From the Heart of God for you:
Do not fear. Do not look around you with suspicion.
Fix your eyes upon Me (Hebrews 12:2) and gain confidence in My abilities. Be confident in My love.
I answer you with bold confidence (Psalm 138:3). Stand up into that confidence even before you feel it to be true. Take the step of faith and watch Me meet it. I will rise up in you, and you will experience the weak becoming strong. My power is perfected in your weakness (2 Corinthians 12:9), so you need not be afraid of the weakness or of what you see as current shortcomings.
The I AM stands with you and makes the difference. I Am the One Who changes everything, THE Difference Maker.*
You will go and do what you have not been able to even think up, as I do far more abundantly than anything you can imagine with My power working through you (Ephesians 3:20). Just take the leaps of faith. I love to meet My people there.
Take risks.
I know that sounds scary, but they cause rejoicing in your soul. You were created for that wild adventure, the adventure of accomplishing the impossible through My saving strength and ability already placed within you in the Holy Spirit.
Take risks, which cause you to totally rely upon Me. And produce change, which satisfies your soul and brings rest and joy.
You don’t have to come up with the plan. In the moment of need you will know what to do and will have the courage needed for the moment.
Just keep following My lead. Trust My voice. Study My word. And walk in My ways.
You can.
You can do all things and run with endurance and perseverance. Tapping into My strength (Philippians 4:13), you need never give up.
Tap into His faith. He has plenty to give.
* He is THE Difference Maker (Exodus 3:11-12, In answer to Moses’ question, ‘Who am I?’ God’s answer was, “Certainly I will be with you..”, It’s His same answer in Exodus 4:12, Judges 6:6, 2 Samuel 5:10, Acts 18:9,10, Jeremiah. 1:8). This is why we can do the impossible that He asks of us. He is with us.
Friend,
May we be unafraid because we trust Him more and more. Let’s go do what He calls us to do, even when it feels risky. And may we cheer one another on!
Cheering for you,
Traci
