Listen to God on Your Journey

“But Jesus sees us as we are. He knows everything about us, and he still wants us. He is not looking for the perfect, thank heavens. He wants to receive us with mercy. All we need to do is turn toward him.” Greg Erlandson

God does not except you to be perfect, and the communities that you are discerning with are not perfect either. They are made up of humans who make mistakes and are trying to live their best lives seeking God. Give yourself grace; give the communities grace. God knows all, and like the quote above says, He still wants us. God’s unconditional love and wisdom help us on this journey. Remember that you are not alone. Trusting in God will help you along the uncomfortable journey of ups, downs, curves, and straight paths. God knows the right place and time for you and will guide you, showing you which direction to take like a GPS. Sometimes we have to be silent and listen to what God is telling us.
