Brave.
Courageous.
Fearless.
Fighter.
Dreamer.
Adventurist.
Optimist.
Restless.
Unashamed.
Masterpiece.
These are just some of the words floating in my head this afternoon.
Some are book titles...
Others are simply adjectives that have popped up in my life time and time again in the past few months here recently.
Others are words that I wouldn't say describe me YET, but rather what/who I WANT to be.
What about YOU?
What words are being spoken in your life?
What is God asking you to do? WHO is He asking you to BE?
Are you listening?
Do you believe Him when He says you are His masterpiece?
Are you watching for those good works He prepared in advance for you to do?
Are you walking them out?
Are you inviting Him to work in and through you until He finishes what He began the day He dreamed of you (way before the foundation of the world)?
Do you TRUST that He has your GOOD in mind?
Do you realize that He wants the BEST for you and won't let you settle for anything less because you are His and worthy of ALL He has envisioned for you?
Do you understand that His plans are sooooo much better than anything you could imagine?
I think we need to start listening a little better to our heavenly Father.
What HE thinks about us should define us.
Not the world.
Not a bilboard or magazine cover.
Not the mirror or scale.
Not a bathroom sign.
Not a pair of jeans or a dress or a swimsuit.
Not a report card or job evaluation.
Not a paycheck or bank account.
Not a house or car or boat.
Read again who God says you are.
Let that soak in.
Believe it.
Live it out.
Confidently, boldly.
Victoriously.
Because THAT is who you TRULY are!
Ah, the journey of life, with all its twists and turns, its ups and downs. As we travel along the path God has prepared for us, I figure I might as well share some of our adventures on the way. Maybe then, I can make a little better sense of things!
