Psalm 139:14 says "I am fearfully and wonderfully made" but how many of us truly belive that? How many times do we find ourselves saying, "I cant" "I am not good enough" I am not strong enough" "That's not for me" "It's too hard" without ever really trying, let alone diving right in? It is so easy for us as humans to look in the mirror and without hesitation, see directly into our faults, our weaknesses and our shortcomings. We bypass all the amazing features and characteristics that belong solely to us, created by the hand of our Almighty God. 2 Timothy 1:7 states "For God did not give us a spirit of timidity, but a spirit of power, of love and of self-discipline." We are creatures hand carved by the one true and perfect God, why would he leave anything out? The truth is, he didn't! He equips us with everything we need for every challenge we face throughout our lives including courage, power, wisdom, strength, and endurance. The problem is us. We allow our eyes to lead us because we depend on the things we can see and grasp, instead of letting our hearts lead us by faith and trust in the Lord. God is patiently waiting on us. Waiting on us to simply belive; to belive that within us lies more than enough. More than enough strength to fight our battles; more than enough courage to stand up for what we believe; more than enough power to fight our temptations; more than enough wisdom to make the right choices; and more than enough endurance to finish our race! He never gives us more than we can handle, and when we hit the point where we can't take it anymore, he shows us the way out. Thats the kind of God we belong to! One who's love is so deep, we can drown in it! He will never leave us and that gives us every reason to embrace the butterflies and dive in!
