We were each gifted strengths from God. Do you know what yours are? Are you willing to learn more about each of them? Are you confident in yourself enough to admit them aloud?
Discovering my strengths has always been something of interest to me. It's not something I do enough of, but there have been several specific times in my life that I dove deeper into learning more about myself. No, this is not a selfish thing for you to be doing so go ahead and tell Satan to BACK OFF. Investing in yourself is not only necessary to serving yourself, but you are doing those around you a disservice by not doing so. For example, when I miss a day of training, I am doing a disservice to my family because I tend to be more irritable and sluggish and in turn cannot give them my best self. Making time to get my 'sweat sesh' in has proven to be of utmost importance in my daily life in order to serve all those I do well. You simply cannot serve others to your full potential without also serving and caring for yourself and your daily needs.
Take time to learn about yourself over the next few weeks with me. Follow along with me on this journey, and let's learn how to be better servants by learning about ourselves. We're going to hone our focus on remaining "IN CHRIST" while learning how to better serve and meet the needs of those around us by growing and developing our own personal strengths.
Take a few minutes to list some of your strengths...and GO!
Was that hard for you? Why?
"I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." Philippians 4:13
BELIEVE IT, ya'll. Stop. Take a deep breathe. Refocus your attention to our task at hand. BACK OFF SATAN. Now, reread that scripture with confidence.
IN CHRIST, we find our strength. We can confidently dive into our souls and dig out those strengths he's gifted us with because it is HE who choses our gifts, our talents, our strengths. It is CHRIST who "knit me together in my mother's womb". We are EXACTLY THE WAY HE WANTED US TO BE.
Let's praise him today for our strengths.
I pray that we can erase the false words that Satan feeds us to try to convince us we are ungifted and constantly lacking. LIES.
No one else can be used to make a difference in the world the way you can.
Ask, Seek, and Find.
Lord, I pray that you will reveal each of our particular strengths so that we may focus on the positives in our lives. I pray that you will use us to fulfill your glory through our strengths. Jesus move in us and build up confidence that we are lacking. Keep Satan far from us as we seek to know you more and serve ourselves and others using the strengths you created in us.
seeking strengths,
reagan
