The Best in Me

The other day I was in the Christian bookstore browsing around and discovered Pastor Marvin Sapp’s new CD. With great anticipation I immediately broke open the cover and inserted the CD and begin listening to each song, normally it takes 2-3 times before a song really grabs my attention. But when I came to track 9 and began to listen to the words of Pastor Sapp, an emotion came over me like never before. I began to replay in my mind how many times I have made wrong decisions in life. How people have criticized, passed judgment, condemned and even attacked other people. How people will try to build themselves by tearing others down, how they have spread vicious rumors to bring hurt, harm and damage to the emotions of others. I know there are times when we feel like failures, feel like giving up, throwing in the towel, getting out of the race, just plain quitting, but that’s when you need to repeat the words of Pastor Sapp:

"He saw the best in me, when everyone else around me, only saw the worst in me. He’s mine, and I’m His, it doesn’t matter what I did, He only sees me for who I am"

When I discover that no matter what I’ve done in my life, God sees something in me. God sees something in you that no one has yet to see, the best of you has not come out of you and God wants you to know he is ready to bring you out of the chains, shackles, and the restraints that are keeping you in bondage. The enemy doesn’t want us to share our stories because this is when you gain your breakthrough, your deliverance, being set free by the power of Jesus Christ. Realize we are more than conquerors, realize that we are not defeated but victorious, and claim your victory in Jesus name. Let the best come out of you and begin to walk in your destiny, and watch God move in your life like never before. God sees the best in us and he is calling us to come forward to bring glory to his name! I challenge you to make that move, you’ll be glad you did!
