tonight makes the second night i sang for our youth group.
i was kinda nervouse at first because last time i messed up just a little and i really wanted to do my best.
well, tonight we actually practiced.. which helped me be more confisent indeed.
anyway, the point is... i sang stricktly for christ, not the people in the room, not to inpress my pastor... not even for myself, but i sang for Christ...
and DANG! it made all the difference.
well, the real reason i am posting this blog is not to tell you how wanderfully i sang. but when you do somthing, give it your ALL for when you hold back you never fully do your best. EVER.
~my example is singing... i am so frightened to sing infront of people. more then alot of you could EVER understand. but i came to the conclusion about a month and a half ago that nomatter how much i try i am never gunna benifit from being afraid of what God has so gracously gifted me with. i will never inprove if i hold it inside of me. i am the only one who is being hendered by being afraid. by not giving it my all. to not give it up to christ and let him carry my voice... i am only hindering myself. now and in the long run.
so now my friends... i am not afraid.
ofcourse everyone will have butterflies before they do whatever you do... thats perfectly normal (and if you dont thatn you are one lucky person... dont ever take that for granted) just dont let that take you over.
for if you dont persue that drive God has put in you... how will you ever fully serve him? for He has given you such a gift for a reason. to help others. to help yourself... but MAINLY to serve Him.
dont be afraid of your gift. for being confident in yourself and christ, He will lead you to success.... more then you could possibly imagine.
for i never expected to someday get up infront of 30-40 people and sing with no reagrets... no second thoughts.. no worries...
but with Gods help in helping me be confisent... i have accomplished my greatest wish...
to be able to lead others in worship with no fear.
God has blessed me and i will never take it for granted.
For God can also take your gift away in a heartbeat.
so use it for him. not yourself. and never be pridefull.
always give God glory. |
