Encouragement for New Believersਨਮੂਨਾ

To fulfill God’s will for your life, you need to handle what others want you to be. Your boss might want you to be more productive, your health club wants you to be fitter, and your credit card company wants you to be deeper in debt. It feels like everyone has their own agenda for you. If you spend your life trying to meet everyone’s expectations, you'll never find freedom.

Sometimes loving people means having to disappoint them. Trying to become the person others want you to be is a difficult way to live. Nobody can tell you exactly how to change, because only God knows. Even you can’t tell yourself how to change, because you didn’t make yourself. To truly love someone is to want to help them become their best self. And the only one who can do that perfectly is God.

Unlike people, God has no hidden agenda. He knows what the best version of you looks like. He delights in the very idea of it and is already working towards bringing it to fruition in your life. The Bible says, "…In all things God works for the good of those who love Him…" (Romans 8:28 NIV) That means God is at work every moment to help you become His best version of you. And you’ll only be truly free when you make up your mind to be happy about being the person God made you to be—the one He’s working on every day.
