Convicted...

So I've been reading the book "Crazy Love" by Francis Chan the past few days, and it has gotten me to thinking. So often I want God to just give me straight answers and my future. I feel like when I call for God, he needs to be there and give me all that I ask for. I often wonder why that is not the case.

How can I ask God to give me all of Him, yet not surrender to Him all of me?

If we are to truly see God, hear God, be used by God, then we need to be willing to carry our crosses daily. But what does that even mean? How do I even go about doing that? Lately I've been thinking about what my future holds. How do I fit into God's master plan? I'm willing to give up everything for the Kingdom (I think), but how do I even do that? What would God have me do? This is something I've been struggling with. I ask for prayer for wisdom/discernment on how I fit into the Kingdom.

Blessings,
Josh
