EMPOWERING LIVES WITH PURPOSE:
Someone once said people will cheer you on as you attempt to climb a mountain, but they are more than happy to shoot you down once you reach the top. Do I really want to step out in faith with all my baggage? What if I dishonor God? What if I suffer public humiliation?
When I finally admit my unreasonable fear to friends, they sometimes look at me like I’m an alien. “What are you talking about?” “You may live cleaner than anyone else around.” “What’s to expose?” they may ask me. “Why are you listening to the enemy’s threats?”
Sometimes a weird look from a friend is a gift straight from heaven. God may use friends to make us aware of boulders buried deep in our hearts. A ton of rock can block you from growing in Christ. It can squish the life out of the seeds that are planted and nestled there with a purpose. Do you have planted seeds in your hearts? God has something He wants to dig up inside you.
He intends to use you with purpose.
God exposes the wicked. He protects, defends, and vindicates the righteous. Not because they’re perfect but because they belong to Him.
Let God remove the rocks in your heart and lift the burdens so His seeds can grow inside you and bring forth fruit.
(John 15:16) Our Lord Jesus Christ presented the truth, saying, “Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it to you.”
You are His.
