We don't have to climb up to His standard, be good enough, or measure up. God meets us where we are and empowers us to do whatever He asks of us. He doesn't need our fancy plans, inventions, or schemes. All He's waiting on is a willing heart.

God has provided His Book of Love, His Holy Word, our personal "How To" Book ... Master's Tools for every situation. Once we realize God never gave rules to lord over us, but as an inheritance to His children to help us find path to peace and victory, we become eager to seek Him more. Believing God is a choice that requires action. In recognizing its' benefits, it becomes our way of life. Satan can't defeat it.

When lessons have been learned and our freedom in Christ won (death not making us doubt out calling) - if door remains closed, do not despair.

1.)Sometimes, God asks us to wait. He has other hearts to prepare.

2.)He may be asking us to rest (He. 4:8, 10), giving those who didn't believe another chance to receive. In which case, we'll "know" if Jesus has already told us something still will happen.

3.)God will not step over heart of man to accomplish His purpose. Once man says "NO" to God, He moves on ... taking you with Him. Shake dust off your feet, keep marching forward, and don't look back.

Just don't act until you "know" God's will. Sometimes, He offers plan "B" (Is. 49:22-23).
