Come Get Your Ear Chewed

I'm going to seriously chew your ear.

Well... OK, I'm not talking about "Mike Tyson Style" ear chewing... that's disgusting. I'm talking about giving you a stern talking to about a problem I've got. So here it goes... prepare to get your ear chewed... metaphorically of course.

I have a problem today... my problem is you. I'm taking issue today with how you "measure" yourself. You know what I mean. You're checking yourself out, and making excuses for why you're not doing what you know you need to do. I take even more issue with you about the way you are making excuses or selling yourself short about what you know God is calling you to do.

Listen Buddy... IT'S NOT ABOUT YOU!! Seriously, this thing is so much bigger than you. And you know that. That's why you're making excuses. You're saying "with my lack of education..." "with my limited income..." "with my poor health..." "with all my past mistakes....I don't see how I can succeed."

What you should be doing is realizing that "when you are weak, he is strong." What you should be doing is remembering Ephesians 3:20! It says, "Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us."

God is wanting to do big things in your life, but you keep telling him you can't do it! What he is trying to get through that thick skull of yours' is that HE'S the ONE that CAN!
 
Who determines if you can do this or that? Who determines if you're qualified? Who decides the extent of your blessings? God does! So if he's laid a dream in your heart, stop making excuses. Get to work on it! Do it! Throw away your measuring stick and accept the plan he has for you. You are smart enough, you are capable, you are able! He has put that in you. No more excuses...You can succeed. Did you hear me?

Sorry that I had to get rough with you... but you had it coming. Now come here and give me a hug you rascal...
