If I asked you what God wants to see in your life this year, would you have an answer? Before you begin to answer with all the things you want to see, remember that I asked what God said. I know that seems like a question that’s impossible to have an answer to but I can testify that that’s not true. God wants to invite us into the secret things concerning us. Of course, there’s so much we don’t get to know and have to continue to surrender to and obey in faith, but even still, there is so much that God wants to share with you, and more importantly, prepare you for.

How can you know what leads you? How do you know whether you are being led by the Spirit of God or being led by the influence of the world or people in your environment? How can you tell the difference between what appears good and what is God? There is so much noise in the world today. How do you discern what God is speaking? Does it matter to you?

God has this way of pointing out your flaws in ways that make you feel seen and loved, empowering you to change for the better. As you begin to come undone, unlearning and shedding off old traits, God will show you that you can trust Him. He is with you. He is for you.

When you hand the deepest desires of your heart over to God, who knows the entirety of your life in detail, He will take them from you and give you peace. He will instruct you concerning what He knows you need. He will lead you to the place of preparation where He builds you into the person you need to be to have those desires that fall within His will for your life.

If faith is the substance of things hoped for, and the evidence of things not seen, then having faith is a matter of believing God’s word over us.

The Holy Spirit guides us to the truth and tells us what is yet to come according to the will of God.

As the Holy Spirit moves through your life, He builds you up by speaking to you. He is edifying you. Revealing you to you overtime and by doing so building up your knowledge and understanding of your worth.
