The Cost of Saying Yes

Obedience can sometimes cost you comfort, relationships, or reputation. But it never costs God’s presence.

When I was deciding who to marry, I thought I had found the right person, but God said that she's not my wife. I struggled because it didn't make sense. Later, God revealed my true wife, someone I didn't “feel” in love with at first. Yet, by obeying, I found peace, purpose, and partnership that have lasted for years.

Obedience may not feel romantic, logical, or easy, but it carries grace. In the end, what God chooses for you will always outlast what you choose for yourself.

Maybe God is calling you to surrender something. It could be a dream, a relationship, or a plan. Remember, His “no” is not rejection; it's redirection toward what truly fits your destiny.
