A friend and I were going over our biggest lessons in 2015. If this year didn’t teach me anything else, I realized that God is Consistent! The enemy tries to confuse us and uses our situations and circumstances to make us think God’s not consistent, but he is. We are not! I was not.
I have been inconsistent with God all my life, and because of this, I sometimes fell for the enemy’s tricks. I had doubts and even showed little faith at times. I wouldn’t put in the work. I became the queen of start and stop. It took this year to show me my problem was me. God always has and always will come through for us all. We as people drop the ball.
This year, I learned who loves me and who does not. Also, who my friends were and who was not. More than that, I learned what love is not! Consistently, I received lesson after lesson, which came with blessing after blessing. Jesus stayed with me through it all. It’s as if I heard him whisper, “Now, do you understand?”
As I go into 2016 with many conquers behind; I challenge myself to conquer believing in myself. No more questioning myself, talents, or faith. No more letting others opinions reign. My goal is to not just know God has a purpose for me but to actually believe in myself enough to fulfill that purpose!
Jerimiah 29:11 For I know the plans that I have for you,’ declares the LORD, ‘plans for well-being, and not for calamity, in order to give you a future and a hope.
