I am Awesome Because

I was thinking about another post but this kept running through my mind. This was a question asked on the Hope*Writer’s page. The response was interesting. It took a long time before the first few answers were posted on the comment line. Do you find it easier to come up with the reasons you are not awesome, why something is always wrong? Yes, we are sinners and we have all fallen short of the glory of God. ( Romans 3:23). Read the next verse

⁴and all are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus. NIV

God put wonderful gifts inside each of us, which are now being set free to worship and give Him the honor He deserves. We are being released to love others with those creative gifts without the bondage of comparison and perfectionism. He is revealing ways to create through all the arts that will set the world on it’s ear.

What would be the next good step for you to take to enter into this marvelous adventure? This may be more than a few podcasts on how to use Instagram or Twitter. Sink your teeth into a quote by A. W. Tozer.

“It might well be a wonderful revelation to some Christians if they were to get completely quiet for a short time, long enough, let us say, to get acquainted with their own souls, and to listen in the silence for the deep voice of the Eternal God.”¹

What is God saying to you? Do the gifts make you Awesome? Is it what you can do that makes you a real zinger?

Start out with WHOSE you are and WHO you are. That is what makes you AWESOME. If you are a Son or Daughter of the King, you are awesome. Continually dwelling on the junk to be rooted out will forever keep your eyes on you. Forever dwelling on trying to reach the next huge goal will lead to a draining life. Instead what does the Creator say about you? What does He want you to share?

The words on our page need to reflect His Faithfulness in our times of faithlessness. Give life stories which are filled with Joy and Hope to a world crying out for truth.

Read this encouragement. Spend time with God. How does He see you? Allow God to reveal the deep dreams just waiting to be released.

I AM AWESOME BECAUSE——–

More times than not when you look in the mirror, that is probably not the first thing that comes to your mind. More like, “I can’t do things, I am not worthy, I will never be able to paint like so and so. yada, yada, yada. We either get prideful or we feel less than. Can you allow your heart to go to a place that says …”I am a Son or Daughter of the King. He has poured parts of His creativity into me to give Him Worship and share His love with others.” If you are serious about this it will cause you to be humble and ecstatic. Take this sentence and finish it with the gifts God has poured into you to flow.

I am awesome because I don’t let fear stop me from trying new things.
And yes, you are certainly correct that it’s way easier to write what I’m NOT awesome at than what I’m good at. Thanks for this reminder!

  Thanks for sharing Anna. When we realize the awesomeness is from Jesus, it is easier to let the gifts flow. The enemy cannot stop that. 🙂
