When life *seems* hard, remember that some of the GREATEST that God used had the biggest struggles!
Joseph was bullied and beaten by brothers he looked up to, sold into slavery out of jealously, falsely accused of sexual assault, put in prison and NONE OF THAT stopped the assignment God had for him and the EPIC way God used him to bless others!
Esther faced the destruction her herself and her people...
Paul went blind, went through shipwrecks, being jailed....
And to make it personal, doctors told my parents not to name me. They said I wouldn’t live past a few weeks.
Years later, they said they didn’t think I would live past 12, then 20...
Living with chronic health conditions can seem hard, but all things work together for the good when you love God.
I have purposed in my heart to always allow my challenges to be an area of encouragement for others.
To let others know you don’t have to live from your circumstances, you can live from your identity.
Joseph identified as a dreamer, so being in a prison never changed that he belonged to God and was meant for greater.
I identify as chosen, as a messenger meant to encourage the women of God to remember that no circumstance or situation is too hard. Nothing can take your joy... but you can give it away.
Nothing can MAKE you feel overwhelmed but you can allow it to.
Nothing can STOP the assignment God has for your life but you can refuse to complete it (or try....remember Jonah...)
So, on this GOOD FRIDAY, remember when things *seem* bleak, hard, soul-crushing, etc...It never is because we serve a God who has overcome the world.
Jesus reigns! Jesus lives! He lives in us! The same power that raised Jesus from the dead lives in us, so don’t quench the spirit! Don’t neglect to renew your mind and walk in the ways of God and THINK in the ways of God as well!
That is the key to maintaining your peace, your joy, and staying the course so you can complete the EPIC assignment God has for you and reach every person He has assigned you!
