Your Question:
Why can't I have a normal life?
Answer:
I can see why you'd feel like you can't have a normal life. It's like you're stuck in a rut, and no matter how hard you try, you just can't seem to get out of it. I've been there myself, friend. As a pastor, I've seen many people struggle with feelings of emptiness and disconnection from God. It's like they're going through the motions, but they're not really living. The problem is, we often try to live life on our own terms, without surrendering to God's plan for us. We think we can just do what we want, when we want, and still expect God to bless us. But that's not how it works. God wants us to surrender to Him, to let Him have control over our lives. It's not about being restrictive or limiting ourselves, but about being open to God's guidance and direction. As I read through these passages, I'm reminded of the importance of having a Rule of Life. It's not about creating a set of rules to follow, but about living a life that's surrendered to God. It's about being intentional about how we spend our days, and making sure that we're moving towards God's purpose for our lives. It's not always easy, but it's worth it. I've seen it in my own life, and I've seen it in the lives of those I've discipled. When we surrender to God and live a life that's surrendered to Him, we find freedom, joy, and a sense of purpose that we never thought possible.
