It’s amazing how misunderstood God is in our world today. And if we have a fundamental misunderstanding of who God is and what God wants for us it becomes impossible to thrive as a human being.
So, let’s set aside some of the common misunderstandings about God. God doesn’t want to control you, stifle you, manipulate you, or force you to do anything you don’t want to do. Quite the opposite, in fact. God will let you do whatever you want to do, whenever you want to do it, with whomever you want, and as often as you want. When was the last time God stopped you from doing anything?
But if we can find the courage within our sometimes-timid hearts to turn to God and ask, “God, what is your dream for me? What is your vision for my life?” God will whisper in reply, “Become the-best-version-of-yourself.”
Our essential purpose is to become the-best-version-of-ourselves.
