Word of Encouragement for Every New Day ~ 29 Dec 2007

Jeremiah 1:7-8: But the Lord said to me, “Do not say, ‘I am only a child.’ You must go to everyone I send you to and say whatever I command you. Do not be afraid of them, for I am with you and will rescue you,” declares the Lord. God can use anyone He wants to be used for His kingdom. Sometimes when we look at people we prejudge them, in fact in our own minds we already have an opinion about that person. Today’s word of encouragement is to minimize any prejudgment on people. Whether it is a close friend or even someone you meet for the first time, we have to remove our selfish thoughts. Most often people who make jokes are seen as childish, people who are too serious are seen as being intense or the type of clothes a person wears means that this person is trying to attract attention. Who has given us the right to judge people? God sees the hearts of people, He knows what is inside us, and He is willing to use anyone with a true and pure heart. We can’t fake Christianity. You either Love God or you Don’t, it is simple as that. Don’t let people and their opinions stop you from being who you are meant to be. We have been designed by God; we have been molded by OUR POTTER. People and their opinions have not designed us. Today, let us stick to the word of God, His promises, and remove from our ears any false prejudgments on our lives that DO NOT DEFINE US. Let us remember this verse: Jeremiah 1:7-8 “Do not say, I am only a child, you must go to everyone I send you to and say whatever I command you. Do not be afraid of them…” © Dec 2007 Shaun Lee
