Our Mission

 Our Mission

Where have my limitations turned into opportunities?

“God has chosen what is insignificant and despised in the world what is viewed as nothing to bring to nothing what is viewed as something, so that no one may boast in his presence. It is from him that you are in Christ Jesus, who became wisdom from God for us- our righteousness, sanfification, and redemption in order that, as it is written: Let the one who boasts, boast in the Lord.” 1 Corinthians 1:28-31

Paul is someone we have been reading about lately. He was commissioned by God to go and spread the gospel. This letter was for the Corinthian church they were experiencing things churches do today. Disagreements over leadership, misunderstandings, and Paul was reminding them, “God is faithful; you were called by him into fellowship with his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.  

The enemy will use whatever means he wants to get us distracted and thrown off course. 

I sat with my small group last night and we have all been talking about how to run our races for the Lord. Identifying what keeps us from moving forward. One friend shared a picture of herself running and all those things she was carrying and throwing them off as she ran. I know I want to carry things that weigh me down each day and God has been showing me more to let that go so He can carry them. But it is still that reminder of choosing the Word of God over our beliefs and feelings so we can continue to walk in victory and run the race He has for us. And if I am honest that word “walk” doesn’t sit well within my mind because as I have learned with MS walking will be one of those challenging things that lack distance and if I allow that it  can create limitations within my mind. 

I went walking today and thought I would try and increase the distance. That didn’t happen this time. It was that reminder I don’t care for the one of living in this body and how what I want and the body wants doesn’t matter. I walk IN the Light. Walking in the light isn’t me walking at all really. It is me being led by the Holy Spirit walking in ways that shows me until I throw off those things that don’t matter like pride, and boasting I am forgetting who lies ahead. The Joy of my Assurance is Jesus. So in reality that limitation is a good thing because I can know my boast is only in the Lord. 

Our mission hasn’t changed. Change can occur when we “see” it to be a reality. Our faith can direct us to victory in what we each have been called to. It is because of the unwavering faithfulness of God of the breakthrough we can live our lives in this present reality.

So what will I do with the limitations God has given me to give Him opportunities? 

What might He be asking you to do?  Ask Him. He is listening.
