Today was about to be one of those sad mornings for me. I woke up early as per usual. I went to my secluded place, read my Bible, meditated and prayed. I am quite happy with this routine, giving my first hour of my day to my Lord.
Today, I shared as I usually do with a group that I am in. It took a lot of courage and prayer before I took the first step to share with a large number of people. To say, simply, this is what the Lord has spoken to me from the selected reading. It took lots!
Today, one of the teachers in the group, decided to post as soon as I had, that we should not summarise and share what God has shared with us. It is not just a check box! He was directing it to the whole group but having posted right after I had shared, I felt attacked and sad.
Today, I questioned my worth before my God. I questioned if God hears my prayers, if He speaks to me at all. That comment by the teacher made me question my relationship with God. What if it is all in my head that God has been speaking to me? What if… what if I am not part of God’s family? How many more will feel like I am? How many more will feel discouraged to share God’s word to avoid situations like today?
Today, for you, who like me, are feeling discouraged and unworthy, I know for a fact that God loves us soo much. A love we cannot even begin to understand. I choose to speak God to those thoughts. I choose to let God use me, however, painful it may be, to show love to all. I acknowledge that the first relationship man ever had was with God. A personal walk. That is this is to me. A personal journey with God. So, no, teacher, this is not a check box for me,it is a lifetime plan. A lifestyle!
Today, I want you to know: You are worthy! : “But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.”
1 Peter 2:9 NIV. Whatever anyone says, I believe God hears each and everyone of us.
Today, I pray for you that God shows you His undying love. I pray that I can show love to others as deeply as God has shown me and keeps showing me. I commit to speak love and healing to all. Just like that I am filled with joy again, knowing and meditating on Gods promises. I choose to praise the Lord in all situations. #MyFaithJourney #JourneyToTriplets
This is such a beautiful message of encouragement
Thank you! I am glad it resonates with you.
