"God would not give you the dream or the desire in your heart if He did not also give you the talent and abilities to make that dream come true."
This quote has been my anthem lately. As I've stepped out in faith and walked through incredible doors God has presented before me. The last few weeks have been nothing short of miraculous.
It's truly amazing what blessings He brings when you remain faithful in Him.
As I began to think more about that quote, I thought, "Well what about those in the world who have such passion to do something and can't seem to make that dream a reality. Those with the interest to sing, act, paint, write, etc....they try and they try and they try, yet nothing ever comes of it.
I believe it is because when you are not chasing after something pure, innocent, of God, FOR God, ultimately, you will fail.
I also think rejection is Gods way of saying "wrong door".

For instance, those trying out for American Idol or any other "talent" reality show, what are they after?
Glorifying the kingdom of God? No. Their hearts are after things of this world, such as fame, money, self glory. Not all, but most are chasing a life of selfishness and worldliness.
And that is why they fail at things they want so desperately.
When we are pursuing things of righteousness instead of pleasures of this world, God will surpass what we believe is even possible.

We cannot fail, because when God gives you such a passion, He makes a promise in your heart, and God comes though on His promises.
Where humans have the ability to fall short on a promise.
God cannot. He cannot lie.
And though we cannot see it yet, He is at work.
Though we feel we are insufficient and inadequate in the natural, He is moving in the spirit.
At times it may even seem like we lack the things we need to fulfill our calling and our dreams, but through each and every insignificant encounter and random moment, God is piecing together a puzzle, He is creating in you the necessary tools and strength you will need to do His wonders.
"If we let Him, God will shake us until we are unshakeable"
"If we let Him, God will shake us until we are unshakeable"
God teaches me something new about faith everyday, He is constantly speaking to my heart, gently whispering to my spirit, revealing things to me, and giving me strength.
This blog is meant to exalt Him as well as lift up my fellow brothers and sisters.
I hope your spirit was lifted and worry cast out.
Beautiful plans await us, marvelous things are setting the scene for what is and is yet to come!

I love this, Kristen! It makes me rethink all my plans I've made for myself and my future and see that I need to focus myself on what God would have me do.
