What’s holding you back??

What’s holding you back today from moving forward and taking that next step? Is it doubt, insecurity, fear? Perhaps all of the above? Do you feel unqualified and not good enough? If so, let’s go ahead and collect all of those things and give them a good ole drop kick, far, far away where they belong.
I love that God doesn’t look over our resume to determine the callings He has for us. His ways are not our ways. He is just looking for a “yes.”
I don’t say these words because I imagine what this is like- I know. I have spent much time wrestling with doubt, fear and insecurity over being invited into places and a part of roles that I felt I had no business to be a part of. PLUS, those things weren’t even things I would’ve or could’ve imagined for myself and they definitely were not a part of my short term or long term goals.
However, I am learning that a life yielded to God is full of surprises and He has V.I.P. passes and pathways that make it possible for us to do all the things that He sets before us.

I can testify that there are some really significant opportunities and amazingly unique growth that happens on the other side of fear and intimidation. If God is for you, who can be against you? Fear and intimidation have as much power as we give them.
How about you? What treasure might be on the other end of your “yes?”
What gold might you find on the other side if you choose to push through and refuse to be blocked, slowed down and held back by fear?

Gah, I’m sick of fear! Aren’t you?!
