We’ve all seen Rudolf-the-Red-Nose-Reindeer (many times). Most of us remember the
I personally, spent years feeling like the ‘black sheep’ of the family. As I am gaining more wisdom, I am finding that my family never labeled me as this type of sheep. I just felt like such a sheep, because of all of the shame I carried in my mind and on my shoulders. My family has loved me and still loves me today – just as I am.
Even with my writings, often times I feel inadequate, because of the mistakes I make. After I send an e-mail out, communicating that an inspiration is complete, throughout the day, I find mistake after mistake, or I find a better song. This is why this website is God-sent, because if I want to edit, I am free to do so whenever I wish.
Over the past several months, if you have been reading my writings, just know that the writings have been edited and re-edited, then edited again.
With having OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder), I analyze and over-analyze my mistakes.
I debate heavily what people think of me from what I say or do. It amazes me that I chose to make so many BAD choices in my life, because I would then toil and agonize over those same mistakes.
Today, I still have OCD, but I have so much JOY now, because I have learned so many new ‘non-secrets’ from God. I have truly been HEALED by God, and GOD ALONE!!!
I’ve learned that I can LAY DOWN MY BURDENS, and that GOD WILL CARRY ME.
I’ve learned that despite my feelings of being a misfit, GOD STILL LOVES & CARES for ME.
When I feel lonely, GOD IS AWAYS HERE FOR ME.
When I am at my weakest, GOD’S POWER IS MADE PERFECT through me.
I really could go on and on, God has proven His love for me in such a way, that I hope and pray that I will be a true ambassador for Him the REST OF MY
It wasn’t until I read the Bible for myself, that I truly understood God. Yes, we can understand God, because He has laid it out for us (in His Holy Word). No, we won't know everything, but if you take the time with God and His Word, I promise He will reveal Himself to you.
The following passage of Scripture has had such a powerful impact on my life! Today, I would like to share it with you. I’m not going to type it all, but I hope and pray that you will take the time to read the entire passage. It can change your life as well.
I Corinthians 1:18-31 (PLEASE READ THESE 14 VERSES!!!)
I Corinthians 1:27-29 “God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong. He chose the lowly things of this world and the despised things – and the things that are not – to nullify the things that are, so that no one may boast before Him. It is because of Him (God) that you are in Christ Jesus.”
Folks, God chose the MISFITS of this world to do His work.
Are you hearing me?
If you feel like a MISFIT, then God wants you!!! You are IMPORTANT to God!!!
When I go back and correct my writings, and delete entire sentences, I often wonder if I am deleting God’s message. Because it is when I am weak, that He is strong.
If you have read yesterday’s inspiration ‘On the Side’, please re-visit and re-read the inspiration. Yes, I eliminated what I thought were mistakes, but I wonder if the mistakes deleted were truly mistakes.
If anything, please listen to the new song that I’ve attached to ‘On the Side’, it is POWERFUL. Then I want you to think about the song that was there before, it too was POWERFUL.
God Bless the Christian Misfits!!!

In His Hands,
