Excuses, Excuses

Luke 14:17-18 (NKJV) and sent his servant at supper time to say to those who were invited, 'Come, for all things are now ready.' But they all with one accord began to make excuses. The first said to him, 'I have bought a piece of ground, and I must go and see it. I ask you to have me excused

Sometimes it seems the biggest thing holding us back is us. We often know the road to take, the correct way to act or react, or the proper attitude to have, but find ourselves all too often retreating behind a wall of excuses. "I can't," do this or that because..."I don't have the time, or the money, or the energy." Or perhaps, "It's not my gift, or my calling." Or maybe it's because, "They should ask someone better than me because I'm just not good enough." We blaze a trail of excuses that takes us far and away from opportunities to serve, to give, to love, and to live life to the fullest in Christ. In Jesus, we have callings, dreams, desires, and aspirations. We see in ourselves the potential to become something more in Him. We know that all things are possible with Christ, and that He can help us overcome all obstacles. The question then to ask is, :What's holding us back?"

Have A Blessed Day
