Artists are often incredibly critical and self deprecating, and we are bombarded by the negativity in our world currently as a result of social media. If we permit this negativity into our hearts and minds….we can turn into “defeated” just before we have the opportunity to be successful or not. We can also unwittingly perpetuate the negativity that has been specified us. This cycle helps prevent us from fulfilling what we had been built/named to do. God does not glance for “good adequate”. He needs guys and ladies who have an open up heart to really like him and serve him with abandon. We can not maintain on to the detrimental self chat or the deplorable opinions (and/or actions) of many others. We have to embrace the truth of God’s Phrase. 2 Corinthians 12:9-10 is a great reminder that our Lord’s grace is adequate for us. Our weak point is option for his energy to be on screen. When we wrestle with insecurity and question…we can keep on to the truth that our God loves us and wishes to meet us in our struggles, and display us a improved way. It is just not that we give up, but simply because of his grace & like…we carry on on for God’s glory.
