RISE
Dear friends, I stand before you today with a message from our Heavenly Father, a message of our divine potential and our capacity to rise beyond the boundaries we often impose on ourselves.
God has sculpted each one of us in His image, infusing us with remarkable potential, a destiny woven with threads of greatness. Yet, this greatness is often obscured by the veils of self-doubt and limited perception. We confine ourselves within the narrow walls of our beliefs, hindering our own ascent.
When you gaze into the mirror, what do you see? Is it a reflection bounded by worldly limitations? Or do you see a child of God, brimming with divine potential, destined for a greatness that surpasses worldly understanding?
The lens through which you view yourself determines the horizon of your journey. It sets the boundaries of your potential. If you choose to see yourself as God sees you, as His beloved creation destined for greatness, then the skies are your limit. However, if you choose to believe in less, to impose limitations on your own capabilities, then you voluntarily confine your potential.
Remember, dear friends, we're not chained by the world's perception of us. Our worth isn't dictated by worldly measures, but by the divine truth of our identity as God's children. We are called to rise, not by the world's standards, but in alignment with God's grand design for each of us.
Let's cast away these self-imposed shackles! Let's embrace the divine truth of our worth and rise up in faith and confidence. Let us not be victims of our own self-limiting beliefs but victors in God's grand design.
Our journey isn't to be dictated by the world's view of us, but by the way we see ourselves through the eyes of our Creator. So, rise up, dear ones. Know your worth, see your potential as God sees it, and ascend into the greatness you were designed for.
Let us rise above, not by our might, but by His grace. This is the Truth, His truth. In His name and for His glory, we rise. Amen. - Pastor James Blake
