Never Give Up

The Enemy is busy. He does not want us to live purposeful lives. So he constantly tries to discourage us from doing exactly what we are created to do. Michael Jordan one of the greatest basketball players ever was not always the best. In 9th grade he was cut from his basketball team. He was rejected, he failed, he was humbled. What if he took that rejection and never played basketball again? That is exactly what the enemy wanted him to do. He wanted him to run from his dreams and accept mediocrity. But something inside of him would not let him quit. He persevered and the greatness in him shined.

How about you? Is there something that you have failed at that deep down you know you are destined to do? Have you been rejected as being not worthy and inadequate by others? God has a great purpose for your life that only you can fulfill. Don't give up. Don't quit. It is your divine destiny to become all that God has created you to be. Don't let the enemy trick you into thinking that God has no purpose for you. Don't get caught up doing things that have nothing to do with your calling. But depend on God, lean on His Word and allow Him to show Himself strong in you. God bless you.

But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. Matthew 24:13

And so, after he had patiently endured, he obtained the promise. Hebrews 6:15

  2. The enemy is trying to keep us distracted but Michelle something inside you(God/divine purpose) is greater than anything that comes against you. God has really been working on me to trust Him and not allow what the enemy says to dictate what I do. Thank you for your comment. God bless you.
