I often think in 'if only's.' The biggest one: If only I had a better singing voice I would be content..
If only. If only.
I need to radically change this in my life. And I think I know the problem. I don't trust God's great plan enough. Nowhere near enough. If I trusted God's plan it would be 'only if.' Like the 'Lord's Prayer' says, not my will but yours. Do you know how radical that is? To cast everything onto God's will and know that his will is perfect, and so I need to trust it? Its crazy.
I think I need to change If only's. to Only if's. Only if it's God's will will I get a better voice. Only if it's God's plan.
I need to FULLY rely on God's plan for my life. I need to learn to be content with what I've got. With what God has so graciously given me. And if the only thing I feel I can cling onto to be content with is my faith, then thats totally fine. Because that's God's greatest gift; the fact that he would choose out a sinner to be his servant. And I'm not just his servant. I'm his son.
Gone from being a sinner, to a servant, to a son who he rejoices over. I should be content with that.
