"I didn't realize then, but I strongly believe now that there is a common misconception that whatever happens to us is the will of God. It's as though we think: Okay, I can do whatever I want and God will either do something or He won't and that will be His will. It will all work out. It will all happen just like it needs to. I don't believe this anymore. I believe that God is in control, yes, but I also believe I have a choice: I can follow Him or I can turn my back on Him. I can say yes to Him, or I can say no. I can go to the hard places or I can remain comfortable. And if I remain comfortable, God who loves us unconditionally will continue to love me anyway. I may still see His glory revealed in my life an recognize His blessings, but not like I could have."
-Katie Davis "Kisses from Katie"
I long to see His glory the way He intends.
