God will make a way

These past weeks I kept on praying to God for something. At first I thought He didn't heard me but the other night I had the biggest revelation of my life.

I was reading a book by Joshua Harris entitled 'I kissed dating goodbye" when i first stumbled on the verse Jeremiah 29:11. I did not noticed it at first but then again when I opened my twitter..two of the people that I'm following had tweet it. I find it very timely to my current situation so I retweeted it. Yesterday when I opened my Bible it is still the first verse that I saw.

I remembered Bill Johnson's sermon, he said that we should make a history with God. Before seeking out the help of other people let us seek God's help first. and true indeed I have believed that this will become one of my history with Him. well, maybe it will be. But when I browse over Bethel.org I almost cry when I read about the sermon of the week.

the sermon was entitled "Perfectly Imperfect" by Pastor Brent Allen and it says:

“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” Jeremiah 29:11 (NIV)

“But… I am not perfect!” is the response many people give when asked about being used by God. They begin citing their past failures and convincing themselves that they are not “perfect enough” for God to use them.

Many times we use our imperfections, our past, and our failures as reasons to not engage in doing what God has commanded in scripture - the principles in His Word and the promptings we receive in our times of prayer. When God directs us, we tend to back away and offer excuses. Excuses not based on Gods inabilities, but rather our complete knowledge of our own imperfections. We just don’t feel worthy to be used by God.

But imperfections are exactly what God is looking for. God uses imperfections and actually requires them from every person desiring to be used by God - because it’s our imperfections that make us perfectly suited to fulfill His plans.

So, what is God looking for – if not perfection? What makes imperfect people perfectly usable in God’s plans? And how can we truly be effective in our lives serving God and ministering to other people with all the faults and mistakes that seem to obstruct our progression in life?

Boom! That was it! This was the answer that i have been waiting for. and all I can say is AMEN! God is good! God hears! and God never fails!

Dear Father God, I know you are trying to talk to me through this verse. Thank you Father God for always reminding me that you are always by my side. I am grateful and blessed for Your never ending Love!
