"Do you want to ... ?"

I realised that many decisions we made can be reduced to the consideration of a simple question "Do you want to ... ?"

Many times we would think of other factors such as "Do I have the ability to ... ? Do I have the resources to ... ? Am I in the right state of mind to ... ? Am I passionate to ... ?

God showed me that when I made the most important decision in my life to receive Him, I didn't know very much, I still had doubts and stuff I did not understand about Christianity. Yet, in my heart, I very much wanted to know His love.

Even now, when there is tiredness and maybe a lack of passion to serve and negative thoughts and I feel as if I can't control my thoughts... the Holy Spirit whispers "It doesn't matter... But, do you want to continue running the race?"

I know the answer is yes... Lord, let there never be the day which I would say no...

Something I read somewhere "The person who doesn't know how to, but wants to, will accomplish more than the person who knows how to but does not want to..."
