A Word Of Encouragement On Desires

God doesn’t give you a desire without the needed ability to go accomplish it. With God, there are no handicaps in your life, and God can use you to accomplish great things, if you submit yourself to him as a willing vessel to accomplish his will.

Jeremiah 1:5 states, “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart; I appointed you as a prophet to the nations.”

This means every flaw, every quirk you have is part of your special design. However, you can only enjoy your life if you live in line with your divine design, and only God can show you what you are designed to do. When you live in line with your design, you feel fulfilled. You are not envious of others making more money, getting awards or being celebrated. You are happy with yourself, so you don't hate others. You perform at optimum levels in your field. People request your services, wait till you are available for their project and ask you to name your price for your services.

"What you think is your handicap; God can use to get you into your divine destiny, if you yield yourself to him. God made you on purpose to fit perfectly into a divine plan. If you are in the right environment, you will be celebrated, but if you are in the wrong environment you will hate yourself and be despised. What you think is your flaw sets you apart. For example, Cindy Crawford was told her mole would be a distraction, but in the right environment, that's what set her apart.

Don’t change to become something you're not, if you feel you are not up to par in your current environment. You may just need to change your environment. You have everything you need to succeed in you. You were designed with assets not liabilities. What you think is pulling you down, is what God will use to propel you.
With God there are no handicaps, insurmountable challenges or disabilities so when you have a setback don’t be bitter. A set back is a set up for a comeback.

Regardless of your perceived disadvantage or disability, tell God, "I’m ready to be who you want me to be. Be prayed up and show up. Be ready for God to show up and show out on your behalf. Work hard, be honest and kind to everyone in your environment, and sit back and watch the goodness of God on display on your behalf. Recite, Psalm 23 below:

The Lord is my Shepherd; I shall not want
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures
He leadeth me beside the still waters
He restoreth my soul
He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for His name' sake

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
I will fear no evil: for thou art with me
Thy rod and thy staff, they comfort me
Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies
Thou annointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the House of the Lord forever.

Repeat the Psalm above till you believe the words in your inner core. You have nothing to fear or worry about. What you thought was a liability, will become an advantage to lead you into your divine destiny.


Have a no excuses mentality; keep pressing forward towards your God given goal. Happily take the hand life has dealt you, and make the most of it.
Be the best you, you can be. Use what is available to you, where you are. Shake off self pity, get rid of regrets, and extinguish excuses.

It will be a journey, but God’s GPS will take you from where you are now to where he wants you to be because the gifts of God are without repentance. There are no limitations or expiration dates to God given dreams, because God can change each and every perceived disability to assets.

So fear not. Be brave and encouraged. All is well with you.

God bless you.
