You Are Enough

 

You can live your whole life with fear of the unknown, never taking the steps that have already been paved for you. I don't blame you not knowing what is out there for you and what the out come will be is enough fear to keep you in your safety net, but I do have to say more than fear there is excitement. Excitement of the new road you can walk on and the journey it takes you on. I was once you, afraid to step out of my comfort zone and even more afraid to share my dreams. Each day I thought to myself my dreams were too big, they were just that dreams not meant to come true. The lies I let the enemy tell me made me waste so much time. One thing I have always disliked is when people use the phrase "she is too young to have a child or she is too old". Hearing those words bothered me to my very core. Although I am aware that a young women may not be ready to have a child and that a mother at an older age can affect playtime and other activities that makes them no less qualified. It does not change the heart they have of being a loving mother. Who said just because things might be harder that it is not meant for someone? While in the midst of getting upset at other peoples judgements and criticism of not being enough it hit me like a bag of bricks. Why am I telling myself that I am not good enough for my dreams? Why am I saying that I am not qualified and that I do not deserve what God is telling me to do? As always God delivers answers and that weekend at my home church my pastor talked about being qualified. It was a soul shaking, chain breaking revelation I needed. For I am the child of the most high and I have the keys to the kingdom how can I not be qualified? How can I not be enough when Jesus paid the price with his blood. Don't let your enemies words define you, don't let your past trap you and do not believe satan's lies about you. You are the child of the one most high, you have the blood of the king of all kings in you and you were not meant to live in fear, you were meant to strike fear in those who question your character.

FATHER YOU KNOW I DO NOT LIKE CHANGE. IT FRIGHTENS ME AND MAKES ME UNCOMFORTABLE. I SEE YOU TELLING ME TO REACH OUT AND CHASE AFTER WHAT MY HEART WANTS MOST BUT I KEEP SITTING THE ENEMIES WORDS. PLEASE QUIET ANY NOISE THAT IS NOT GOOD, PLEASE SILENCE THE WORDS OF EVERYONE ELSE AND LET ME ONLY HEAR WHAT YOU SAY. YOUR WORDS ABOUT ME ARE TRUE, I AM WHO YOU SAY I AM. IN JESUS NAME…AMEN

A LITTLE WORSHIP NEVER HURT

STAND IN GOD’S LOVE FOR HE WILL NEVER ABANDON YOU. HIS LOVE WILL ALWAYS SEE YOU THROUGH. THROUGH ANY FIRE HE WILL REMAIN. DO NOT HAVE FEAR IN THE FUTURE HE IS PROMISING YOU AND IF YOU HAVE FEAR DO IT ANYWAY, DO NOT LET IT STOP YOU!
