Default The Baffling Call Of God

"And all things that are written by the prophets concerning the Son of Man shall be accomplished . . . And they understood none of these things." Luke 18:31, 34

God called Jesus Christ to what seemed unmitigated disaster. Jesus Christ called His disciples to see Him put to death; He led every one of them to the place where their hearts were broken. Jesus Christ's life was an absolute failure from every standpoint but God's. But what seemed failure from man's standpoint was a tremendous triumph from God's, because God's purpose is never man's purpose.
There comes the baffling call of God in our lives also. The call of God can never be stated explicitly; it is implicit. The call of God is like the call of the sea, no one hears it but the one who has the nature of the sea in him. It cannot be stated definitely what the call of God is to, because His call is to be in comradeship with Himself for His own purposes, and the test is to believe that God knows what He is after. The things that happen do not happen by chance, they happen entirely in the decree of God. God is working out His purposes. If we are in communion with God and recognize that He is taking us into His purposes, we shall no longer try to find out what His purposes are. As we go on in the Christian life it gets simpler, because we are less inclined to say - Now why did God allow this and that? Behind the whole thing lies the compelling of God. "There's a divinity that shapes our ends." A Christian is one who trusts the wits and the wisdom of God, and not his own wits. If we have a purpose of our own, it destroys the simplicity and the leisureliness which ought to characterize the children of God.
Oswald Chambers

Thank you!

It is true that God allows whatever happens in our life for a reason.
All things work together for good for those who believe~

Dedication owed to surpass the doubtful in correct impulse, rather in a stability to reconcile with, that our walk with Christ be steady straight .. We need to take care of ourselves and resonate the quality of doing all things in trustworthiness consentful, that we are a good demonstration by the power of what we believe in .. Our firm alliance with God will motivate dedicate us to pardon the doubtful within and of another and fully acknowledge to answer like we are liberated once and for all in favor of peaceful relations to have in seed of action .. Depends on our satisfaction on how we decide all things, for as we are eager for a thing we will be of it, that we aught to remember the appreciable realization in suitable demonstration of spiritualness to get motivated ..

My brethren united to developing cause, how do we answer to things ? If how we answer is good, such is worthy to be demonstrated to the whole world as praiseworthy to social spiritual, if how we answer contests the good, it is of shame and of relief to be a secret when the hour of the hour of truth has come to answer to corresponse .. In the answering to all things in deed and word ..

What do you think ?

To be perfectly honest I have no idea what you are saying. Please can we have a simple Englist translation.
