You may say, “Well, Barbara, that sounds great for someone young and energetic with lots of opportunities, but that’s not me. I’m beyond that in my life.”
Please don’t feel that way, dear friend! Wherever you are in life, God will give you the ability to follow Him into His destiny for you. But in order to begin, you need a life of radical faith in God. Yes, radical faith!
Spend some time with your Father, just talking to Him about this. Get a piece of paper and write, “Lord, how can I live a life of radical faith?” Then wait and listen. Write down what you hear Him saying to you. He’s been waiting for you to come to Him with this question and is absolutely delighted to give you the answers.
God told Jeremiah: “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, and before you were born I consecrated you; I appointed you a prophet to the nations” (Jeremiah 1:5). You see, we were known by God and appointed to a destiny before we were even born!
What I’ve shared with you today is foundational to understanding my series on the redemptive gifts and to living a life of passionately seeking God. They go hand in hand.
Your Beloved longs for you to live out of the spirit and heart that He gave you to be a reflection of Him. He desires that you celebrate the uniqueness of who He created you to be. Then you will express your radiant, authentic self in your world.
Be blessed, dear one, to receive all the Father has for you. Then, in turn, give back to others who need a fresh touch. Risk living in radical faith as you passionately pursue God!
