When God made you what was he thinking? The other day I was taking into account why God made me who I am. Have you ever wondered that? I am personally convinced that when God made you and me he had a plan in mind. None of us is the leading reputation in the story of our life. The True Story of Mary Clarke The June 2004 issue of Reader’s Digest reveals the true story of Mary Clarke, a woman who dreamed of being rich, married, and raising a family with seven children. It all came true, but twenty-five years later her marriage ended in a painful divorce that to this day she will not discuss. With her marriage over and her children grown, she begun searching for God’s unfeigned intent for her life. In 1977 Mary Clarke became Sister Antonia and made La Mesa Prison near Tijuana, Mexico, her permanent home. Since then Sister Antonia has lived by choice in a ten-foot concrete cell and committed her life to serving the prisoners at La Mesa. “I live in a prison,” she says, “but I have not experienced one day of depression and never felt hopeless. I have never once felt there wasn’t something I could do to make things better.” Mary Clarke’s life has turned out much dissimilar than anticipated. She never dreamed of living in a prison and serving criminals. Eventually, she encountered something God wants all of us to recognize: None of us is the leading reputation in the story of our life. Recognizing God’s Hand There comes a time when we commence to observe God’s providential leading. It is God’s intervention in our lives that reminds us that He is the leading character. The things that occur in your life are things God allows for a reason. God never makes mistakes. In the respective spiritual books I’ve read on the subject of God’s guidance, there are five recurring themes that I have discovered:
When God made you he had a plan. No man has any say regarding the time or the place of his birth. The Bible teaches that God determines that without consulting us (Acts 17:26). Have you ever considered that God is behind everything that is happening in your life – from birth to death? Are you conscious that God is leading you right now? Ask him to make his plan clearer. Trust his timetable. Credit God with knowing what he is doing. None of us is the leading reputation in the story of our life.
