Random FaceBook commentary on living a purpose filled life.

God doesn't grant wishes for things, but rather opportunities. So, you have to be willing to pay a price to seize them. However, the price of resignation and poor (passing over opportunities repeatedly) judgment is far greater.

What does that mean?

It means, too often people are blessed with fantastic opportunities that could literally transform their lives. And respond with, "I need to pray on it". So many pray for a fantistic home, a new car, a great spouse, fame, and fortune. God doesn't grant wishes for things. God blesses you with opportunities to achieve your desires, provided they are a reflection of his will for his people. However, opportunities require a willingness to put in the effort to make them grow and endure. Faith without works is an empty promise. People want the glory, but without the story, the journey, the fire that shapes and brands. "Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls, and looks like work." - Thomas Edison.
