Making amends is often
something that we’d rather not do. There
is a scripture in the New Testament about taking up your cross. (Luke 9:23-24 is one example.) There is another scripture that talks about
taking up your cross and doing what you would rather not do (I can’t seem to
find it now.) I read this one day and
realized that my will and my life are not my true mission. If I am to do as Christ, I must do the
Father’s will. Some of the things
revealed to me about my true mission I can honestly say they are things I would
rather not do. It seems God is asking me
to do the very things which frighten me the most, and which will require me to
grow my faith in the very place it is the weakest. That day I came to the realization that to do
the Father’s will, I must do what I’d rather not do. He will eventually turn it for my benefit and
joy, but for now it appears to be a wall of fear. I have broken through this wall before and I
will do it again. I know He will lift me
to be able to do all that He has commanded me to do, in His way and in His
time.
