Walk Your Own Walk

So, I’ve been thinking a lot about convictions lately — specifically that we don’t all share the same ones, and that’s okay.

Over the past few months, I’ve made a lot of changes in my life. I've chosen to step away from things that were distracting me from my relationship with God. Those things aren’t necessarily wrong for everyone else — they were simply wrong for me at the time. Choosing to make certain changes isn’t a judgment on those who haven’t made the same choices. We are each on our own journey of faith, and our paths don’t have to look identical.

What God asks me to lay down, He may not be asking you to surrender. That doesn’t mean one of us is less faithful — it means God is being intentional with each of our hearts. God works personally in every heart. What He is emphasizing in your life right now may not be what He is addressing in someone else’s — and that doesn’t make either journey less valid.

Our calling is not to measure one another’s walk, but to walk faithfully in our own. Sometimes faithfulness looks like staying in our own lane, trusting that God is guiding others just as surely as He is guiding us.

Different convictions can still lead to the same faithful obedience. In the end, God isn’t calling us to mirror one another — He’s calling us to follow Him.
