We all know what it feels like to walk through moments of uncertainty. Life has a way of throwing challenges our way, testing our strength, and shaking our resolve. Sometimes, the road ahead seems steep, the obstacles too large, and the destination unclear. But here’s the truth: when you walk with faith, even the hardest paths lead to purpose.
Faith is more than just a belief in something bigger than ourselves—it’s the conviction that we are not alone on this journey. It’s the quiet assurance that even when the road seems dark, there is a light guiding us forward. And while faith doesn’t always remove the struggle, it gives us the courage to keep moving, knowing that every step, no matter how difficult, brings us closer to the person we are meant to be.
Think about the moments in life that have tested you the most. Those are often the moments that shape you the deepest. The struggle isn’t just a test—it’s a transformation. It’s in those tough seasons where we learn what we’re truly made of, where we discover strength we never knew existed, and where we find purpose we didn’t expect.
The hardest paths often lead to the most beautiful destinations. And often, that destination is not just a place but a deeper understanding of ourselves, our values, and the people we’re meant to serve. When you walk by faith, those hard times are never wasted. They mold your character. They prepare you for something greater.
But there’s a deeper question we must ask ourselves: What do we crave?
We all crave something. Maybe it’s success, peace, recognition, love, or fulfillment. Our cravings are often tied to our desires for purpose, for meaning. But why do we crave what we crave? Are these desires just reflections of our inner emptiness, or are they calls to something deeper? To answer this, we need to stop and ask ourselves: What is it that God wants us to crave from Him?
See, our cravings don’t always align with the things God has planned for us. We live in a world that pushes us toward external rewards—wealth, status, and comfort—but God calls us to crave something far deeper: His presence, His peace, His wisdom. God wants us to crave His will, His guidance, and His love above all else. When we realign our cravings with what He desires for us, our paths become clearer, and the struggles we face make more sense.
The question we need to ask is: How do we simplify God’s principles to lead us closer to Him?
God’s principles aren’t complicated. We tend to complicate them with the noise of the world. In their purest form, God’s principles are simple and rooted in love, humility, and faith. Jesus simplified everything when He taught us the greatest commandments: to love God with all our heart, soul, and mind, and to love our neighbor as ourselves.
When we focus on these two commandments, everything else falls into place. When we seek to love God above all else, we are inviting His will to shape our desires. When we seek to love others, we are living out the purpose He has given us. The journey becomes less about figuring everything out and more about living with the intention of drawing closer to Him. Each day, we simplify our choices by asking, “What would God have me do? How can I love better today?”
So, when the path feels too hard, when the mountain feels too high, and when we don’t understand why we crave what we crave, we turn to God. We ask Him to help us refine our desires and simplify our hearts. We walk with the faith that every challenge, every craving, every question, leads us closer to the heart of God.
When you walk by faith, trust that God is not only with you on the journey, but He is also shaping your cravings and refining your purpose. The struggles will pass, but the lessons will stay. And ultimately, they will lead you to a life that is far more meaningful than you ever expected.
So, keep walking, keep trusting, and remember: your purpose is waiting for you, just around the corner, and the cravings you feel can lead you straight to the heart of God.
Thank you.
