What does it mean to be available to God? - Available - TouchPoints

Mark 8:34-35“If any of you wants to be my follower, you must give up your own way, take up your cross, and follow me. If you try to hang on to your life, you will lose it. But if you give up your life for my sake and for the sake of the Good News, you will save it.”

Luke 5:11As soon as they landed, they left everything and followed Jesus.

John 10:27“My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me.”

To be available to God means more than just acknowledging his existence. It means reorienting our lives so that no matter what we do, we do it as service to him. Availability means that we are eager to go where God calls us and serve where he directs us. It is simply a matter of being open to God’s leading and being willing to go wherever he leads. He will bless us, not because of our ability but because of our availability.
