We can all, at times, have dreams of grandeur. What if I were rich and famous? What if I had great power in this world? What if I were the Pope or the President? But what we can be certain of is that God does have great things in mind for us. He calls us to a greatness we could never imagine. One problem that often arises is that, when we begin to sense what God wants of us, we run away and hide. God’s Divine Will often calls us out of our comfort zone and requires great trust of Him and abandonment to His Holy Will.
“When I became aware of God’s great plans for me, I was frightened at their greatness and felt myself quite incapable of fulfilling them, …..You cannot do anything of yourself, but with me you can do all things.” Divine Mercy in My Soul # 429
Are you open to what God wants of you? Are you willing to do whatever He asks? Often times we wait for Him to ask, then think about His request, and then become filled with fear over that request. But the key to fulfilling the Will of God is to say “Yes” to Him even before He asks anything of us. Surrendering to God, in a perpetual state of obedience, will free us from the fear we can be tempted with when overanalyzing the details of His glorious Will.
