Luke 1:36-37 Now indeed, Elizabeth your relative has also conceived a son in her old age; and this is now the sixth month for her who was called barren. For with God nothing shall be impossible.
She who was called…. I wonder if you are someone who other people have called something other than what God has called you? Maybe you’ve even called yourself some negative things that are based on your feelings, your performance, or your circumstances.
I’ve heard some people call themselves rubbish, or insecure, or unloved, or clumsy or hopeless. We may have had people call us names that weren’t helpful or that pulled us down. I know someone who was told by her headmaster that she wouldn’t amount to anything. She went on to prove him totally wrong and became a headmistress herself at one point! She’s a very gifted lady.🙂
Any negative thing we have been called in the past is cancelled when we believe what God calls us - His masterpiece, His special treasure, the apple of His eye. He calls us anointed, accepted and approved by Him.
Maybe you’ve thought it was impossible to shake off the names people have called you in the past, but God says differently for with God nothing is impossible. Maybe you’ve been called a failure, but God says you are a success going somewhere to succeed. Maybe you’ve been called sick and that you’ll always be ill, but God calls you healed and whole because of the wounds on Jesus’ back.
Whatever you have been called by people or yourself, if it doesn’t agree with what God says in scripture, then it’s out of kilter. What God calls us is true but He does require us to agree with Him.🙂
God calls you fearfully and wonderfully made, made worthy, well able, gifted and anointed. Now keep reminding yourself of what God calls you and brush off any other name that’s been sticking to you. You are a son or daughter of the Most High God and He also calls you deeply loved and righteous in His sight.🙂 Thank You Lord!
