Willing & Able

I’ve heard the term willing and able used so many times. I don’t think I grasped the fact that sometimes we are one or the other. Some of us rarely get to being both at the same time. Partially, I think it requires too much of us. We are willing to help, but we don’t have the time or resources. We are able, but don’t have the follow through. Truly being willing and able is about a resolve. You have to decide to make yourself available and open to whatever the universe needs from you. You must recognize that you are merely a conduit. You are a vessel. You are a steward. Ask yourself…are you willing? Are you able? Are you willing and able?

Willing

Are you willing? Are you able? Are you ready? Sometimes, the major decisions in our life have more to do with our mindset than our capabilities. We weren't there yet. We couldn't wrap our mind around it. We weren't mature enough. We hadn't lived long enough. We didn't trust God enough. We didn't trust ourselves enough. Our faith was shaken. We were scared. We were afraid. It happens, but in order to get where God wants us to be, we have to assuage our doubts and fears. We have to take the first step. We have to be willing.
