EMPOWERING LIVES WITH PURPOSE:
Years ago, I went through a refining period in my life. God brought me through a painful, yet necessary cleansing.
In my place of loneliness and delay, I learned obedience. The Lord taught me about purity of heart, kingdom motivation, and serving with excellence and a good attitude. It was there that I thrived. I learned to trust God in that place.
Are you in any kind of place where you are being stretched? Please, if you are… “be still” and learn to thrive where you are with God. It’s such a safe place to be with Him. It may be here that He wants you to stay for a period before you are elevated to the next place.
After a time, God released me from that place as I learned and grew with Him. And as I look back, I want to encourage you with this…”I would not trade that time for anything, not even my life, because it gave me the life I now live for Christ!”
“God has had it with the proud, but takes delight in just plain people. So be content with who you are, and don’t put on airs. God’s strong hand is on you; He will promote you at the right time. Live care free before God; He is most careful with you.”
(1 Peter 5:5-7) The Message.
