You Can Make It

Main Scripture: “So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them;” Gen 1:27 (NIV)

Sometimes in order to wind down from a long day of work, I play a game like “candy crush” for example. There are times when I reach a level I find very difficult pass and I may lose a few lives or take a lot more time to pass the level. At this point I realize I have to become more creative in order to move on but I also realize that every time I play that level I get closer to passing the level.

Ladies life is exactly like this, if instead of becoming overly discouraged when we meet up on obstacles or even fail, we press on instead. If we become creative and rethink our strategies we can make it. You see ladies life will throw all kinds of discouragement and obstacles in our way but we must remember that we were made to be creative. We must remember that we were made in the image and likeness of God therefore if God is a creator, we are also creators. Therefore there is no need to give up on your dreams and aspirations just re-think your strategy and use up that creative energy that God gave to you.

There are many great business gurus, inventors, scientists, Hollywood stars, athletes etc. who failed a couple times or were told that they couldn’t make it before they became successful however, they never gave up.

Thomas Edison's teachers said he was "too stupid to learn anything." He was fired from his first two jobs for being "non-productive." As an inventor, Edison made 1,000 unsuccessful attempts at inventing the light bulb. When a reporter asked, "How did it feel to fail 1,000 times?" Edison replied, "I didn’t fail 1,000 times. The light bulb was an invention with 1,000 steps."

Henry Ford failed and went broke five times before he succeeded.

R. H. Macy failed seven times before his store in New York City caught on.

Michael Jordan and Bob Cousy were each cut from their high school basketball teams. Jordan once observed, "I've failed over and over again in my life. That is why I succeed."

In high school, actor and comic Robin Williams was voted "Least Likely to Succeed."

So ladies if they can make it, you can make, we can make.

Let’s Pray,

Lord Jesus, thank you for making us in your own image and likeness. Thank you for giving us a creative mind. Lord help us never to give up when we meet on obstacles or when others discourage us. Help us instead to push and never give up.

In Jesus Name

Amen

Have a God Filled Day Ladies
