subject: Missing Our Calling: Is There a Reason for Everything? [print this page] To connect these two thoughts, the debate over things happening for a reason verses missing our calling and my special friend, I've been asking myself things like, what happens if we don't work it out? What if we walk our walk and one of us falls and our paths never cross again?' Does that mean my spiritual feeling that the love of my life will be gone forever?? I have no control over his walk, nor do I want it, but what if he takes a different turn in his walk? Enter one sentence my pastor said today, "No one can stop the plan of God." This almost seemed out of place for the sermon he was preaching and I had a feeling that this one sentence was meant for me. It made my unsettling very clear. Everything happens for a reason because there is always a lesson to be learned from it. Each valley, each mountain gives way to God's plan. And, when we miss our calling, we have another. He never gives up on us. We are tested repeatedly until He deems that we are ready. Some things happen because we missed our calling and He needs to redirect our paths. How does this go with my fear about my special friend? Well, I think he's the one, and maybe God does too, but if he doesn't follow God's willthenwell, I think He will pick another who is suitable for me. I just have to stay on my walk. Submit my will to God. My special friend will always be my special friend. He will always hold a special place in my heart, but I can't worry or even think about his walk. I can only concentrate on mine. I have to heed my calling so that I am the direct beneficiary of God's will for me. He will supply. I pray for my friend. And I hope, for love "always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres." 1 Corinthians 13:7
