The Label Lady

Have you seen all her labels? My mind would of course go to her collection of amazing shoes or handbags. However, I am talking about the other labels, you know the ones we give ourselves and others.
Incapable,  ill-equipped, sinner, selfish, jealous, wounded, prideful.
I write today from not a place of totally freedom, rather a path to victory. When I don't see myself as Christ sees me I am living in a crippled state. I have put on labels that truly never existed, rather my crazy mind made them up.
The thief comes to steal,  kill and destroy, but I have come that they may have life and have it abundantly. John 10:10
The enemies goal is to destroy us, we allow him this right when we become enemies in our mind of who God created us to be. 
I am not equipped to lead, teach, worship, pastor, mother, serve, befriend or anything else my own. I put barriers around myself and allow things that truly aren't happening to jack up my perspective of what God is actually doing. Can I get an Amen! I may only be speaking to myself, but I am the only one responsible for keeping myself in the rut of an untrue, unwanted label. Did you catch the 2nd part of John 10:10... Jesus came to give us life. That alone is enough but, he goes on to say life abundantly!!!!! Abundant. Whenever I find my mind living in a place of fear or scarcity I will cling to these words. Imagine the things we could do for the kingdom if we took off the labels and put on abundant living.

Abundant
