God’s Call: Are you willing?
Have you been dismissing the call God gave you? The feeling you have in your heart. The ideas, the dreams, the vision because you felt unqualified, unworthy, and not enough?
The vision seemed impossible and you felt overwhelmed. I know I did. I wasn’t sure I made for this call. I kept ignoring it but my heart kept going back to it. I felt I should be further along in life or I wasn't where I wanted to be. I felt so afraid, uncertain, and full of doubt. God had me in a season of waiting to prepare for what He promised me.
I don’t feel ready and just like marriage and parenting. You can plan and prepare all you want but things in life won’t go according to your plan. It’s God’s plan and it's learning He will prepare for something greater than you ever expected.
God knows what you are going through and it’s learning to be obedient. Your experiences is part of His purpose for His good. It may not make sense and it’s learning to Trust God more. It’s a word that keeps coming up for me this year. Will you obey? Will you answer the call? God doesn’t call the qualified, He qualifies the called.
To be patient in His timing and to let things naturally unfold. Do you feel you are constantly trying to force things or control things that keeps slipping through your hands? I know I have and it never works. A lesson I’m still learning is to let go of control and trust God. To release it and give it to Him.
Do you ever feel weight on your shoulders? The heavy burdens and the situation you are in? It’s hard to feel the blessings when you can’t see past the problem or the struggles. Deep in the waters that you can’t catch a break. My friend all you need to do is look up and reach out to Jesus. He’s ready and waiting to help you.
You are never beyond His grace and you can let go of the troubles that surround you. I had stressed myself out trying to get to the next destination, next level, next goal that I was never truly present. I burnt myself out that it took me getting sick to really slow down. To just rest and be still. To reflect on all the blessings I have and not feel so rushed. I was not behind. I was right where I needed to be.
There was no need to compare my journey to no one else’s. I didn’t need to put the unnecessary stress on myself. I just needed to take one step at time, one day at a time. Trust in the Lord & His timing is perfect. Don’t be afraid because He’s with you every step of the way. You are meant for more and everything you lost. You will get tenfold. It was time to let go and time to start a new chapter. The choice is yours. Your time is now. 🤍
