Several years ago, God gave me a promise.
I did not even know about promises before this.
I did not know that God could speak something to you and you could put it in the bank that it would happen.
Instead I worried. I fretted.
I did not jump up and down at this promise because to be truthful I didnt totally ask for it. It kinda came as a surprise and it was a huge blessing. But it came with a bit of a waiting period that had a big development process to it.
So what did I do?
I feared for my life. As if I had seen an angel the inside of me was paralyzed for a while stuck not knowing what to do. Could I lose this promise? Is it dependent on me?
So I decided to study like all 22200329844949 prophets of our time RIGHT now and what they had to say about “Promises.” I went on a full on investigation and there were a lot of opinions and to be honest I am not sure where I stand on what they said to this day but I just had to settle on what I believed for my individual promise.
And I came to the conclusion that God would have not made such a promise to me if he did not know that I could not handle it ! lol
I was not capable of what he told me when he told it to me. In fact, I was a failure. And I KNEW that I was. I was frightened because he chose little me for such a huge thing. God how could I ever do this? How in the WORLD could I EVER make this come to pass.
So I did everything I could to make this thing work honey. I failed through every hoop. I caused some EMBARASSING things to happen with my exuberance to finalize his work in me.
And then like all things I realized Charity honey, you can never do this no matter how hard you try.
Your works are literally nothing compared to his.
And some things are simply that- just promises.
And there is nothing that you can do except for wait on the promises on God for when he sees fit and know that he would not have made a promise if he did not know how to bring it all together just for little ol you!
So thank him for doing things that you cant do by yourself. And thank him that you can let go of anything that isnt you and simply keep walking with him.
You dont have to play God of your own life.
You can let him have all the reigns as he does such a wonderful work in you.
