In order to start listening to the Holy Spirit, we need to stop trying to be the Holy Spirit in our everyday lives. When we accept our sins are never too big for God, that is when we can truly let the Holy Spirit begin to work inside of us.
The question is not how do we avoid inconvenience; the question is how do we navigate the inconvenient paths and the inconvenient seasons when they come. The goal for us as Christians is not to avoid inconvenience, but it is to live lives of significance. Inconvenient paths lead to incredible places. Detours do not define us rather we are defined by the calling God has on our life.
