"We must never put our dreams of success as God's purpose for us. His purpose may be exactly the opposite. We have an idea that God is leading us to a particular end, a desired goal; but He is not....What we call the process God calls the end. His purpose is that I depend on Him and His power NOW. God is not working towards a particular finish; His end is the process...It is the process not the end that is glorifying to God. God's end is for me to see that He can walk on the chaos of life right now...we do not pay sufficient attention to the immediate present: if we realize that obedience is the end, then each moment as it comes is precious.
Be blessed and splash it on to others, like a sweet perfume. Maralee
