Be Done.
It has been a minute since I have posted anything on my social media, a ministry God has blessed and purposed me for. No one to blame but
myself. I have allowed interferences to occur with what God has called me to
do. I have allowed the devil to rob me of the "mission message" that God has
pulled me through to tell.
Today, I am going to be done with the distractions in my path. I am going
to be done with so many things. I am going to be done telling others over and
over to do the right thing, to be good and kind, to put actions behind their
words. To really love you with their actions and not just shallow words. I am
going to be done with following up and checking up and calling out those who
repeatedly and deliberately harm me. This is just the beginning, and my hope
is that you will do the same.
We are made for so much MORE than this.
Words are just words until they are backed up with true actions. Actions
require love and care, that next step effort, very few are willing to step out
on the ledge and do. If you are constantly receiving the SAME repetitive words
from someone, like a bone being thrown at you to keep you dangling in their
presence, be done.
Be strong enough to be done.
If they wanted to, they would.
You are not even on their radar when this constant behavior occurs, and it is
constant. We become blind and immune to it when it happens so often. They see
no value in you, and the words they use are for their own benefit to keep you
swaying. When they make their U turn back to you, after they tend to the
people and things that they do value, be done. Match that energy of the value
they do not see in you. Pray for them, at a distance, but be done with giving
your all to only be cheapened.
Jesus didn't create you to be 2nd best, to be used or devalued. You are a
prime masterpiece, and I know how hard it is to see in yourself when you are
fogged over by someone who is constantly boomeranging you for their own
benefits of gain. In Ephesians (3:12-13), Paul tells us- "When we
trust in Him, we’re free to say whatever needs to be said, bold to go wherever
we need to go. So don’t let my present trouble on your behalf get you down. Be
proud!"
It's okay to be bold, fearless, fierce, courageous, confident, daring, and
adventurous. Jesus was assertive. He would not have been successful with ANY
of the disciples if He had been passive, fearful, cowardly, and faint. He
calls us to be extraordinary and take risks. He does not call us to be used by
others and made to feel small. The devil is a liar and wants to keep us down.
Today, I am there. Down. Very down. In a pit. I have been lowly, fearful, beat
down, afraid, timid, and way too still. The only way out is up. I have spent
months upon months allowing this to occur in my life. Allowing circumstances
and individuals to clout my vision and purpose. My time, your time is
now. If not now, then when? Do not live in a life that is full of NOT
who you are. Follow the desires of your heart. They are put there for a
reason. Be who you are, express your values, and be loud about it. You never
know who you are going to minister to.
I intend to rise above the harm I have allowed to creep into my life, and I
hope that by being candid with where I am today will be encouraging to all of
you. It will be work, it will require setting boundaries, and I will need
honest and true love to guide me. Your journey could very well be my journey.
Recognizing where you are is the first deliberate step. Take it. Be done with
allowing things into your path that divide you from God and the deliberate
purpose He has for you.
