Elvis in All of Us
You are talented and gifted. Don’t doubt yourself and what you are capable of doing with your life.
I was watching Elvis; That’s the Way It Is, the other night with my daughter. She is an Elvis fanatic, along with her daddy. While we were watching it, I got to thinking. What would I be like if I was talented and gifted in writing/speaking/coaching as Elvis was in singing? Then it shifted to; how do I know I am not as talented and gifted? All of our gifts/talents come from God. So who is to say that we are all as talented as some of the great people that have lived. We have to learn to operate in our gift/talent area. We have to grow, mature and learn how to be the person that God intends on us being. You have greatness inside of you, just as I do. We have to set aside our fear and doubts to set out in that area. What steps do you need to take to bring out your inner greatness? What will you do today to begin the process of living out your purpose in life? There is awesomeness residing within you and me.

A New Level
God will never ask you to do something without putting His ability to do it on the inside of you.
You may be at a place where you can easily become discouraged and give up on what God has placed in your heart. But the good news is that, God has spoken a promise over you that will not die. You can try to ignore it, and your mind will try to convince you that it’s never going to happen. But deep down, you’ll feel a burning, a restlessness, a fire. That’s the promise that God has put in you. What God has spoken over your life will happen. Some people look to others to fulfill their destiny but you have to realize you are the right person. You don’t need anyone else to give birth to what God has placed in your heart. You are equipped. You are gifted. You are talented. You have what it takes. The gift, the promise, is in you. Now is the time for you to stir up what’s on the inside. It’s time for you to rise to a new level and do something great for God.

Be a Giver
When you think you have nothing left to give; that’s when you really can start giving. When you think you are at your wits end; that’s when you can really have some awesome ideas.
There are people all around you right now that need what you have. It may be material goods or it may be an encouraging word. When we think we can’t help others is when we can help the most. When we get our minds off our own circumstances and help others become who they were created to be; then we will be blessed beyond our wildest dreams. When we spend all our time trying to get for ourselves and ignore the needs of others we will spend our life frustrated and always wanting more. To be fulfilled in your life use your talent/gift to see to the needs of others. All your needs and then some will be met as a result. The sayings; “What you sow you will reap,” and “What goes around comes around,” will be working on your behalf. Be a giver today and see awesome results.

Packed Up
Just like we pack our bags for a trip, making sure to leave nothing out, God has packed our bags for our destiny. He has left nothing out.
God has anointed you and equipped you with everything you need to fulfill your destiny. You have the right gifts, the right talents, the right personality. Everything about you is right. He has anointed you to fulfill your destiny. That means because of his strength and power in your life, you can do all things though Him and be successful in life. Sometimes there are gifts and talents inside of us that are not easily recognized. Maybe they don’t come as natural and easy as our other gifts. But, they are still on the inside in seed form placed by God. They may be in the form of a desire, a dream, or a hope for the future. Those seeds are developed by believing God has equipped us and anointed us. They are developed by stepping out and stretching. They are also developed through perseverance. When situations become tough, life tries to push you down, and people try to talk you out of your dreams, you have to push through in God’s strength knowing that you have what it takes. When you understand your value and worth and realize you were created by God, that you are lacking nothing, that’s when you will get a new perspective for your journey and God-given assignment. That’s when you’ll being to step out in faith and see God do amazing things in your life.
