Why is it so hard to say yes to God?
The natural Pearl is the most beautiful gemstone in the world. Created in secret and shaped by nature, it begins as an irritant, but emerges as an object of beauty. When we submit to God willingly, all the beauty that He has placed in us will emerge. I blog about my continuous journey to live as God intended, a life of freedom and joy. Learn from my mistakes and be blessed by my victories. I see myself as a Pearl, continually formed by God and emerging for His glory.

Seek God First
I once heard an Elder say that we give people too much access to ourselves. Instead of seeking the Lord about our deepest concerns or issues, we seek man. In other words, we put man in the place of God. When we reveal our deepest fears, doubts, etc., we are giving man control over us. Their response to our issues may cause us to stumble and fall out of the will of God. People may mean well in their response, however, they don’t know you like God knows you.
Am I saying that we should never confide in anyone? No, but always check with your heavenly Father. If their input doesn’t line up with the word of God or what God has spoken to you, go with God.
PUT GOD IN HIS RIGHTFUL POSTION - #1
