You know how woman have different groups of friends? I've never been that person, all of my friends know each other. We don't all gather at the same time, I'm very protective of the people I know, because I hold their struggles, triumphs, burdens and the proclivities they have shared with me. So at different times, I invite different ones to gather as God shall lead. Something most of my friends do very well, is they never miss an opportunity to pour into me or to celebrate me. It's something that germinates through our circle and when we gather it's always an opportunity to say You Leave Me in AWE.
I noticed recently that I wanted to pour into a friend but I stopped. I stopped because I wasn't familiar with how her friends loved on her. I didn't want to make anyone else uncomfortable so I didn't do, or I wasn't who she knows me to be. God revealed to me this morning that in that moment I was in disobedience. It was HIM who was calling me to display His love, to His daughter, in that space. That He'd entrusted me with this mantle of encouragement and inspiration because I'm bold enough, surrendered enough, humbled enough and grateful enough to do HIS WILL ANYWHERE. but only, I'm NOT! Sister's because I did not.
Do you look like YOU, ALL THE TIME? or do you look differently to different groups? Do you look like the christian you are on Sunday, on Wednesday in rush hour traffic, with $21.00 in your bank account with bills past due?
God said very plainly to me "Never miss an opportunity daughter, to be who I sent you to be." Someone in that space needed, exactly what I am, but they didn't receive it because I wasn't willing to make anyone uncomfortable. Jesus, His faith, His parables, His audacity made people uncomfortable and it's the reason He was hung on a cross. We all have our cross to carry, there are things we've experienced, sins we've committed, family strong holds, etc. that make our cross heavy to carry at different times but our WHY is always strong enough to keep us pushing no matter the load. Someone needs your audacity, it's how they will see the boldness He gives us when we trust him.
Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do
not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God
will be with you wherever you go.
Joshua 1:9
LEAVE EM IN AWE
