Do You Want To?
By John Wesley0ISA 30:21MAT 5:1John Wesley emphasizes the transformative journey of being born again, urging believers to surrender their old lifestyles for the new one outlined in the Sermon on the Mount. He reassures that the key to this transition is not in learning a new way of life but in recognizing our need for it and listening for God's guiding voice. Wesley illustrates this with a metaphor of a shepherd guiding his sheep, highlighting God's constant presence and direction in our lives. He encourages believers to measure their lives against God's standards rather than their own, ensuring they walk in His ways. Ultimately, Wesley calls for obedience to God's voice, which leads us away from sin and towards righteousness.

He asserts that true fulfillment comes from aligning with God's plan rather than pursuing personal ambitions. Miller encourages believers to seek God's guidance through prayer, scripture, and attentiveness to their daily responsibilities, as these lead to discovering one's mission. He reminds us that every role, no matter how small, holds significance in God's eyes, and that we should focus on fulfilling our current duties rather than worrying about the future. Ultimately, a life well-lived is one that faithfully follows God's direction, step by step.
