CaptivatingCuriosity

I Believe

I believe in being transparent. I believe in being the only thing I can be - me. I believe in knowledge, wisdom, understanding, and their pursuit. I believe in sharing these quests with others and do so very openly and honestly. Through my love for transparency, my quest for wisdom, and my desire to understand God, His Son, His Spirit, and the world around me, I hope to open my thoughts to others so that they may be challenged to grow too. I will always be Captivating Curiosity.

I Can Do Nothing Without Him

The Lord is seeking to bring us to the end of our abilities so we can tap into His ability.-Bobby Connor

These words hit me hard. How are they ever so true!!! John 15:5 says, "...without Me you can do nothing." Sure, I can do whatever I want. But does that mean it is what I am supposed to be doing? Or is it even what my Creator wants me to do?

I've come to an understanding that has helped me surrender to God.

If God is my creator, then most surely he knows what is best for me AND what I was made for!! Who am I to determine what that purpose is? I am not my creator. Only my creator can give me purpose.
Sure, I can try to figure it out on my own and give myself my own purpose but what if i am wrong? What if I chose a purpose for me that is not what I would be best at? What if I give myself a purpose that is less than what I am made for? Most surely then I have failed. I don't want to fail. After all, this is the only life I have. The only chance I have to live the purpose I was created for.

That's it. I can't figure it out without Him. Nor can I DO it without Him.

Dear Lord,
I need you. I can do nothing worthwhile, I can not be who I was created to be without You. Take me and mold me. Make me into who you created to me to be. I surrender. Amen.
