“I thought I’d be there by now,”
Have we subscribed to the false belief that success is directly related to building something huge and meaningful for the masses.
We Wonder Why isn’t my ministry booming? . There must be something wrong with me as a person and a leader.
Do you feel like you are stalled.
Has the stress from thinking you would be there by now caused you to adopt the look of the leader who doesn’t know what to do next? You know...that look.
My problem is comparison, and it torments me. I often allow myself to view the success of others as a measure of whether I believed I was a success or a failure.
By admitting I thought I’d be there by now, I allowed Jesus to unveil the false beliefs behind the shame I had lived under continuously. Can you relate? Maybe your story is similar. If so, I understand.
Friend, please stop giving up on yourself. Don’t quit. I promise there is hope, healing, and restoration waiting for you. Now that you are willing to confront your situation, let’s work together to get you moving forward along the path that Jesus has for you. You have so much fruitfulness waiting for you in the days ahead
20 Now may the God of peace, who brought up from the dead our Lord Jesus—the great Shepherd of the sheep—through the blood of the everlasting covenant,
21 equip you with everything good to do his will, working in us what is pleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen.
