God Has Positioned Us High And Lifted Up

Do you dare believe it? That often times is just where the problem is. We don’t see that we have been placed at such a high elevation. We don’t view ourselves above life circumstances. We become like the little bird whose cage door is wide open but who never flies out because he doesn’t know he can fly.

My primary job is to let the Creator shape me into who He wants me to become. He knows how much potential I have when I am put together properly.

God's vision is so different from ours. He examines us and sees the potential that others might not recognize. God looks at each of us and sees what we can become if we will only yield ourselves to His purposes.

God is able to do for us exceeding abundantly above what we ask or think, and we are in danger of limiting Him, when we confine our desires and prayers to our own thoughts of them. The trials of life will either prove our lives are flavored by God or they will reveal how much we truly lack. Will I trust God enough to see me through to the other side even when I can’t see the edge?

Remember, the walk of faith is a blind one. You may not be able to see where you are, but He sees, and you’re closer than you think.

God's plan, in God's time, with God's people always produces fruit, but that doesn't mean we won't stumble and fall on our way.

There is a seed in each of us, and God is our amazing botanist. He will nurture, water, fertilize and provide us all the sunshine we need to grow. But I need to be a humble seed and allow the Botanist to germinate me into the wonderful thing He wants me to be. I need not envy all the other flowers, grasses and trees in the field, for I am special – so special – in exactly who God wants me to be.

Romans 8:28 says, “ALL things work together for good to those who love the Lord, who are called according to His purposes.”......ALL things – even your trials and afflictions.

When our spiritual eyes are opened to this incredible truth, we will automatically see from a very different perspective. We will begin to realize that we are no longer looking from the bottom up but instead, we are looking from the top down. And boy what a view!

Blessings,
Dalinda
