovations. Heck, maybe even a move or two. If you’re a nomad, maybe God will ask you to show up in the park but not stay too long.

“For everything there is a season,
a time for every activity under heaven.”
~Ecclesiastes 3:1 NLT

I like to capture this verse when I’m overwhelmed, or worse, feel trapped. I know things will change. That knowledge causes me to recognize the everyday glories, and exhale the momentary dissatisfactions.

Life itself is fleeting, and we never know when God’s plans for us will shift.

We should always leave the porch light on and let Him enter at will. He doesn’t care about the mess. He cares about the people living in it.

Give Him the chance to redecorate your life, and give Him your ear when He tells you when it’s time to fix the cracks in the pavement.
