LOVE LETTERS|DAILY DEVOTIONAL FOR SINGLES|DAY 281

Scripture for today

Mark 5:16-17 Those who had seen it told the others what had happened to the demon-possessed man and the pigs. At first they were in awe—and then they were upset, upset over the drowned pigs. They demanded that Jesus leave and not come back. (Msg)

Have you ever prayed a prayer that God answered? Then you begin to wish he never answered because it seems like your source of livelihood has been thrown away. In the scripture above we find out that this very madman has been terrorized for years and has also been a terror to people around him. They were happy at first with his healing but they later found out they had lost some material possessions and they got Angry!!. As singles, sometimes we pray for Godswill to be done in out lives then when he does his will we begin to get angry.

God might take us through momentary pain and sometimes tough situations so as to make us feel powerless and see his power at work. He takes us through all that so we can look within us, search all around and see him at work. 

When we surrender our ability and intelligence to God, we will have to let go of a lot of worldly things so as to embrace the heavenly. There are so many relationships that will look so cute and sweet for you but as a follower of Jesus, you will have to let go to seek for a person after God's own heart. There are job opportunities that will look so nice and mouth watery on the outside but since we pursue after Jesus we know we have to let go. When we invite Jesus into our lives we should be ready to lose of some things.

Prayer: Father, help me let go of myself to allow your will be done.
