God has called you... He has given you an invite. (2 Timothy 1:9 NLT http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=2Timothy1:9&version=NLT)
He has chosen you... He desires you. He prefers you. (Ephesians 1:4-5 AMP http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Ephesians1:4-5&version=AMP)
Don't worry about waiting for someone to "invite" you. Don't be discouraged because you weren't "picked" by them.
Don't settle. Don't accept every invite and don't allow yourself to be picked by every available candidate.
Remember your worth. Remember how God feels about you before making any rash decisions. We didn't even do anything to deserve God's love and amazing, undivided attention. (But yet we work harder for the approval of others instead of acknowledging the predestined approval of God)
Take a minute and bask in the freedom of being God's very own. To be a child of God makes you special. To be a friend of the King of Kings makes you privileged. You are His prized possession. Remind yourself daily.
If we meditated on God's precious thoughts of us..things probably wouldn't be easier but I'd bet we'd be a lot more wiser. We constantly battle with being FREE.
And I get it, we want to feel wanted by someone that's why we settled for "bae's potential". We want to be secure that's why we chose that job. We want to feel important that's why we can't loose ourselves of those friends that don't mean us no good. We want to be valued that's why we hang on to those people who are "beneath" us (for lack of better words) because they admire us.
Anytime that you place your joy, peace, love, hope, and security into anything other than God...you are NOT free. You are ROBBING yourself of experiencing what God has for you. Any time you are lead by emotions instead of wisdom, you are placing yourself in bondage exposing yourself to your situation instead of being hidden and tucked in God's wing.
God has called you to a life of freedom (that's your abundance) and has chosen you to be an example (that's His glory).
Please... open up your gift of freedom by opening your word so that God can affirm you.
If you're reading this blog and you don't know God, don't fret! You have the invite to live this free life as well! Just confess aloud: "I confess with my mouth and believe in my heart that Jesus is Lord. I believe that Jesus died on the cross for me and that He rose for me."
If you've made this declaration - HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU JESUS! I AM BEYOND EXCITED FOR YOU!! ANGELS ARE REJOICING IN HEAVEN!!! GOD SAYS, "I LOVE YOU. WELCOME HOME."
Father God, in the name of Jesus, I pray over everyone who reads this blog today that they will be loosed from their situations and circumstances. I pray that the person reading this will find the freedom in being your child and being your friend. They will be sure of your sovereignty and absolutely convinced of your love. Thank you God that after reading this blog, they will walk in the abundance you've called them to live and will be chosen for your glory. Thank You Father for your word that says who the Son sets free is free indeed. I claim victory over the person life who's reading this post. They will be free in every area of their lives, in the name of Jesus!
AMEN"
Until next time,
I LOVE YOU!
P.S. I've composed this post from my phone, the reason why the links to the bible verses look the way they do. So tacky, I know!! *SCREAMS*
