Give thanks to God! It is for His glory we accomplish the truly amazing things in life!

Want to hear something funny? Deep down I think I am afraid of letting God down. How funny is that? Being charged with a purpose of sharing His word with the world, and yet being afraid that in my most needed moment I would fail Him. The curse of doubt.

And also, don't forget the curse of being an individual with choices. It is truly a blessing, but we convince ourselves otherwise. Why? Because the ownership of one's actions and the accountability of holding one's self responsible requires an understanding of one's purpose and belief. How much easier is it to just let someone else dictate to you what you need to do. But is this freedom?

Trying to fight through life without God is a miserable game. You become limited by yourself. Your growth becomes stunted. Imagine trying to grow a seed, but without water.

Which brings up the powerful insight: No matter how much time and effort you go into preparing the ground and planting the seed. No amount of water and sunlight will ever make it grow...that wholly remains up to God.

Submit to Him, and begin experiencing growth in ways that could never had happened otherwise.

Jesus replied, "Go back and report to John what you hear and see: The blind receive sight, the lame walk, those who have leprosy are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the good news is proclaimed to the poor. Blessed is anyone who does not stumble on account of me."

Matthew 11: 4-6 NIV
