In my largely uncommented on post, “Walking Man”, I wrote about a conversation I had with a pastor friend of mine who was relatively annoyed with my theological idea that God doesn’t care where you drop dead, I asked a question that I’ve been asking for five years now. . .
another place and still be in God’s perfect will?
He was preaching about dreaming, and pursuing God’s purpose for your life, and part of that included examining where we get our dreams. (I’m going to butcher this, but I need to get to bed, so I can be fully aware and awake for the job tomorrow) My pastor said that people tend to ignore their dreams because they fear that they’re not God’s will. How sad is that? Why would the God who loves us enough to torture His only Son and hang Him on a cross, just to get us back into relationship with Him want to torment us by making us do things that we don’t like? That’s kinda like a man who pays a huge dowry for his wife that takes a lot of scrimping and saving to get to, then he just beats her or something, even though she apparently was worth so much to him. On a side note, I called a friend of mine O.C. for a while, because the last time she went to Kenya, someone offered one cow to her father, so she could marry his son. She was offended that she wasn’t worth more than that. . . needless to say, I called her the good ol’ one cow for a while.
Anyways, I’ll get to the point that hit me, and that I won’t forget. My pastor quoted Matthew 7:14 which says,
and there are few who find it”
Anyways, once you’re past city limits, and you’re in the Kingdom of God, you’re no longer limited to that one road (salvation) you have room to move around and dream! You have options! Bless God, because if there was only one woman for me to marry out of the six and a half billion on this planet, I’m probably too stupid to find her!!! I would like to think that there’s probably a few thousand options that God thinks would really work!
