As you know I will share my experiences with God on this blog not only to help you on this journey with Jesus but also to help myself. This week to say the least I had a Blessed Epiphany....
For the longest time I knew that God loved me just by the mere fact he saved me and for that I wanted to stay as humble as possible because I wanted God to have his proper place as Lord and Savior of my life. I did not want to be egotistical or arrogant, just a humble servant of God.
Well, this week God revealed to me that I may have been overdoing it way too much. For the longest time I though that other people were better than I was. That their ministry and the things they were doing were more important than mine. In an effort to be as humble as could be, I had formed an inferior complex. God saved me and he loves me but he also said in his word "To love another as you love yourself." That's where I got tripped up. I did not Godly love myself and did not feel complete and whole.
This week God spoke to me and clearly let me know that I am loved and that I truly have worth. That my dreams, my desires and my goals were important to God and just as important is that those things are important to me.
My whole perspective has changed and now I am starting to see myself as God sees me. That I am not stuck in life and while I am here that I need to be happy and make a difference for God in my life and the lives of others.
God has given me new purpose and a new confidence in life that I have never felt before. The smile is back on my face and my hope is in my God. I thank God for this tremendous life changing gift.
What can God do you with you if you freed yourself up? If you thought, Hey, I'm good enough, I have talents that God gave me and it's about time I use them.
My prayer for you is that God is using you and you are using the talents he gave you to the uttermost.
Until next time,
Love in Christ
