I have heard people using this phrase- 'If it is God's will' in everything they say. Sometimes, I wonder, do they actually mean it when they say. If only what God thinks happen, then what is this 'free will' mean. How can this free will of humans coincide with God's will?!
We are given right to choose a dress of our choice when we go to a boutique. We are allowed to order a food of our choice when we go to a restaurant. These little things of the world, has nothing to do with God's will but still nothing is hidden from Him and He knows everything we do and He knows our thoughts too.
We are called for an eternal life. This life is not permanent.
As for man, his days are like grass; as a flower of the field, so he flourishes.
For the wind passes over it, and it is gone, and its place remembers it no more.
(Psalm 103: 15,16).
But what we do for Christ will last forever. We were made by God and for God and until we understand that, life will never make sense. If we know God exists, then we ought to show it with our lives. The reason why God took that cross is that He wanted everybody (yea, everybody!) to experience and understand His love for mankind. His love lasts forever.
For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten son that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. (John 3:16).
I am sure, if you get to know what Jesus has really delivered you from and the eternal life that He has promised, you will not be able to sit idle without doing something for Him. Life isn't about finding yourself. Life is about knowing your Creator.
Sometimes you have to let go of your dreams and desires to follow Jesus. But He promises to give the best in all your needs. I remember a song that i used to love and sing when i was a kid. But it has taken these many years to understand the words and to live accordingly.
This little light of mine
I m gonna let it shine!
Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine!
Yes! We are the light of the world. Let us not hide the love of Christ in us. Christianity is all about sharing. Let us not cheat ourselves by saying 'God's will' and not living as we say. Saying and doing are never the same!! It is easier to preach than to live.

And donot be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God. (Romans 12:2)
Let our hearts be fully yeilded to God. Let us use every oppurtunity that is given to share the gospel. Let our lives reflect Christ - in our words, in our deeds, in our thoughts and in everthing we do.
My dear child of God, let this question trouble you - "Did i do my best to live for Jesus?!".He took the nails for you and me!
~Blessed Christian.
