Living Deeply Rootedనమూనా

Don’t you dare think you aren’t good enough because things may not have worked out the way you wanted them to. Rejection has happened to the best of us, but that has never been a good reason for us to give up. I’ve been rejected by men, jobs, ministries, people, etc. But if I gave up because of it, I wouldn’t be where I am today. I wouldn’t have learned the importance of not compromising or settling because I didn’t receive what I thought was meant for me. You see, God always has a way of making something greater than anything we could have imagined.. We sometimes get so caught up in the why, the disappointments, the pain of rejection, we can’t see it as a blessing in disguise. We tend to forget that God has a way of protecting us from something that we thought we needed. So I encourage you to continue to keep persevering.

You are my friends if you do what I command. JOHN 15:14 NIV

Lord, I ask that You would give me the strength to follow Your commands. I know that You love me, and I love You, too, and I desire for my obedience to be a reflection of Your love. Your Word says that if I am Your friend, I will obey commands, and I know Your commands are only to help me, not to harm me. So I desire the courage to follow Your commands every day, showing You and others that I love You so much.
