There it is again; that voice, that finger wagging telling me I “can’t” do this, no matter how hard I try. Who am I to carry out such a task? Who do I think I am for dreaming so big – reaching for the highest star? Living my faith out loud? Negativity pushes hard sometimes, yells strong and wins me over all too often. I miss out on the blessings and sink in guilt instead. When God sets my feet on the track of His purpose, who am I to think He’ll make me walk it alone? Who am I to ever think I work towards anything… alone?
It is He…who plants the dream.
It is He…who strengthens me to accomplish it.
It is He…who gives me purpose.
“So Christ himself gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the pastors and teachers, to equip his people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ.”
(Ephesians 4:11-13) NIV
Hi Debbie - amen. We can do nothing without Him. He is our strength and our rock. Great post to remind us of that.

You stay strong in this calling my friend! I am praying for you... and this week the Lord nudged me to pray for you even more! You are called for this dream and you are covered by Him and by all of us in fervent prayer! Love you :)
ReplyDeleteI have experienced this many times. Satan is the author of negativity and confusion. If God calls you to it, He will help you through it. Stand strong my dear friend.
