Call to Me, friend!

Something is burning in my heart today! It's to encourage you and strengthen you in the fact that what God has placed in you is good. What He has gifted you with is enough!

You may be thinking, "But it doesn't look very good right now. My soul is depressed. I don't feel like I'm taking a single step forward."

Oh, friend, how well I know that! It's especially hard before every album I release or even before each new book I write. That's when the storm of self-doubt rages—"Am I good enough? Do people care what I record or write?"—or unexpected obstacles arise (for example, suddenly the car breaks down, and I have to spend half the day in the repair shop, etc., etc.).

But do you know what? Usually, these are exactly the kinds of moments that happen before you experience a big breakthrough! When you're lying on the floor in despair, the moment of victory usually follows directly after you make up your mind: "Then I'll just fight this fight on my knees!"

"'Call to Me, and I will answer you…'" (Jeremiah 33:3, NKJV)!  Perhaps you've heard this verse a thousand times. But it doesn't do any of us any good if we don't put it into practice!

Here's the good news, friend: you don't need more than you have. You just need God's blessing on what you have. All things depend on His blessing, as we can read in Psalm 127. 

You have what it takes, friend! It's true. You need nothing more than His blessing. Will you ask for it today? He says, "Call to Me," and He will answer. Wow! What a gracious and loving God He is.

Yes, I encourage you: don't wait! Even this moment, this day, choose to trust God and call upon Him. :-) 

You are a miracle!
