If God gave up on me

That would be the end of my life… I’d rather die than have to spend another second on earth.

I was recently talking to a great friend of mine and he was telling me how hard it was to talk to people who didn’t respond. He’s someone who was in my group where I was the group leader. At the recent camp he himself became a group leader. His promotion was like the moment for me (some motherly thing haha)… I was so proud of him… I agree he’s still learning so am i… but it really made me think a lot… the story goes that there’s this other guy in his group who’s someone who’s more of an introvert and very shy. I noe this guy pretty well as well and he’s someone who thinks he hasn’t been getting enough attention. I talked to my friend encouraging him to go and talk to this guy and just be a friend… but instead he told me that it was difficult when you kept talking and nothing happened… I realized how true that was but the funny thing is I’ve met probably more people like that than he ever has had to deal with yet I never found it hard… When God calls us to be leaders, He gives the call and the gifts… I truly believe with all my heart that this is one of those gifts leaders really need… and sumthing that we don’t just go “oh! Why should I put up with him?” but “there’s great potential in this guy.” That’s what God did for us… each and every one of us… He didn’t give up on me… and I noe it’s a gift that God gives… called enlarged vision… I’ve been through phases where I look at my group members and think, “Lord! Why me? Why do I have to put up with this?” rarely did I ever cry for Him to enlarge my vision but one night He did and when I looked around at my group members and the people around, I didn’t see what they were but what they could become and the potential they had. And that was what brought on the power to love them… suddenly loving them seemed like the easiest and the most natural thing… oh how precious… I’ve been very blessed to have this gift truly… I noe it’s a revelation that one has to catch on his or her own…

This is what God sees in us… He didn’t give up on us… He hasn’t and He never will… If God didn’t give up on me, how can I give up on someone else? God hasn’t given up on that person yet either… We, especially called as leaders, should never limit our people from receiving their inheritance as champions… Every time we fail God gives us another chance… not one more chance but another chance… so the same when our flock fail… Daddy does the same… He loves the unlovely… I want to do the same… It’s not easy on our own but with Jesus… that’s the answer Jesus… not sumthing we have to ask for but something he gives… just take… making the difference… believing in the person… oh man… I’m very inspired now… noe that Daddy hasn’t given up on you and He never will...
