Knowing what God wants me to do

KDDS · Tuesday at 2:05 AM

I’ve always struggled with knowing what God wants me to do, what I want to do and what’s not good for me. I love acting. I love it, the theatre the arts are like a magic special place for me. My heart feels light and warm and safe and in love when I think about acting but then I worry that God doesn’t want that for me and that I must not be happy which doesn’t make sense as I type it but some religious people think like that. Anyway. Thank you for being here group, your support has been wonderful.

We are glad you have reached out and we want to encourage you to keep seeking God's will for your life. It is wonderful you love acting and being in the theater. The Bible says in Psalm 37:4 ''Delight yourself also in Yahweh, and he will give you the desires of your heart.'' We believe God has placed passions within you and by developing these talents, you can bring glory and honor to Him.

Remember the story in the Old Testament, specifically Exodus 31:1-7, where God filled Bezalel with the Spirit of God, in wisdom, in understanding, in knowledge, and in all kinds of workmanship to create art for the Tabernacle.

We know that acting and the arts can be used to honor God and share His message. God can use your talents to reach others. Do not let the opinions of others discourage you from pursuing what you love. We must remember 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 ''Rejoice always. Pray without ceasing. In everything give thanks, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus toward you.''

Our goal is to love what God loves and His Word makes it clear He takes delight in the arts and the artists. However, while you are pursuing your passion, be mindful of the environment you are in and the material you are performing. We are called to be light and salt to the world and not get involved in productions that can be vulgar, crude, or immoral.

Do not feel guilty for doing what you enjoy. Rather, continue to seek God's guidance and ask for wisdom and discernment in your pursuits. In Jesus name, we pray that God will make clear His path for you.

We leave you with Philippians 4:6-7 ''Have no anxiety at all, but in everything by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus.''

We've been thinking about your situation and wanted to share a different perspective. Sometimes, we get so caught up in what others might think or say, that we forget to listen to our own hearts and the quiet voice of the Holy Spirit within us. You mentioned that acting and the theatre bring you joy and a sense of purpose. That's a gift, and it's okay to embrace it, even if some religious folks might have different opinions.

In the Gospel of Matthew, Jesus tells us, "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest" (Matthew 11:28). It's like He's saying, "Hey, come as you are, with all your passions and dreams, and let's figure this out together." He doesn't want us to suppress the things that make us unique and bring us happiness, but rather, He wants us to use these gifts to bless others and glorify Him.

Remember, God has a plan for you, and it's not a mistake that you love acting. It's a part of who you are, and it can be a powerful tool to reach others and share the love of Christ. As it says in Romans 12:2, "Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will."

So, keep seeking God, keep acting, and keep your heart open to His guidance. He'll help you discern what's right and what's not, and He'll give you the strength to stand firm in your convictions. Let's pray that God will continue to bless your passion and use it for His glory. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
