Diligence is perseverance in carrying out action and Obstinacy is the quality or state of being stubbornly unyielding.
If the goal is to serve the Lord and do His will than that would mean I should have diligence to carry out the passion He has placed in my heart. If I am being obstinate and not in God’s will than I am not being an obedient servant. One’s heart always speaks to one’s mind; however both can provide the incorrect information. The mind if not focused on Christ can play tricks on you and the heart if strictly following feelings or emotions can be mistaken.
The enemy is very capable of distorting the truth whether it is in our hearts or our minds. We serve one true and holy God who desires to be close to us, who wants to direct our paths in the way we should go. If we trust in Him completely and have faith even as small as mustard seed the Lord will provide and He will lead us. Do not be held captive by man’s way remain focused on the Lord and His ways will direct you every day.
We do not have to have the answers we should just be at peace with the questions!
About Me
- Allyson
- I was born and raised in sunny Cleveland, Ohio. After a year of prayer I took a leap of faith and relocated to Asheville, North Carolina. I always felt Asheville was a stepping stone for me. It was God preparing me to be away from my family for an extended period of time. Knowing I have had a desire to work with orphans for several years and coming to accept Jesus as my Savior has led me to where I am now. In the spring of 2006 I committed to God “here am I send me”! I received advice from my pastors and began to prayerfully seek God’s will for the desire to work with orphans. Now in complete surrender to God, I find myself in Kiev, Ukraine working with children of all ages, focusing on orphans.
