May I Encourage You Today?
Have you ever worked hard for something, prayed about it, prepared for it, and still heard the word “no”?
Recently, I received another “no.”🥲
And if I’m honest, I have seen so many “no’s” over the years that I’ve honestly lost count.
No to opportunities.
No to proposals.
No to partnerships.
No to things I truly believed would move forward.
But instead of becoming discouraged, I had to remind myself of something powerful:
Every “no” simply means I’m one step closer to the right “yes.”
A “no” is not a reflection of your value. I know what I bring to the table, and I trust that the right doors will recognize it.
Not arrogance. Just confidence built through prayer, experience, perseverance, and faith.
Because the truth is… it only takes one yes. A God yes.
One yes can open a door no man can shut.
One yes can change the trajectory of your life.
One yes can connect you to the right people.
One yes can launch the vision God placed inside of you.
One yes can create opportunities you never imagined.
So, as I speak to myself today, I speak to you. Don’t allow rejection to make you quit.
Sometimes God uses closed doors to redirect us, refine us, protect us, and prepare us for what truly has your name attached to it.
Keep applying as God leds.
Keep building
Keep serving.
Keep praying.
Keep trusting God.
And may I encourage you today… when your “yes” finally comes, you’ll understand why every other door had to remain closed.
“See, I have set before you an open door, and no one can shut it...” Revelation 3:8 NKJV
Much ❤️
