Why are you rejecting what GOD says about you as if it isn't the Truth? You haven't even met your true self yet! GOD KNEW YOU BEFORE YOU WERE IN YOUR MOTHER'S WOMB!!!

Do you feel just a general anxiety (or fear) ALL THE TIME? Does peace feel foreign to you or uncomfortable, so even when you're NOT anxious (fearful) you search out the feeling because you don't feel "normal" without it?

And HE'S PERFECT and ALWAYS on time. AMEN  Scripture References: 1 Timothy 4:12 ESV...

Don't throw it out...refresh it!!! GOD knows and understands that sometimes we need "fresh" fields of service. It's ok to ask HIM to try something new, or lead you to something different within the same vein. For example, maybe you don't need a new church, just a new place to serve within the same church. Maybe you don't need a new house, just a coat of paint in the one you have...ask GOD to "refr...
