You hear
this all the time and as cliché as it might be….there is GREATNESS in each and
every individual. The people who achieve it and those who don’t are only
divided by one critical element and that is Faith. Yes, that’s right, faith!
Let me tell you a quick story about Elephants in the Circus.
When
elephants are being trained in the circus the trainer ties a chain to their
ankle as a baby to keep them from getting away. The elephant struggles to get away
over and over again and after a while, once they feel defeated, they stop
attempting to escape. At that point, the
trainer has full control and could actually remove the chain without being
concerned about the elephant trying to escape. When the elephant is an adult it
could easily break away from the chain but because mentally it feels defeated,
it doesn’t even attempt to escape.
This is
exactly what has happened to many individuals. As a child we have dreams and
ambitions. Take notice of the things that kids draw pictures of, things like
families (love), hearts (love), the sun and trees(God),all things that are
greater than them. Also, ask a kid what they want to be when they grow up and
many of them will tell you 6 or 7 different things….then at some point the
world blinds us and tells us that we cannot achieve those things. The world
tells us that true love doesn’t exist, owning a business is not possible and
living a life in submission to God is impossible. The world (Satan) tells us
that God doesn’t care THAT much about us and the abundance that God speaks
about in the bible is just a theory. These my friends are all tricks that the
devil (he is quite clever) uses to keep us from accomplishing the things for
which God created us to accomplish. It
is the exact same thing that happens to the elephants in training.
The key to
having faith is to scope out who God says that you are and His promises to you
and allow those things to take root in your heart. At that point God will start
to build your confidence in Him for your life. Friends, God didn’t put you on
this earth because he was bored. God put gifts inside of each of us for us to
operate in on a high level to HIS glory. Imagine if we all tuned in to our
purpose and chased after it. Just imagine how we could change the world.
Would you like
to determine more about God’s promises and your purpose? Stay tuned. I’m
praying for each of you. God has a plan…Trust and Believe!
With love,
Kris

day of my life was recorded in your book. Every moment was laid out before a
single day had passed. Psalms 139:16 (NLT)
