Don't settle...you have a purpose!

Don't settle for just doing what you need to do another day & forfeit the future God's planned for you. You're purposed for God's glory. You've held back because you've reasoned your contribution isn't that important, you don't want to elevate your value, you've made too many mistakes or maybe you believe you missed your opportunity. I know you know that God's bigger than anything you've done, right? 
I don't want to sound rude, but I do want to be direct & truthful-this isn't about you...it's about what God's called you to do. He's uniquely purposed you to carry out specific tasks while you walk this earth-your trust in Him empowers you to carry out the call. You've reasoned & justified various excuses, but none of them are acceptable because they all come back to your ability. It's not your ability that enables you to do what God calls you to do…it's the attitude of your heart. God's got ability-He needs your availability! God works through available hearts that trust Him to direct their path. True humility is knowing you can't but God can. Your availability doesn't exempt you from opposition, doubt & isolation, but it does promise the Holy Spirit will prompt & affirm your spirit that you're doing the right thing for God. Where the Spirit of the Lord is-there is freedom! When you resist what God's called you to, you will feel a vague disconnect & dissatisfaction-it's because you're disobeying what God's asked you to do. You will remain feeling this way until you obey-stop making excuses. 
Wake up sleeper...you've got work to do! Some days you will feel totally helpless-this reinforces you can't do anything apart from God; remain in Him & He will remain in you. Other days doubt will overwhelm you but remember-when you're weak, you're strong; His grace supplies all your needs. Don't settle...you have a purpose! Are you ready to rise up & do your part? (Pr 3:5-6, 2 Cor 12:9-10, 3:17, Jn 15:5,  Eph 3:20, Phil 4:19) LMM #wakeupsleeper #christianinsightforlife
