It happened again the other day: I had someone come to me and tell me that they just didn’t have it in them to succeed at a specific task. We talked a bit and I encouraged and reminded the individual that one’s strength comes from within. For those who have a spiritual walk that strength comes from within through Grace.
I’m reminded of the story of a Welshman by the name of Paul Potts who by his own admission, lacked self-esteem and suffered during his school experience, being bullied and ridiculed. He felt he just lacked the confidence to pursue his dream of being a professional singer. Paul attracted my attention because we share a Welsh heritage and because despite his misgivings, he forged ahead and auditioned for Britain’s Got Talent. In this clip, you can visit his journey that wound up finding him as an international opera star.
As you struggle in your day to day experiences, know that the strength to overcome comes from within through Grace. The power that rose Christ from the dead resides in you.
“I know all things you do and I have opened a door that no one can close.” –Revelation 3:8, NLT
