It’s Your Turn!
By Dianna Hobbs
Hey! It’s Dianna, giving you some soul food to get you through your day. I woke up this morning with a lot of things on my mind. There’s one thought in particular that, I want to share with you today. That is, at some point you have to stop sitting back, watching others, live their purpose. You have to seize your opportunity.
It’s your turn.
I sincerely believe that, there’s no way that you’ll be fulfilled if you don’t begin taking steps toward what God has called you to do. Aren’t you tired of being in the same situation? Not using your creative gifts? Not living life to the fullest? Well, you don’t have to go through life breathing on the glass, window shopping. You can truly have the things you want.
I know from experience that if you can muster the confidence and strength to take those first steps, it’ll get easier. Before you know it, you’ll be accomplishing the things you’ve always dreamed about. But you first have to know that it’s possible for you. Internalize the fact that an amazing destiny and bright future awaits you, yes you.
You are not exempt. God hasn’t passed over you. Your time has not come and gone. It’s your season now, to tap into your divine gifts and talents to create the outcome you’ve been envisioning for yourself.
Here is what I want you to do. For a little while, just sit and think about the creative ideas God has placed inside you. Are you just letting them waste away because you’re afraid your attempts toward success won’t work out? Do you have those little negative, nagging voices in your head, telling you not to try? Do you feel paralyzed by your own insecurities and apprehensions?
Well, as Vickie Winans would say, “Shake yourself loose!” Recognize that you have nothing to fear because the Lord is with you. He gave you the vision in the first place. Whether you know it or not, He’s also given you the wherewithal to bring it into fruition. With His help, nothing is impossible to you. So, get out there and start doing something.
Here is a great quote for you to remember, “Success is never final and Failure never fatal. It’s courage that counts.” -George F. Tilton
Until next time . . . may you be empowered to prosper.
