I WISH … I could lose a few pounds … I made more money … I could change this or that …. We all have made, “I wish” statements. It is common to all of us. We remain positive and determined. This optimism is what keeps us moving forward and a healthy dose of wishful thinking isn’t bad.
It’s also important to realize that God has a purpose for us and we can make a difference in the lives of others. Perhaps there is something you wish for in others and not from others. Maybe there is a blessing you can be to someone else instead of just yourself. God is in the business of granting wishes but likely for the potential of helping another along the way.
Wishing has to include his companion call to action. A healthy combination of both wishing and doing might yield the kind of return that we hope for. Not everything can be determined by our persistence but if we don’t lean in we may never discover it.
What is your first step of action after wishing? When will you begin?
