God doesn't ask anything of us that He has not first prepared us for. There isn't anything He calls us to that He has not enabled us for. Everything that stands before us today has passed through the hand of God. That should give us hope. There is nothing that is too big for us with Jesus going before us.
We allow fear to overshadow us. We let others tell us that we are never going to do it. Friends, don't quit! Don't give up. Don't allow Satan to steal away from you what God has prepared for you today. Do not compromise the truths of God for what this world tries to feed you.
You are special. You are unique. You were created in love, with purpose and promise. Your life is one to be lived. Don't settle for less than anything God has for you. God knows what He's doing. All He is asking is that we seek Him with all our heart. When we seek Him we will never come up empty. He forever fills us with everything we need. He knows us better than anyone else. No, friend. Don't try and hide from the One who created you. Run to Him! As you seek Him your faith will grow as you see the evidence that He has been working in your life all along.
Things may look really bad today. You may want to give up. I too have been there. But, with the grace of God, He brought me through and continues to show me the path He has created for me. Each day I learn more about myself through spending time with Him. Jesus saves! He changes us to look more like Him. He sets us apart. He pulls us out of the pit. Grace and mercy are for those who seek the Lord.
No matter where you are today, you are sure to find Jesus there with you. You are never alone. Hope remains alive with every breath and every choice we make to move closer to Him. His Spirit lives in us! Walk in courage today and know that whatever is before you, your Lord, Jesus Christ, is there waiting.
Don't fear what is to come. Don't be afraid to step into the unknown. There is nothing unknown to our Lord and Savior. He wants to move in you. He wants you to witness the glory before you. He wants you to move on His behalf. He has given all for us. He loves you as if you were His only child. Call upon Him today. Seek Him with everything you have. You will find His glory, great and small, mighty and tender.
"For we are God's handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do."
