Is chasing your dream worth the sacrifices you have to make to achieve your goal? What compromises will you make to get there? Who will you be when you achieve your goal? Will your goal make you who you want to be? Or will chasing your goal change who you are?
When we chase our own goals, we often make compromises or sacrifice our integrity to take shortcuts to achieve it. Many times when we achieve that goal we may lose who we wanted to be by achieving that very goal.
When we let go of our goals and trust God. He surprises us with something beyond what we thought possible.
Every time I have tried to make my own goals or success it has not turned out as I have planned. The result of my goal has been less satisfactory then I had hoped for or I compromised who I was to achieve that goal. Nevertheless it has never left me feeling satisfied.
But when I follow God’s leading and look to the interest of others, I have never been disappointed.
It’s easy to get caught up in ourselves. But so much more rewarding to serve and achieve the goals that God has laid on our hearts. Seek Jesus and what he has laid on your heart. But follow his plan, method and timing. If He places something in you He will provide all you need.
