My Beloved, You Were Meant for More Than This.

Sometimes when you take a moment to breathe, let life slow down and you allow yourself to let the events swarming around you soak in, you wonder why in the world you're in this position again. You can't be upset with anyone but yourself because you know the reason you're back in this spot is because you were the one that put yourself there... AGAIN. You were your own inhibitor. Ouch. I often try and rationalize this realization by telling myself that hey, maybe I'm supposed to be back in this position again because everything happens for a reason, right? Well, my friends, I am queen of excuse making. Let me just tell you that while God will take our circumstances and use them for His glory in the end, I do not believe I was SUPPOSED to end up repeating this cycling never moving past a certain point and onward to where God is waiting for me to show up. I mean really, ain't nobody like a broken record! Holla! In other words, In my self inhibiting practices I have held myself back from the things God has for me past this very point I so easily get drawn back to. God will use this place I'm at to teach and instruct me further because He will make a purpose for all things; however, I believe it's about time I quit letting myself get sucked back in. If you're completely lost, no worries. Maybe this next part will help.

Amidst all of this, God has placed this very phrase on my heart... "You were meant for more than this". SAY WHAT???? Yes, The Lordt had said to me that this sista was meant for MORE! Whew!!! You know what? He's right. I know I know, imagine that. You and I were meant for so much more! More than just being a comfortable, lukewarm christian, more than becoming tolerant of things so readily accepted in this world, more than being a drunk, more than being a drug addict, more than being an unfaithful spouse, more than being a compulsive liar, more than being nothing else other than a sunday school going, church pew warming christian! It is time to wake up! WAKE UP and KNOW God is saying to YOU, MY BELOVED, YOU WERE MADE FOR MORE THAN THIS!!! And oh my soul, Hallelujah for that! Don't ignore that calling.

After having that phrase spoken over and over to me lately, you know what God did?? You know wha he had did?! lol. He had laid it on an author for Proverbs 31 ministries heart and I got an email of the daily devo and guess what? She had that VERY phrase laid on her heart years ago! Uhmm, ok Lord.... I HEAR YA! haha. My friends, the creator is waiting for you. Don't be your own inhibitor.

1 Peter 2:9-10
(NIV)
⁹But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people belonging to God, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light. ¹⁰Once you were not a people, but now you are the people of God; once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy.


(The Message)
 ^9-10But you are the ones chosen by God, chosen for the high calling of priestly work, chosen to be a holy people, God's instruments to do his work and speak out for him, to tell others of the night-and-day difference he made for you—from nothing to something, from rejected to accepted.




Father,
   Give me strength for today and a hope for tomorrow. I know I am too weak to move past things on my own or push onward without You. You are my strength, you are my hope. I pray You be ever vocal in the next steps of my life. I am ready to move onward for I know that I was made for more than this. I want to live my life for You only. Break my heart for what it is that breaks Yours.  Help me remain a woman after your heart and your will. I truly want nothing less. I want to constantly be moving forward, learning new things and experiencing you in more incredible ways than before. Never let me forget that I am created for great things to bring you glory.
Amen
