As He Sees You......

_________________________________________________________________________

Isn’t it amazing that God has more faith in you and me than we have in ourselves...?

Feelings of doubt, low self worth, inadequacies begin to clear up, like mist making way for the sunrise peering in the horizon when we are reminded of God`s steadfast love.

God announces us while we are still consumed in the shadows of struggle, lack, low self esteem and any other negativity.  He calls out the hero out of the shrinking coward, a heroine out of a timid damsel.  Like a meticulous Creator, enthralled by the beauty of His creation He eagerly, continuously announces who we are.

God sees a King of the jungle in a young cub, a Giant Slayer in a small shepherd boy, a Father of many nations in a childless man, a deliverer of a nation in a runaway lad, a Mighty man of Valor in a hiding, seemingly insignificant, terrified young man. A Royal Queen in a young innocent girl....

How can we continue to contest with God, when He alone beholds the full knowledge of the purpose for which He created us?

Life`s dry barren episodes can never over shadow His nature. Clear blue skies void of rain clouds cannot deter Him as the Rain Maker. Our own times of testing, more conflicting in chaos than order, clamour than peace, can never cause Him to be faithless.  He Alone is Our Everything.  In the stillness of night or in violent, raging tempest of storms, we ought to believe, The Master Creator is at work.  So, be still and know it all pans out in the end.  He Alone as The Master Creator is at work, moving, restoring, uprooting and silencing storms in you and through you.

We often shrivel with doubt, failing to fathom the strength and abilities God placed within us.  In the midst of our strengths and struggles lies infinite potential. In us, God sees unstoppable possibility, captivating beauty and daring uniqueness hidden in potential and destiny.

Our availability is all what God requires, a willing, obedient, humble heart is enough for God to work with. Gods backing is more important than the cheering of a million!! Our backgrounds, our pasts, our history cannot deter God from using or blessing us.

God`s instructions will always set us apart. As we step in obedience doing what He has called us to do, He will back us up with His presence. If fear is an excuse, we ought to do it afraid and watch our fears hang behind us like still shadows.

It`s time for us to disengage from everything that has always taken God`s space in our lives, dethroning the false humility, self-limiting talk and honour God by embracing and trusting His Word fully as we disengage the familiar and embrace the abundant life He offers us. 

Often, the real us is never identified in the familiar we are accustomed to....We often mistake our identity with the familiar we`ve ultimately settled for.  So let go of the familiar and reach out for the infinite possibilities!!!!

Be Encouraged and let`s step out in Faith! J

His Beloved.....
