When feelings of inadequacy come creeping in, let’s park our mind in God’s Truth.
You're not inadequate, sweet friend. You're in progress.
“Being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.” Phil. 1:6
All my life I was told following Jesus meant abstaining from wrong.
They said, “Stand up for truth. It won’t be easy.”
Here’s the actual truth:
It’s easy to draw lines in sand. Black & white. Right & wrong. Us & them.
The hard part is dying to self and loving like Jesus.
"So will it be with the resurrection of the dead. The body that is sown is perishable, it's raised imperishable; it's sown in dishonor, it's raised in glory; it's sown in weakness, it's raised in power; it's sown a natural body, it's raised a spiritual body." - 1 Cor. 15:42-44
Today, instead of worrying about all of the details & the “what ifs”… instead of letting our problems or the end goals overwhelm us… let’s prayerfully take the very next step in front of us.
There is so much peace to be had when we take things one step at a time.
Life. It surprises us. Delights us. Confuses us. Often brings us to our knees.
But one thing we know above all else is that God has a plan … a beautiful plan … a plan with ups and downs and twists and turns.
So thankful that through it all, He is with us and He is good.
