I don't think God ever meant daily life to be an uncertain, am-I-doing-what-I'm-supposed-to-be-doing experience. He's instilled in us passions and desires that drive us to the next step, that motivate us to dig out and determine where and how we would be used best for the Kingdom, but how this pans out in our day-to-day lives may be very different from what we'd picture... But you know what I think God is picturing? I think He's picturing us thinkin' about pleasing and loving Him more than anyone else...and I think He pictures us being driven by that love and desire to please Him in the way we talk to and treat the people He puts in our lives - encouraging other believers to love and good works and being completely unashamed with unbelievers as we act as His child and messenger of the gospel. And then, as we focus more on what we're being instead of what we're doing, He is faithful to open the doors and pave the way to fulfill our desires (which will, coincidentally, be HIS desires), and we'll be blown away by what He does through us. There will be no regrets at the end of a day lived sharing the love of Jesus!
"The aim of our charge is love that issues from a pure heart and a good conscience and a sincere faith." {1timothy1:5}
