I fumbled and mumbled under my breath as I walked out of the college office. More work, more responsibilities, and more people to meet...how much more were they expecting me to give? This is so out of control. I kept walking as I had to return to library and work on the responsibilities thrown at me. But instead of walking through the doors of the library I walked straight past it towards the bench nearby. It was one of the quietest loveliest places in the college. There was such an amazing sense of peace there. I had never sat there before simply because I didn’t want to be seen alone. But I walked straight to it and sat down. Got out my journal and wrote these words “I don’t know what You are up to but I know You are behind this! I still know You care and are leading and preparing me for what You have prepared for me. I need Your wisdom. Come and reign like never before. Your name is engraved on my heart. Let me never doubt Your marvellous works but faithfully follow as You lead. Be ever-present.”
As I wrote down those words, I felt His peace come upon me and I felt Him say “Up your game. This is your time. Step Up.” As I packed up and walked towards the library, I knew I was done talking. I knew He had planned something big. It was worth all my time, effort and input. I realised that there was a Kingdom purpose to where He was leading me and as long as I'm in His will, all I would have to do is surrender and live out my call.
Up your game; whether you are in school or college or working. Up your game! We have lived for too long a very mediocre life and have invested nil into the lives of others. It comes with surrender and always going back to Him so that we can be and do more.
I am blessed to be in a place that will challenge me to be a better and more effective me. Don't waste your time thinking the day will come someday in the future or that you are late and have lost that opportunity. Today, right now as you read this you have the authority to make that decision. To open your bible and read it for the first time; to kneel down and ask God to lead you; to befriend the lonely kid in your school; to walk out of an abusive relationship; to say thank you or sorry to your parents. Maybe today you need to forgive someone for blabbering stuff about you or a best friend for not trusting you. It is today that you make that choice.
This is your time and you are worth God’s time.
Led to lead,
