As I sat down to write this post, hopefully the first of many, to offer a little encouragement here in the mid-week, I started to think of a word that would do just that.
Capable is what came to mind.
ca·pa·ble
adjective \ˈkā-pə-bəl, in rapid speechˈkāp-bəl\
: able to do something : having the qualities or abilities that are needed to do something
: skilled at doing something : able to do something well
How many times have you reminded yourself of how very capable you are?
If you are anything like me you may focus on all the little failures in your life, the reasons you aren’t capable and forget to look and see how amazing that you are.
Each of us was created with talents and abilities. Some of us have a nurturing spirit, others a gift for writing or singing, others are organized and some wildly creative.
While none of us are perfect, we are each capable of making a positive impact in the world around us!
Today instead of focusing on what someone else is doing better than you are – start by naming one thing that you do well.
It can be hard to name our strengths. But it is a good exercise and we need to remember that when we use our God-given capabilities, we are honoring Him.
So today I want you to say out loud – I am capable.
Every time a lie creeps in to tell you that you are not good enough – respond with “I am capable. God created me that way and today I will celebrate all He has done in me!”
And then start living in the freedom that reality will bring you. It might not be easy at first, but I promise it will be worth it.
Because you are worth it!
