You keep every promise you’ve ever made to me! Since your love for me is constant and endless, I ask you, Lord, to finish every good thing that you’ve begun in me! Psalm 138:8 Passion Translation
I love when Kim Walker in her song, You Define Me, belts out “Only your words define me. You tell me who I am!” How differently would our hearts react if we only let God’s words define us and direct our steps?
The truth is God has placed a passion, purpose, gift inside our heart that was meant to be expressed and when that is held back from being set free because of fear, we struggle with a discontentment we can’t quite explain. In Romans we are promised that the purpose God designed specifically for our hearts to hold can never be “rescinded”. No matter what has happened to you, no matter how many times you feel you have failed, the purpose God gave to you is always in there waiting to be shared with his world.
“And when God chooses someone and graciously imparts gifts to him, they are never rescinded.” Romans 11:29
I was blown away by this as I read it. To rescind means to “revoke” or “cancel”. What a promise we have here from God in Romans. Pause for a moment and re-read it – let it soak into your heart. God is saying to you right now in this moment, “The passion, the purpose I put in your heart I promise to never take it away from you -NO MATTER WHAT!”- He will never cancel it, or say, “Oh, I guess I was wrong she isn’t good enough for this.” Girl you gotta understand, the purpose he has placed within your heart, he’ll never take it back. That is not the kind of God he is. He always believes the best in you and knows that what he placed in you, you can become!
Preacher, Shawn Bolt, puts it this way, “The calling of God will never return void in your life. If you just partner your faith with Him, no matter what, it will get awesome!”
Don’t let the enemy of your destiny lie to you any longer. You have a purpose in your heart just waiting to change the world around you and nothing can take that away from you! No one gets to define you, but the God who designed you. Break free from discontentment by boldly shining your light in this world!
Be Bold – Be a LIGHT!!!!
