Your “Flaws” Are Your God-Given Strength

DAY 2 OF 3

I believe God created us with such intentionality that if we only knew, we’d be facedown in worship until we go to heaven. And not just the things we deem to be beautiful either. The “flaws” are intentional too. They’re all there to bring Him glory.

Years ago, I received clear direction from the Lord about a situation I felt led to help with. When I shared what was on my heart with someone whose opinion I valued, she said, “Oh, you’re just a rescuer, and that’s why you feel that way.”

I felt dismissed and labeled, and I struggled to figure out whether she was right.

Thankfully, a wise pastor counseled me and said, “So what if you are a rescuer? What if God put that in you to do this very job? What if this is the perfect attribute to help in this situation and it was intentional? What if God created you that way on purpose?”

I never saw it the same way again. Every attribute I have, I now see as God’s design. And every character trait (when under submission to God) is exactly what He intended.

It’s in me for a reason, no matter what others think or say about it. God put it there, so I’m going to seek Him for how to use it.

So, I want to ask you the same thing. What if the thing someone told you to stop doing is actually the most important part of who God made you to be?

When we are fully who God created us to be, He gets the glory because we can do the things He has put on our hearts, and that, my dear friend, is the whole reason you are here: to bring God glory.

About this Plan

Your “Flaws” Are Your God-Given Strength

You are NOT flawed, friend. It's easy to get caught up in the comparison game and the lies society tells us about our worth. But, it's important to remember that our worth is not determined by man-made metrics like SAT scores, job titles, and net worth. These hierarchies are lies and do not define who we are in God's eyes. In this encouraging plan we explore the truth of who God made you to be.
