Many of us have gone through difficult things and some of us are going through them right now. Those things qualify us to help take someone else through them too. Even Jesus gained experience through the things He suffered.
Nothing you have been through will be wasted. Remember, there are no short-cuts to anyplace worth going. The long road is also where God teaches us things we wouldn't learn otherwise.
Whatever you have been through, or are going through at the moment, can all be used for good in God's Kingdom. The question is: Will you let your mess be used by God to become your message to help someone else get through their difficult times?
We all have a story to tell. I've been thinking about Jesus, how His story and ideas have spread around the whole world. But He started it all by pouring His life into just 12 men. Big things from small things.
God does and can use all circumstances in our lives for His glory. Most of all He does His best work in the messiest situations.
I am not capable, but God's spirit in me is very capable! I don't know how. None of us really do. But the beauty of Jesus is that He never asks us to figure all of life out. He simply says, follow Him.
We need to stop thinking about ourselves....there is so much hurt in the world, people really need a touch from the Lord. When we fear rejection or what others think, it can keep us from sharing His love with them and they need His love.
God shows up in the dark times just as He is present in the light, but sometimes we hesitate to expose our challenges and struggles for fear of embarrassment or rejection. I try to avoid building these walls because I want people to know God's grace in their lives and those are the moments we need it most!
Shine your light for Jesus today! Let God turn your mess into your ministry.
Blessings,
Dalinda
