“You were running well; who hindered you from obeying the truth? This persuasion did not come from Him who calls you.”
Galatians 5:7-8 NASB
Who made you think that you are disqualified from sharing the Gospel?
Who made you doubt that you are truly forgiven and running a race of faith to receive a future reward?
Who has told you that you are not good enough to serve the church established by Jesus?
Who has told you that your failures make you unfit to proclaim His name?
Who hindered you?
Was it the sweet old church lady who said your dress wasn’t long enough?
Was it the one who said you need to cut your hair or shave your face?
Was it the preacher who said you probably aren’t saved if you say a cuss word when you get mad?
Who hindered you?
No person is ever good enough, holy enough or ready enough to be saved, serve or show up to church.
When you believe in Jesus and have faith in Him, God will only see Jesus’ righteousness when He looks at you.
So don’t let others hinder you. Share the Gospel with others. Serve and love others. And let the Holy Spirit do His work in you.
