Lessons Learned...

I spent years doubting my abilities because I didn't feel supported by my loved ones. I wanted them to love what I had shown I could do. I had plenty short comings along the way, and much to learn, but I also had done the work and had allowed the passion that I have for what I love to push me to study more! Along the way, I got side tracked by the lies that I wasn't good enough because I was constantly being questioned about what I could do.

The fact is:
James 1:17 New King James Version 
17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning.

God's truths are NOT just for a moment, when we receive Christ and nuture our personal relationship with Him we can study to know that His Word says:

Hebrews 11:6 New King James Version
6 But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.

Hebrews 12 New King James Version 
12 ... let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, 2 looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

If I miss the point that He rewards me when I seek Him, and I only have seek Him first so that the truth of who I am and what I am capable of shines and of course He will get the glory... I feel like I'm rambling, but these are clear thoughts... I do my part because He has already done His. I can NOT see what He has for me unless I seek Him, but when I do, He delivers... and He delivers because He does NOT and CAN NOT lie (it really is written in His Word).

So in fact the lie is believing I'm less than what He has created me to be. I will be driven by what He's placed in front of me, pushing me to my greatness! So everything I do in His name and as a result of what He's given me will be perfection!

I pray that this helps someone who has doubted their gifts... let go and release the thoughts that the enemy has planted and walk in the knowledge that God makes NO mistakes, and everything He does IS perfection!

Be encouraged, your best is yet to come!
