God will work through you!

God will work through the opportunities He gives you ...not the ones He gives someone else. Throughout life God will strategically place you in different roles to carry out specific purposes. Don't compare the role you've been placed in to the role of another person- doing so devalues the opportunity God wants to work through you & places your destiny at risk (Mk 4:25). Your value isn't defined by what you do...it's defined by Who you belong to-where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom (2 Cor 3:17); this is the freedom to be the you God made you to be! Knowing you belong to God & are approved by Him (Col 2:10) gives you the boldness to rise up & be who He says you are & being confident to carry out what He asks you to do (Phil 2:13). God says you've got what it takes to carry out the good works He planned for you long ago (Eph 2:10). The opportunities God works through you will change throughout life...but His love & value for you won't ever change-He's the same yesterday, today & forever (Heb 13:8)! Embrace what God gives you & He will give you more (Mk 4:24). Will you let God work through you? I have good plans for you declares the Lord...plans to prosper you, to give you hope & a future (Jer 29:11)!  1/30/14CIFL/LMM
