The Lord is so interested in each one of us knowing who He has created us to be, what He has filled us with and being comfortable in our own skins. So often we are given the impression that if we look a certain way or speak a certain way or wear certain “really illusive” or wildly expensive clothing then we will have made the grade, passed the test and can now be useful.

When it comes to the list of qualifications for being accepted as someone who has something spiritual to contribute, sometimes the list is even longer and we feel even less qualified because “those ladies” are amazing and soooo gifted but I am just “me”.

Well, have I got amazing revelation for you! You are just as magnificent in the gifting that the Lord has placed in you as those ladies are in the gifting God has given them. He is the one who has placed His gifting in us and knows how and why He made “incredible YOU”.

Whatever is in us is His gift to us and what we do with what He has gifted to us is our gift back to Him. It begins with Him, is sustained by Him, is anointed by Him and is His love gift to all around us, through us. It takes the pressure off when we realise that all we have originates with Him and He is the one who enables us. All we need to do is be open to the Lord so that not only can He show us the variety of giftings He has placed within us but also He will lead and guide us to the training and equipping we need and to the places and people we need in our lives whose giftings will be to disciple and mentor us into the time and space where we are flowing naturally in the gifting come out of us.

He makes ALL things beautiful in His time and no matter where we start o
f He is faithful that once He has begun a good work in us He will complete it unto the day of Jesus Christ. Phil.1:6. Also we read in           1 Thess. 5:24 He who calls you
s faithful, who also will do it.

Relax in the Lord as He is so interested in seeing that you succeed, let Him lead you. Ask Him to lead you to the person who He knows will help you find and affirm the gifting in you. Once you know what it is be confident that if He gave it to you, He kn
ws how to get you to fulfil it. Get the training that you need. Find a mentor who will walk a road with you, study to show yourself approved, allow Him to develop the right character for sustaining the gift and trust Him to make you consistent so that when you begin strong you will finish just as strong. Women each one of you has a gift and a destiny to fulfil. Rejoice and grow!
