are you willing to pay the price that is necessary to achieve the goals that you want in life?
I believe the biggest price paid comes in trying to achieve goals that God did not ordain. Things that are of God have a quiet nod/peace about them...even the difficult places...
Years ago, I learned that striving to have things that were not of God may yield the result...but ALWAYS....with unfruitful results long term.
There's a saying: Flow in the Spirit...You know when something is of God...and you know when you're gonna' pay a price greater than you're willing to pay. When things are of God...He pays the price for you, every step of the way, according to Him in obedience.
Peace.
