"If Not Us, Who? If Not Now, When?"

"If not us, who? If not now, when?" John F. Kennedy

 In your life today, maybe you are hearing God's voice, calling to to go somewhere or to do something, but, you feel like anyone else could do a better job than you could, so you tell God that He should give it to someone else. Or maybe it's not the right time, so you are putting if off for a bit, telling God you'll get around to it later. Is this you today, my friend? If so, than I pray that you would find inspiration in this post.
 So, when God gives you a calling or a dream that you just know that you could never accomplish, we figure that God could just give it to somebody else, right? Someone who is more capable, more qualified, and more fit to accomplish it. We hand it back to Him, telling Him that we just can't do it. But, my friend, God just doesn't pass around these callings and dreams that He has for us. No! But He has designed a specific purpose, specific dreams, and specific callings for each and every one of His children, so if we aren't going to fulfill what it is that God had given us the inspiration to do, then who is?
 Now, sometimes it's not a matter of not thinking that we are capable, but a matter of not thinking that we are ready. We tell God that, later, when we have everything together, or next year, when we are a bit smarter, financially stable, or physically stronger, that is when we will go after it. But my friend, not only did God give you specific dream or calling for a reason, but He gave to you it now, right in this moment, for a reason as well. He doesn't want you to put it off, waiting until you think that you are ready, for if He has given it to you, then He has already lined up and planned out everything that you could possibly need along the way.
 So my friends, if we don't take up these dreams or the callings that God has given to us, than who will? And if we don't begin to go after them today, in the moment that God has called us to, than when will we? I encourage you to go out in your life today and begin to go after what it is that God has called you to. For when you realize that, even though you don't think you are capable, God sees you as capable, and is going to grant you with everything that you could need along the way, and even though now may not seem like the right time, you have to know and trust that God works in His timing, not ours, and that His timing that He does work in is perfect. So go after it today, and watch your life begin to flourish like never before.
