Ever Feel Stuck? Making the same mis stakes over and over? Sometimes we get stuck in life, because of the lingering effects of something that has happened to us in the past, because of something we have done wrong, a grudge we are holding, or something else. Going down a side-road for a second, we need to remember that grudges are NEVER Scriptural. Christ was pretty clear on that: Mat 6:14-15 For if you forgive men when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. 15 But if you do not forgive men their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins. Sometimes we can stop growing spiritually. But there is no need for that. God doesnt intend for us to let ANYthing stop us from growing spiritually. His resources are limitless. We can overcome anything from the past or the present, no exceptions. We can do ANYthing He wants us to: Phil 4:13 (NIV) I can do everything through Him Who gives me strength. No matter what, it can be overcome -- whether it is a tragic mistake we have made, abuse, or anything. Even though we may still suffer some temporal effects, God can help us overcome oour problems, and He can even use them, to minister to others!But first we must search ourselves and truly be honest with ourselves and before God. What is holding you back from fulfilling your potential? God can use you in spite of or because of your illness / divorce / crime / bad grades / bad judgment / dysfunctional childhood. If something is causing you to think God cant use me, I dont have anything to offer. No one would want help from me, etc. think again! After all, remember, God used persecutors of the church and other Christians (the Apostle Paul) (Peter), and He wants to use us, too! He can help you overcome any weaknesses, and He will use you, if we pray for His help, read His Word daily, and find support and a place of service in our local churches and elsewhere! After all, He gave us all gifts that He intends us to use to build up His church! And when we become Christians we are( new), with all the resources that we need, available to us through God.
