God should i stay or go
So staying or going is just figuring out how to obey God more. It is always about growth. So when you are looking for options, wisdom will have to come into play. Work on the three parts of true faith :. Figure out your heart. Why you are upset, anxious or just flat out sinning?. Will leaving help you deal with that sin, or are you just replacing it with new ones, or bringing that sin with you to a new situation?
Will leaving help you Love God and Others more or less? Either way, you need to focus on growing spiritually. Why Do We Suffer? Seek wisdom full explanation to find other options that allow you to be obedient to God by Loving God and Loving Others more. This one can be hard to spot, because we are often blinded by love. Even worse, is this person showing you signs of toxicity? There should be certain deal breakers you have for entering a relationship that you should absolutely never compromise on.
Satan wants us to be in relationships that make us unhappy, while God would rather us stay single until we find the right fit.
God speaks to us in some mysterious ways. These encounters might leave you feeling uneasy. However your subconscious probably is. When I fall into a relationship, I see forever stretched out in front of me, both terrifying and beautiful.
I see future plans, future happiness. I imagine myself intertwined with someone else, but as this life brings conflict, that image distorts, that image gets blurry. But what about myself? Is this what you want for me? Is staying with this person the right choice? Or is there someone better out there for me? Should I stay, or go? Please show me the ways you are guiding me, loving me, and standing beside me. Show me the ways to love like you, to be humble and selfless and forgiving and kind.
To follow Jesus involves going. It involves helping others become his disciples. Christianity is, at its core, a missionary religion. Paul, the first century apostle, was one of the greatest to go. He traveled all over the Roman Empire spreading the news about Jesus. About years later, on an island far to the north, Irish raiders kidnapped a young English boy named Patricius and held him as a slave for several years.
While he eventually made his escape and returned to England, something began to shift in his heart. The Lord, through visions, began to pull him once again to Ireland, this time to return as a missionary to his former captors. He sailed back to preach the gospel to the pagan Irish and eventually became Saint Patrick of Ireland , the first documented missionary outside the bounds of the Roman Empire. Only the sea remained. He was highly determined. Thanks to his pioneering work and the efforts of many others, millions of Africans are now disciples of Jesus.
Their influence is broad. Some of these followers of Jesus answered the call to make disciples of all nations by going to the Xhosa tribe of South Africa. There, a young Nelson Mandela was formed in his faith and in his ability to forgive during his years attending a Methodist grammar school. Mandela went on to become the first black President of South Africa where he stressed forgiveness and unity despite spending twenty-eight years in a prison for his political beliefs.
He led South Africa through a perilous journey from apartheid towards freedom, staving off what many felt would be a time of mass bloodshed and loss of life. Because he applied the teachings of Jesus that had infiltrated his young life to the political situation in South Africa. You never know, perhaps there is a young Mandela in your path, just down the road, ready for the words of Jesus. One of the glories of going in this way is that Jesus does not spell out the details.
