About For the Glory of God
Mark 16:15 – And then He told them, “Go into all the world and preach the Good News to everyone.”
Spreading God’s word throughout the four corners of the world has been on my checklist for a long time. Of course, I didn’t know the format I was going to use or what I was going to call it, but God kept nudging the strong desire into my heart, and of course, time after time, I kept ignoring it.
Yes, I know. It was one excuse after the other hoping God would change His mind and give me another assignment. After all, there are plenty more qualified people than me, and they do an amazing job. So Jesus, why, why, why me? I was seriously like a two-year-old having a tantrum holding on to the parent’s leg while walking. Yes, embarrassing enough that was me holding on to Jesus pleading – why me?
What held me back?
Fear. Yes, I feared I would be judged or sound unconventional. When I decided on a website as my platform, I did not want to complete it until it was “perfect” when in reality, I knew it would never be because apart from Jesus, no one is perfect, but I take joy in the fact that God loves me (and you) with all my imperfections.
God knows it’s not going to be perfect. He does not expect perfection from any of us. However, He will guide me to post what others need to hear to change a situation or even lives. Yes, I will mess up, and there will be people who don’t like my website, message, or products. They will criticize me, and I am finally at peace with it because being “afraid” is exactly what I should be afraid of, not God’s love, guidance, or purpose for my life.
I’ve been a believer in God all my life; however, I realized my faith was shaky as I grew older. Like many women, I believed I could do it all; yet I shook with fear, I thought I had it all under control, yet I worried about everything. I often advised people to believe and have faith, yet I often wondered if God had forgotten about me.
I am human, and sometimes my thoughts migrate to a place of fear, worry, and other ugly emotions contaminate my soul and unsettle my heart. My faith is also challenged when God asks me to give up my comfort to do something new (like this website). Now, when these unsettling thoughts or other negative feelings creep into my mind, I have learned to recognize it’s evil trying to take me away from my place of peace. I immediately take control by asking God to help me keep my thoughts centered on the right things through the power of prayer so that I may experience real peace and help others by spreading His word.
