Good morning! Everyday we should be Pressing toward the Mark of the "Higher Calling" and not chasing just any call. If we are to seek ye "FIRST" the kingdom of God; why are so many of us holding on the gifts that God has given to us...? Sisters you have to get this...Such gifts are Never for us! They are given for three reasons; 1.To Glorify God 2. To Minister to others. 3. Raise you in Maturity a...nd Build to the body of Christ! my sisters what are your excuses for not getting involved...? Rick Warren said it best:
Abraham was old, Jacob was insecure, Leah was unattractive, Joseph was abused, Moses stuttered, Gideon was poor, Samson was codependent, Rahab was immoral, David had an affair and all kinds of family problems, Elijah was suicidal, Jeremiah was depressed, Jonah was reluctant, Naomi was a widow, John the Baptist was eccentric to say the least, Peter was impulsive and hot-tempered, Martha worried a lot, the Samaritan woman had several failed marriages, Zacchaeus was unpopular, Thomas had doubts, Paul had poor health, and Timothy was timid. This is quite a variety of misfits, but God Greatly used each of them for the Kinfdom! For those who are still doubting their Need, their Value, the Power of their Gift for theKongdom of God. I leave you with this; If God used a donkey to speak what thus said the Lord; He can certainly use you too if you stop making excuses!! You are perfect in the eyes of God and whatever your misfits are He knows them too! Be Blessed and Get Moving!
