Whom He Calls He Qualifies

I let fear hold me back from the things i know that i am capable of. I find myself working hard at things that seem impossible for a person like me to only in the end to get close and not follow through. I am okay with being good but I'm afraid to be great. I let my faults define me sometimes. I let the things i didn't do in the past affect my future. One day i came to the realization that no amount of college or money could make me more prepared than the word of God. We let the world tell us no you can't, you're not good enough, you keep failing so give up. What if Sojourner Truth said its to hard, what if the military said I'm afraid to die, what if Martin Luther King Jr. quit because what he said wasn't popular? God wants somebody real and unafraid because it is a war out there full of folks that don't like you and that don't want to see you succeed, this is not for the faint in heart. What if Jesus would have given up when they ridiculed him and told him he wasn't what God already said he was? If God said it i guarantee you can take it to the bank. If God has justified you, you don't need anyone else's approval. We have to stop screaming faith and step out on it because he hasn't left us yet and he doesn't intend to.




Aquila

 Romans 8:28-32
28And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
29For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.
30Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified.
31What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?
32He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?

2 Timothy 1:7-9
7For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.
8Be not thou therefore ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner: but be thou partaker of the afflictions of the gospel according to the power of God;
9Who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began,
