Some time ago , I heard about a public speaker who was addressing a large audience at a business convention.The speaker began his talk by asking the group, How many times do you think a person tries to achieve a new goal before they give up? One man in the audience ,called out,ten times! Another person in the crowd replied ," five". a few people mumbled,"three or four times?"
The speaker shook his head from side to side and said ,"the answer ,on average ,is just once." God has entrusted you with extraordinary gifts and talents with which to bless the world.You have unique abilities and the inborn strength to achieve your goals and fulfill every God -inspired dream that is in your heart.God made you for a purpose,to accomplish something great and he wants you to maximize your potential,and move toward the divine purpose He has for your life
Although ,through the years ,disappointments , mistakes and negative circumstances ,perhaps , have taken their toll.Plans do not go as expect.We fall on hard times.And mounting problems seem to overtake us,until we're pushed down and down and down ,'til we just give up.
But,even if the odds are stacked against you,don't abandon hope.Try again,for God is not finished with you yet.No matter how tough the terrain ,shake off discouragement and step up too advancement.Perhaps, someone you trusted let you down.Shake it off and take a step.God has new friendships , new relationships and new joys in which to bless you."the path of the righteous shines brighter and brighter"Proverbs 4:18
Possibly , you had a bad start in life ,Shake it off and take a step. Where you came from where you are going, are two different places."God will restore to you the years that the locust has eaten"Joel 2:25. Don't settle for less than what you truly want for your future.Keep striving, following your heart , and allowing your faith to press you forward.Scripture says,"According to your faith , be it unto you." So have faith in God and enough confidence in yourself and in your bright future to keep on going after your good aspirations.You have come too far;you've worked too hard , and sacrificed too much to give up on the desires of your heart now.
Remind yourself daily: "I will not allow a setback to hold me back,"I will prevail over temporary troubles." Like a letter we address , stamp , and then bring to the post office to send out to a friend, send out your words in the direction you want your life to go.Positively declare," step by step , God is guiding me to victory," "I will conquer this challenge , " and " oppurtunties are coming my way." God bless you ,as you take a 'step up' to the divine destiny He has in store.
