Confidence (Photo credit: wherefishsing)

I am confident that God has called you – and has promised to strengthen you – to do this work. So don’t waste any more days. God will do something special with your life if you will exercise faith in living out your purpose.  If you discover how he has gifted you and where he’s calling you, and if you glimpse what he’s up to, your confidence will grow with deep roots, roots that will see you through the droughts of doubt and the winters of wondering why you’re here on this earth. Move boldly into your future, my friend, infused with confidence that the Creator of the universe made you unlike anyone else for a special purpose that is yours alone.

Wise Words For Today

God is not limited by our regrets, by our lack of confidence, by our confusion, or by our uncertainty. He has placed seeds of greatness in each person he’s created; he’s made us in his image to accomplish amazing feats. Each of us has a vision; some of us are dreaming dreams. All of us have the ability to turn away, but God’s purpose will provide a clear pathway to a better future……And, as Peter, Samuel, and David illustrate for us, God uses ordinary people – with all their flaws and problems – to accomplish extraordinary dreams. You and I don’t have to wait until we have it all together, achieve a certain degree of fame, earn a specified amount of money, get a better job, or meet the right person. Instead, we can start today to embrace who we are and how God made us, knowing that he will use us. From this knowledge, wellsprings of confidence water our hearts. That confidence allows us to see our dreams and visions as God’s road maps to significant lives. And, at the very moment we recognize and acknowledge his plans in our present, we begin to establish an eternal foundation for our confidence.
