Heart Strings

It's something buried deep within your past, you're hoping it doesn't last. You've dealt with this before. The person you used to be. You've tried to put it behind you and move forward, but it just seems to keep coming back... your past creeping up behind you, old thoughts of what used to be... but it's just a the enemy trying to trick you and make you fall.

Do not be deceived! The devil wants you to fall back on old habits and go back to the way things used to be. If you've already dealt with past mistakes, gave it to God, then MOVE FORWARD! You don't have to chase those mistakes you made and try to fix them. The past is gone and there is no need to go looking for it. What matters is what you do about your future right now.

None of us are perfect, but we serve a perfect God. If you've truly repented then Jesus has forgiven you. You have a brand new start in this brand new year! Don't fade out... know that God loves you and can make something great out of you.

God has a plan and purpose for you. We all have a special calling that God has given us... start seeking it. Don't lose focus or get distracted. Be patient and let God open the doors for your ministry.

All throughout the Bible, it talks about being patient and waiting on God. You may think you're ready for whatever God has for you, but God's timing is better... His ways and thoughts are better than ours. Habakkuk says it this way... 'For the vision is yet for an appointed time... though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come...'

Hold onto God's promises and don't try to rush into your calling. Take the time that God gave you to wait on Him and prepare yourself. The vision God gave you and the ministry you have will always be there (the calling of God is without repentance).

You may be playing the song of your calling on the strings of your heart, but again, wait on the Lord. You still have your calling... the time spent waiting may be for fine tuning and preparing... His ways and timing is perfect. Let Him open the doors. A door that you have to blow open, isn't worth walking through.

So when your heart strings come undone, wait on Him.
