\u201cAs children, our parents often bought us clothes a few sizes too large because they knew that we were growing, and eventually they would fit. In the same way, believers start out their walks aspiring for the heights. But after they mess up or don\u2019t see all that they had hoped to see, they start trying to shrink their calling. They lower their expectations, because they are uncomfortable with the gap between what their life currently is, and what their life is to become. But your calling does not shrink or decrease. God\u2019s gifts and callings are irrevocable. It hasn\u2019t shrunk. God knows that you will grow into it. Keep growing. If you don\u2019t fit into your calling, that\u2019s the whole point. If you did there’d be nothing to be called to. Don\u2019t give up the calling, give up the doubt. Believe a few sizes bigger than you are. Believe you\u2019ll become a person of victory, of righteousness, a person of the spirit, of joy, of purity, and of unstoppable love. Because God will only give you all calling that is perfectly tailored a few sizes too big.\u201d<\/p>\n
This is so true. I first started getting serious about Christianity in 2004 and the more I study God\u2019s word the truer this becomes. If you would\u2019ve told me back then that I was going to own a ministry and write Bible studies and currently I am working on my fifth book I would\u2019ve told you that your crazy and sent you to a psychiatrist for evaluation. Like on military missions they only tell you what you need to know and never everything else. God does the same thing, He only tells you the next few steps that you need to know to continue. As you continue in life he will keep giving you the information on the same need to know basis. The critical thing that we must remember, is that as long as we stay focused on God\u2019s way he will always continue to lead us. It is only when we try and take over and do it our way that we get lost. Jessy Dixon in his song \u201cI Can\u2019t Even Walk\u201d says it so well here are some of the lyrics;<\/p>\n
I Can’t Even Walk<\/b><\/p>\n
I thought that number one would surely be me<\/i>
\n<\/i>I thought I could be what I wanted to be<\/i>
\n<\/i>I thought that I could build on lives<\/i>
\n<\/i>Sinking in sand<\/i>
\n<\/i>But I realize I can’t even walk<\/i>
\n<\/i>Without You holding my hand<\/i>
\n<\/i>
\n<\/i>I thought that I could do a lot on my own<\/i>
\n<\/i>I thought I, I thought I could make it<\/i>
\n<\/i>All, all alone<\/i>
\n<\/i>I thought, I thought of myself<\/i>
\n<\/i>As a mighty, mighty big man<\/i>
\n<\/i>But I realize I can’t even walk<\/i>
\n<\/i>Without You holding my hand<\/i><\/p>\n
Lord I can’t even walk<\/i>
\n<\/i>Without You holding my hand<\/i>
\n<\/i>Because the mountains are so high<\/i>
\n<\/i>And the valleys are so wide<\/i>
\n<\/i>I’m down on my knees<\/i>
\n<\/i>I had to say,<\/i>
\n<\/i>Lord I can’t even walk<\/i>
\n<\/i>Without You holding my hand<\/i><\/p>\n
All I can say is Amen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
