Greetings!
This past weekend I went to a prayer breakfast at my friend's church. I always love going there. The spirit in that church is always so open. I think it is because they welcome displays of praise and worship...they actually encourage it, and where the Spirit of the Lord is...there is liberty. Amen!
Ever since I started going there, I have always felt welcome...like I was home. God has given the First Lady a vision for seeing the gifts in others. She has called me out of my comfort zone several times. This weekend, she just walked up to people and asked them to sing. I loved it! I tried to get my sister to do it, but she wouldn't...lol.
I love the idea that you can let yourself go in church. That is how it should be. We should all be able to hone our gifts in church...or just let it all go for the Lord. We put way too much pressure on ourselves and others to be perfect. There is no perfect on this side. We should strive to always do our best...especially for God, but we can't be so caught up on doing it perfect that we miss the move of God.
There is a freedom in walking in the gifts God has given us, and it should be encouraged. It brings us joy, and I believe it brings God joy. We are supposed to share our gifts and talents for the Lord. When we hold back our gifts, the body of Christ suffers. Someone needs what you have, and if you are so afraid of making a mistake that you never even try...then something is wrong. Encourage someone you know to release that gift and bless the people of God. Psalm 126:2 says, "Then our mouth was filled with laughter, and our tongue with singing. Then they said among the nations, "The LORD has done great things for them."
Until next time...
Be blessed
