God created us to live in relationship with Him. Our identity is sealed as a result of that relationship. God created us to be His image bearers put on earth to influence everyone to whom we relate. We were not created to stay isolated in our comfort zone.
Jesus Christ has made a radical difference in our lives. He calls us to be shining lights in our dark and deceived world. In order for us to shine we need to abandon our comfort zones. If we stay stuck in a comfort zone controlled by fear and a desire to be comfortable at all costs, we are like a mighty lion living in a caged area at the zoo. We may be comfortable, but we are not really experiencing the fullness of life.
We fail to move out of our comfort zones because we are waiting for our anxiety to go away. If you wait until you're ready, you will never do it. The only way to be fully alive is to feel the fear, the anxiety, and do it anyway. Be scared to death and do what you have to do! I believe that when we stare fear in the face, our faith increases.
Faith is not the absence of fear. Faith involves facing your fears and moving out in God's power, despite those fears.
Women, who put their trust in God, know they accomplish things not because of their fabulous potential, but because they are willing to be vessels used by the Lord. They are willing to risk failure and criticism. They are also aware that failure and success are only temporary.
We are willing to risk because we are not trying to prove ourselves. Our significance and value has already been declared through Jesus Christ.
God delights in using human beings with their limitations and inadequacies who are willing to be used.
The self -confident woman knows who she is because she knows whose she is.
In Him,
Dalinda
