God lets us do things our way. But when we seek God’s counsel, He gives what is best for us. We may have to change our desires and perspectives to match God’s and meet Him in the middle. Rebekah did not hesitate to leave her family and go with Eliezer. There will come a time in our lives when we have to go — in faith — and leave behind what we love. But God has greater blessings in store.

Our spiritual journey begins with leaving something behind — with taking a step away from where we are now and leaving our comfort zones. We need to be reborn in spirit. When we’re on the spiritual journey, we may feel like our lives are falling apart. However, if we let go and allow God to be the master surgeon, there will be healing. The journey isn’t easy but when God uses our lives, the results are eternal.
