Give it to God

In this week God teach me to give several things to Him one by one (my hope for something, my wish for something, and also my burden of something). On the day that God ask me to give something that I put my energy and my thought on for years (since I believe that was God’s purpose), God remind me to the story of Abraham offering Isaac (Gen 22) and also some stories about making an altar. Isaac was someone that Abraham put his heart on for years. Isaac was also the means for Abraham in fulfilling God’s purpose (Gen 12:2, Gen 17:1-8). In addition, Abraham loves Isaac very much. By remembering these stories and the trust on God’s voice in my heart, I gave what God ask for (without even asking why). Suddenly I feel that my burden was lessened and I am able longing for God more. Today I still work on what I believe is God’s purpose. But, I realize that the reason of God helping me to be able to offer is to make me able to focus, longing, and love Him more. By having more of Him in my life, I also will have more energy to work on what I believe is God’s purpose.
