Make 2014 a year of Sharing
“For as high as the heavens are above the earth, So great is His lovingkindness toward those who fear Him. As far as the east is from the west, So far has He removed our transgressions from us.” – Psalm 103:11-12
Where are you going? I mean in this life. Where are you heading to, what are you trying to accomplish? Are you satisfied with waking up each morning, going through the same monotonous minutes of each day and then synching up on Facebook, Twitter and catching the news before calling it a night, only to wake up the next morning to do the same thing? There is so much more to this life that the Lord has given to you, and you are fully capable and ready to go and get it. The decision rests completely in your hands on whether or not you want too.
I know many of you are disqualifying yourselves immediately because of things you have in the old history bucket. I can only tell you to get in line. There is nothing in your history that is unique in this world. You may think it is because you only see the world in 20 foot increments, but I promise you that the Father in heaven, who calls you His own, sees your life in it’s entirety at all times. You can’t see the greatness that your interactions in this world have stimulated and there is a reason for that. It is not for your glory or credit, but uniquely for His. It is normal for each of us to look back on our past and see those areas where we fell short and beat ourselves up for being unrighteous in our actions or words. The reality is that it is washed away and removed completely once you have taken it to the Lord. He casts every sin unmeasurably far away from your presence. It is the evil one in this world that keeps reminding you of it.
Likewise, you fear your weakness and unpreparedness will prevent you from being a productive participant in God’s plan for the future. Before you even think about picking up His purpose and living for Him, you have defeated yourself in your own mind based on your own fears of what may or may not ever come to be. You are a child of God and you need to accept that fact, and realize that when you are pursuing His purpose in your life, it cannot fail. You may not see the immediate impact, but it will succeed if He has called you to it. You must stop allowing your past weakness to prevent your future success. We all need to learn to Let it Go, so start today. There is no reason to wait even one more day.
