I have been fighting off some kind of virus for about two months now. As it gets closer and closer to launch, a slight anxiety has settled in about my health and the fact that I don’t feel one hundred percent and the fatigue and congestion that continues to hang around. On top of that I have this looming responsibility as a team leader, (which I am still not sure all that entails but am super excited to be able to serve my team in that way) I want to make sure all of my attitudes are adjusted, the fruit of the spirit present and alive and growing in my life, that I am spending good quality time with the Father.
That’s a lot of “I’s”. That’s a lot of Destiny and Destiny “making sure” everything is in line and on point.
The other day I was chewing on the fact that I need to get my typhoid fever shot and that it could be a nasty mix with whatever this lingering sickness is and I was thinking about how I need to be in perfect health with nothing holding me back.. and then He spoke.
“Destiny, they actually DON’T need you. They don’t need you in top health or your ripe fruit, they don’t need your quiet times and your input.”
“They need ME.”
“They need someone who steps out of the way and lets me step in. They need someone whose life is surrendered and submitted, some who is pliable and has a open humble attitude that knows they are nothing but a tool in My hand. They need MY wisdom and MY spirit, they don’t need lots of Destiny, they need lots of Me.”
I have found over and over in my own life, that’s what I need too. Lots LESS of Destiny and lots more of Him.
