Would God give you a plan for your life that you hate ?

Hi,

Formulating differently, so they say God has a specific plan for each christian, thing is would God ever give a plan that the christian hate ?
For example:
make you become missonary but you hate it ?
make you become a pastor but you hate it ?

I don't think so ? are we sure this won't happen ?

God isn't responsible for our sins or mistakes because He works through them for our collective good. Joni Eareckson Tada comes to mind. He didn't tell her to jump in the water. She did it on her own and the result was horrendous. But He worked through the situation and brought something good out of it. She's largely responsible for public awareness and laws benefitting disabled persons in America. She was their champion.

I see similar things with myself. An illness derailed my work towards a career in medicine. It seemed hopeless but the Lord had a ram in the bush and nurtured other interests. I would have never worked in finance, discovered my business acumen, developed my skills as a mini Martha Stewart or pursued additional training.

I wouldn't remember my delight for dolls and dollhouses and mini treats in my easy baking oven. I'd forget my love of writing, public speaking and performing on stage. And the hours spent watching cooking, travel, decorating and home improvement shows. My love for medicine was great but the rest was always there. I didn't see it.

But I've had an opportunity to connect the dots as I've pondered the reason for my presence. I asked the Lord, why am I here? Everything He does is purposeful and we're no different. Some conduct their lives with that in mind and others don't. He answered the question and led me on a road I never imagined I'd take.

It's the most fulfilling thing I've done outside of motherhood. I'm walking with Him and fulfilling His mission for me. I'm content because it's my nature to be contented and it's an integral part of our spiritual growth. Some people are otherwise. They're always questioning and wrestling. They have a hard time trusting God and struggle to be still. Their mind is never at rest. It always wants more and contentment evades them.

Your mind is not a gear. It's not supposed to be churning constantly. You need spaces in your day and thoughts for whispers. Most of the questions on this site are the result of noise. They can't hear from God because they can't be quiet. When stillness comes answers follow. He's always talking.

A lot of people don't like to be not busy, or won't practice being in the stillness, or staying quiet, etc, because then their mind starts to become active in all of the ways that it was always meant to be active, and they don't like it, etc, so they'd much rather try to always stay busy, or keep themselves occupied, etc.

God Bless.

If you want more of God you'll do what it takes to obtain it. If you're married to your habits they'll have precedence. But either way you choose and the effects of that choice are yours to bear. You can't complain when they're not to your liking. Because you chose.

Cause and effect. A simple principle with life altering results.

Excuses don't nullify consequences or make them palatable. We still have to live with them. When you grow tired of being on the wrong side of your decisions you change course. If you don't you keep looking for scapegoats.

And as far as my life goes @bèlla, if God never did choose to override my choices, then I'd be totally "fill in the blank" right about now, etc. But as it stands right now, and because God did do that both in the past for me, and right now for me, etc, my life has turned out perfect for me, or is just exactly everything I required/wanted/ever needed, etc, though I never even knew it, etc, and I'm extremely, extremely eternally grateful and thankful to God for it, etc.

And also chose for me to be one of the ones that is saved for Heaven to boot!, etc. And that is all just all the icing on the cake of all that He has already chosen/will continue to choose for me!, etc.

I'll never run out of gratitude or thankfulness, etc.

And just that and that alone, that extreme gratitude and thankfulness, etc, has forever changed/altered me and my life, 100% completely, etc.

I'm very, very glad it was never ever up to me, etc.

Now I just want to try and do my best to show others the same kind of love that I now already fully know He has for me, etc, and I'm about to make that my primary mission in my life for the rest of my life now if I can, etc.

God Bless.
