EMPOWERING LIVES WITH PURPOSE:
“God will fill you with wisdom, understanding, and knowledge to do the task He has called you to do.” (Exodus 31:1-6)
Many of us are afraid to step out in faith and serve our Lord. I’m here to tell you that the Lord doesn’t expect our steps to be perfect; He just expects us to be obedient! Consider taking the first step, then allow Him to do the rest!
It’s not our perfect steps that the world is so desperately longing for, my dear sisters of faith; it is beyond that…
The world isn’t impressed by supposedly perfect people who live in perfect houses with perfect children. People are impressed by love and “genuine God-inspired” love. That’s what will move them, and that’s what will give them great confidence. Be real when you talk and share Jesus and His love.
I’m testifying to this each time I stand up to speak in front of people and feel I mess up my words. I’m not perfect, nor am I a perfect speaker. I see it each time I share my broken past and the victory God brought from it instead of just sharing how great things are in the now.
People can’t relate to perfection, but they can relate to being “real.” It encourages others to step out and try, too, despite their broken roads!
How is God going to use you to build His Kingdom going forward?
It takes courage to step out in faith and trust God! He alone is able to do exceedingly abundantly more than we can ask or think. Allow Him access and be willing to use your mess-ups for His messages.
This is exactly how my writings began, by testifying of my mess ups, sharing my stories with transparency, and glorifying God with the “how” He worked it together for good in my life.
“All things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.” (Romans 8:28)
