Believe to be Capable
There’s a lot of competition in this world. Product ads on TV, magazines, or billboards always say that we don’t have enough. They always say we are not good enough. There’s an inflated standard that we are deceptively told to aspire to.
Being better than we are is a good goal, especially for my child. I want her to be better than me. I want her to be more successful than me. However, all of that improvement has to be for something greater than herself. It has to be for God and others.
I have to show her to develop her gifts. I need to help her discover her gifts. I have to give her all of the opportunities. She will not be successful in everything, but she will shine in some things. Those will be God’s given talent. Those will be her purpose and ministry. As she develop her talent and confidence, she’ll be capable to take on mountains!
I long to see you so that I may impart to you some spiritual gift to make you strong— that is, that you and I may be mutually encouraged by each other’s faith.
