Pick up Your Cross

Send us Fan MailToday I doing something a little bit different. I normally have something written out that I can go off of that I want to explain to you or share with you that God puts on my heart. But God spoke to me, and no, I don't hear God's voice like somebody coming into my ear. It's more like He puts things on my heart or gives me like a feeling. And that brings me to what I'm going to talk about today. I'm going in a whole different direction. Normally I would give you something that God has given me that I've heard, listened to, watched, or just happened to be put on my heart. But as I was watching other podcasts, listening to other podcasts, I started thinking about how I am just like you. I struggle, I fall, I fail, I sin, I continually compare myself to others, I'm a perfectionist, and I want everything to be perfect.  God has given me so many different gifts. He's given me the gift of art. He's given me the gift of being able to make something out of nothing. He's given me the gift of when I do learn something, I perfect it. And I don't know if that's a downfall on my part, because I always look back and think about how I am not good enough. That somebody's better than me. Somebody did it better than me. Who's going to want my stuff? Who's going to look at my stuff and think, oh, she does that so great? But that, I just want to let you know, is a lie. The devil keeps telling you, because you are perfect. You are great. And God made you in his image. Just like it says in Psalms 139.4. You are going to fall. You're going to drop your cross. You're going to continue to keep failing at things. But that is the lesson that God wants you to have. So that you can either pick yourself up, or God will pick you up. Because God is always with you. Bible Psalms 139:4Jeremiah 29James 1:31 Peter 4:111 Corinthians 10:312 Corinthians 12:9Romans 3:23Romans 5:31 John 4:7Phillipians 4:13I thank you for your support. I thank you for listening.  I just want to say, none of this would be possible without God. So until next time, keep Bibling, keep spreading God's word, and open your ear, your hearts and your mind, pick up that cross and allow God in.  I do not have the right to this music.
