There’s nothing wrong with going after what you want. But some things aren’t meant for us to chase.
If you chase God, the blessings will chase you.
Matthew 6:33 (KJV) – but seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

Stop trying to find a way around the storms in your life. Let God be your anchor.
We do our best trying to please God. But, we don’t realize we can never please God in the flesh. The flesh is weak and sinful.
The enemy will trick our mind to tell us to don’t do anything, when in fact something should be done. Or do something, when nothing needs to be done.
We can control how we go through the storms in our lives. We can let the storms be a slight rain drizzle, or we can let them turn into a tsunami.
Is it worth it to stand by someone other than yourself? Fight for someone other than yourself? Actually, carry someone else’s burdens?
Everyone is not meant to like you. Nor is everyone you meet, meant to move forward with you, in your life. Some are simply there, to make you totally uncomfortable, to push you forward.
No one can steal your joy from you. It is you who have allowed to give it up.
Why do we try to mix things, that are not meant to happen?
