But They Are.....
Imposter Syndrome is feelings of self-doubt and personal incompetence that persist despite your education, experience, and accomplishments. This is something that I have found myself battling any a couple areas of my life, especially in ministry. I struggled with condemnation for many years, and I felt like I had forfeited the right to be used by God. This resulted in me not feeling worthy to carry out the assignments that God was calling me too. I have given God suggestions of who I thought would be a better candidate for the job because surely, He had pulled the wrong resume. I could see all the good qualities in others, but I was unable to see them in myself. We can find ourselves feeling like others speak better, write better, are more intelligent, more anointed, or more deserving than we are. All the while He is calling us directly by name. God is sovereign and He has accounted for all our insecurities and inadequacies before He even sent the call.
Many of things that we wish we could discard, or erase are the very things that qualify us for the assignment. The areas of shame will be the same places that produces the most glory for Him. God has a track record of choosing those, that the world would deem as undeserving to do great exploits for His kingdom. He is not looking for those who are perfect but instead for those who are willing to be used. He knew the who was calling when He dialed the number. Time to answer.

About this Plan
In today's society we face many opinions of how we should look, how we should think or be. It can be hard not compare what we look like, what we have or how we act to others but we must remember that God sets the standard for our lives and not the world. He made each of us unique and it is Him that assigns our identity.
