YOU ARE NOT DOING TOO MUCH
! You are exactly who God created you to be!
In a world that pressures women ( Especially us Shea butter babies) to shrink, soften, or silence themselves, when Jesus calls us to stand tall, speak boldly, and shine brightly.
Your strength, your voice, your heart, your creativity are not too much. They are evidence of God’s intentional design. You were fearfully and wonderfully made (Psalm 139:14), chosen and deeply loved. In Christ, you are enough because His grace is your sufficiency (2 Corinthians 12:9).
Your identity in Christ sets you free.
You are not defined by your past, people’s opinions, or your own doubts. You are a new creation (2 Corinthians 5:17), handcrafted for purpose and impact (Ephesians 2:10). You don’t have to apologize for your presence or your passion. If you are loud, colorful, weird, talkative, or anything else you can think of, BE JUST THAT! Be loud and proud with who you are. God doesn’t want you to be “less” He wants you to walk boldly in who He made you to be. You are just the right mix of grace and fire, created for such a time as this (Esther 4:14).
For my GIRLS that’s praying for a husband if you don’t have one, I want you to know men fall in love with Who YOU are! If he don’t like that you are too loud or he feels you do too much, ohh well tell him take it up with God! Don’t change who you are for anyone! Someone who is for you is gonna love every part of you! Same goes with finding the right crowd! If your friendship is God ordained, you don’t have to change a single thing about you! Remember being confident in who you are really inspires others! Never dem your light trying to please the crowd!
(SINGS 🎤) BE WHO YOU ARRREEEEEEE, FOR YOU ARE FEARFULLY AND WONDERFULLY MADE! 🎶🎶🎶
Father God,
Thank You for creating me with purpose, beauty, and strength. You formed me with intention, every detail, every trait, every part of me is fearfully and wonderfully made. Help me to walk boldly in who You’ve created me to be, without shrinking to fit someone else’s mold. Let me never forget that I am enough not because of what the world says, but because of who I am in You.
Lord, when the pressure to conform or quiet my voice grows loud, remind me that my identity is rooted in You. Fill me with Your Spirit so I can rise with confidence, stand in truth, and lead with grace. Teach me to value my uniqueness and never trade it for approval. Let me be empowered not by applause, but by Your presence. Use my life to reflect Your light authentically, unapologetically, and courageously.
In Jesus’ name,
Amen.
Thank you all so much! This has also confirmed to me that I’m being obedient and listening more to God’s voice! He knew I would also need this word, because I’ve been hearing all month to live and speak my truth! 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
Great job mel... never dim your light because somebody is intimidated or just plain doesnt like it or understand it but shine brighter n brighter so the world may see it
Let me be empowered not by applause, but by Your presence!! That’s it. Yes, Lord. Don’t let my ambition outdo my anointing! Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in Your sight, oh Lord my strength and my redeemer. Don’t even allow me to desire to be anything other than what you have designed me to be. I will not conform. I will not perform. I will not shrink. I will let my light SHINE! Brightly and unapologetically. Thank you for this beautiful reminder.
This message was much needed. I cant put to the back burner the greatness God has instilled in me. Let my light shine!
It's funny that I would be reading this blog at such a time as this. All my life, i have dimmed my light or shrunk in the background, pushing others up, supporting them, pouring into them, and cheering them on. Now that it's my time to step up, i still stay in the shadows because i feel unqualified. But i was reminded over the entire weekend and today to keep going do not quit. My voice matters, and it's needed. I'm on the right track, and God created me the way that he wanted me to be. I learned that God froms from the end to the beginning. Victory is always the end redult. You may not know the i…
