Let Your Life Be God’s Flex
One thing God has shown me over the years is that I’ve been playing way too small. I was getting the things I asked Him for just for them to blow up. Then, I found myself mad at Him for allowing it to happen. I used to ask God, “why you keep playing in my face?! Dangling things in my face that you KNOW I want just to strip them away from me!” The whole time, He wasn’t playing with me. He was making me so uncomfortable with what I THOUGHT I desired just to show me that He had bigger plans for me.
MY DESIRES WEREN’T BIG ENOUGH. THEY WEREN’T BOLD ENOUGH.
They didn’t fit the greatness that my life is destined for. If He didn’t force me (very abruptly, might I add, haha) out of those situations, I would have been stuck in a cycle of mediocrity. I was settling for opportunities and people that were beneath the blessings God has planned for me. So, I am now having to boss up on what I expect Him to do with my life.
I DON’T KNOW WHO OR WHAT YOU SERVE, BUT I SERVE A GOD THAT LIKES TO SHOW OUT.
He loves performing miracles, showing people what He’s really capable of. He wants to bring His children out of fiery furnaces with not one burn or the smell of smoke on them. He wants to heal His children with just one touch of His garment. He wants to raise His children up from the dead. He’s so extra and theatrical, lol, but I love that about Him because it shows just how big of God He truly is. My God likes to FLEX. How can you not stan?!
Now that I am reminded of how much He desires for me to have and how big my life’s purpose is, my dreams are getting bigger by the day. I am coming out of a season of settling for the bare minimum and “good things.” I want great, better, the BEST there is…plus more. And that’s not just material things and earthly desires, but even (especially) the intangible. I want my ministry and my spiritual life to be the BEST it can be on this side of life. I want to know how it feels to live life to the fullest in every aspect. I want to dream so big that it scares me just so I can watch God bring it all to fruition in amazement.
The enemy has tried to play me. I have often played myself, to be honest, lol. But one thing’s for sure, God has never played me, played with me, or played about me. He’s just been trying to push me out of the small mindset I had settled into.
MY LIFE IS GOD’S FLEX AND I NEED TO ACT ACCORDINGLY.
Even though I am still on a journey to heal from all I’ve endured, and I still have moments of wanting to go back to my past desires, I am continuing to move forward and allowing God to blow my mind. My story is far from complete, but when it’s all said and done, it will be a true testament to how God can bring someone out of mediocrity. I get so overwhelmed with joy when I think of all that’s to come and all that is as I am growing into the woman He’s calling me to be.
Settling is ghetto. And I ain’t going back to that. I’m letting God flex with me, okay?!
