"..being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ..." (Phil. 1:6).
Kamala Harris is a great example of someone who out-weighed the odds in her life. In many ways, her life is no different than some of our lives. We experienced being raised in single family homes. We also had to work odd jobs just to make ends meet. Some of us had to push through the shame of rape, molestation, having children BEFORE marriage, multiple mates, and several divorces.
Some of us have strayed away from our faith in hopes to achieve something greater and more palpable. "The Parable of the Lost Son" is a good example of someone who lost their spiritual direction (Luke 15:11-32). Read it! Then take a moment to search your heart to see if you have strayed away from your purpose. At some point, and if the truth be told, all of us have experienced brief spiritual breakdowns. Despite all the obstacles, we must be confident that "He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ." The word "confident" or "certain" means to have full conviction or assurance. We must know that whatever God has ordained for our lives, we can be confident and assured that it will happen. We can never underestimate the power of God's divine plan for our lives.
God is so AMAZING because He constantly extends His grace towards us. He patiently waits for us to "come to our senses." When our families give up on us, God continues to pursue us because He knows "the plan that He have for us, not to harm us but to give us an expected end." (Jer. 29:11).
Woman of God, perhaps you are feeling hopeless and lonely because of your lifestyle. You feel like noting is working out the way that you planned. But you need to know that your past does NOT determine your future. God already have your future in His hands. But you got to first, trust Jesus as your Savior, and commit to living a life that pleases HIM and NOT people. To make a change will require you to make some serious choices.
Remember....""..being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ..." (Phil. 1:6)."
For His glory....
