If you could design your perfect life, what would you draw up? If you were just given a blank slate, what would you create? When you look at your life today, is it all you ever hoped for? These are great question to ask, because I think it really shows what you value and what's important to you. And these questions are telling about our relationship with our Heavenly Father.
Here is what I am learning - when you are right in the center of where God wants you, then there is no better design for your life. It is just that simple. Ten years ago, if God would have given me a blank canvas to draw up the next decade of my life, I have no idea what I would have created. I don't really know what I would have designed. Here is what I do know...there is no way it would be as great as what I have today. Maybe I would have included more money, or more toys, or more vacations (or vacation homes), but there is just no way that my design would be better than God's design.
I think this is a great recognition for each of us. We need to seek God first and fall under this direction to ensure our life is being lived with THE best design. And the best design is not always the easiest, wealthiest, or most fun design. But it is always the best.
So what is God calling you to do? What is the life-design God has planted in your heart? Are you living it? Maybe this is too simple, but I believe that when we are following God's direction and have absolute trust in Him, our life can be all it was ever intended to be. I think its that simple.
