Today’s Scripture: “Most assuredly, I say to you, he who
believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than
these he will do, because I go to My Father. John4:12
(NKJV)
Many of us are socialized to believe
that we have to follow the footsteps of our parents. We have been told that “it’s
a family thing” or “you are a chip off the old block “or “the tree does not
fall from the root.” or “you are just like your mother or father.”
However Jesus
Christ himself, who is our heavenly Daddy, tells us different, He says that we
will do greater works than our heavenly father…we just have to believe in him. So
ladies if we can do greater works than Jesus Christ did while He was on earth
we can also do greater than our earthly parents. The Lord has empowered us with
power, potential and tools that way surpass our wildest imaginations. Therefore
do not allow yourself or anyone else to limit you. God has a unique plan for
each of us and while it is good for us to have role models and mentors, we
should strive to be greater than them.
1st
Corinthians 2:9 tells us that “Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor have
entered into the heart of man the things which God has prepared for those who
love Him.” Therefore our
parents and mentors are placed in our lives to guide us and show us the path
but we were made to exceed what they have achieved.
Judy Garland puts it like this “Always be a
first rate version of yourself and not a second rate version of someone else.” So
ladies, aim for the highest, shoot for the stars and make your own mark. Your
parents and mentors will be proud of you for it.
Have A God Filled Day Ladies
Let’s Pray
Father we thank you for being our
heavenly Daddy and we thank you for our parents that have gone ahead of us and
paved the way, but Lord help us to do greater works and to realize the
potential that you have placed in us.
In Jesus Name
Amen
