Press forward in positivity

 He has filled them with skill to do all kinds of work as engravers, designers, embroiderers in blue, purple and scarlet yarn and fine linen, and weavers—all of them skilled workers and designers. Exodus 35:35

Exodus 35:35 and today’s message “Every Talent Counts” reminds each of us not to take what we do for granted. As the message emphasizes today, no skill is too little, no contribution too insignificant, to answer the call. “Your creative skills are a gift to the kingdom of God. Your imagination can be used for his glory! You may think God isn't interested in using your creativity. But your gifts are a great blessing to others.” Don’t ever shy from what God has gifted you to do and what He has put in you to use for His purpose as you walk in your purpose.

Reflection from Reset: A 7-Day Plan to Building Positive Habits

As we travel along life’s journey, we must never forget where we have come from and how far we have come, and as the title from today’s message says, “Remember the Past Struggles”. The author begins by speaking about Apostle Paul’s writing in Philippians 3:13-14 saying, “We often misinterpret this passage to mean that you should literally ‘forget’ your past. Forget the trauma, forget the pain, forget the hurt, forget the abuse, forget the betrayal, forget the abandonment, forget it all. That’s not what Paul is advising! Paul wasn’t talking about forgetting his past struggles; he was talking about forgetting his past victories. He wasn’t talking about forgetting his past pain; he was talking about forgetting his pride and his boasting in his accomplishments.” We must realize that our struggles, our trials come to make us stronger. We have to feel what we need to feel, embracing what we have gone T.H.R.O.U.G.H. (Trials, Hurt, Regrets, Obstacles, Uncertainty, Guilt, Heartbreak). But then know our Father has greater in store for our lives than what we have already experienced, so lean in and press forward! Our best is yet to come!
