I have had a lot on my heart lately: a calling to do big things that only could be done with the help of God. With these dreams laid out in front of me I have found Satan working overtime in my life telling me that I am not good enough, not strong enough, not smart enough, and completely inadequate. He is wrong, right? No, he is right.. I am not good enough, but I am a perfect candidate for God to use me.
But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me.
2 Corinthians 12:9 (NIV)
Through all my weaknesses God shows how powerful He actually is. God qualifies the called instead of calling the qualified. I don't have everything together; I am not perfect. Yet, this allows God to work even more in my life. I must rely on God to work through me in order to accomplish things. This is exactly how God intended things to be: sole reliance on Him and not ourselves.
I am excited to see what God is going to do with my imperfect self!
It is humbling to know that God has chosen me.

The trust that he has in us is so infinite, yet our trust in him seems to always fall short. Why is that? We are sinners, we screw up, we fall short, and we will always mess up yet he still believes in us. He ALWAYS loves, ALWAYS protects, ALWAYS cares, and is ALWAYS right, and some how we lose our trust in Him at times... I know this is a random thought going through my mind right now but why? We should have trust and faith in Him as strong as He has in us because He will never let us down.
