Good morning everyone,

Jeremiah 1:11,12-And the word of the Lord came to me, saying, "Jeremiah, what do you see?" And I said, "I see an almond branch." Then the Lord said to me, "You have seen well, for I am watching over my word to perform it."

If you read the first 10 verses leading up to this point between God and Jeremiah, you see God giving a very young boy at this time a call that would pronounce the soon coming judgment of Israel. Yet Jeremiah used a perceived "limitation" to try and disqualify himself from his call.

Jeremiah is so familiar for me personally, but I know this same perception is in many Christians I’ve spoken to over the years. Somehow we all think that we have some limitation that God hasn’t seen before He created us and called us. But I believe that limitation we perceive is meant to push us to be utterly dependent on Christ alone, not disqualify ourselves from His call.

Jeremiah was tested not for his age, but his ability to see what God is revealing to him. Vision or "seeing God" is all you need to do God’s will. Our perception of ourselves aside, when you "see" God through a pure heart, you become more preoccupied with His mighty grace to work through you, rather than any limitation or failure you have experienced. Sincerely desire to "see" God and what He has to reveal to you, and you will war against all things that tries to limit you from your purpose. Remember Matthew 5:8 "Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God."

In His Love, Ld
