I used to be the type of person who wouldn’t make a move until someone affirmed me.
Or if I deeply believed in something, but I was the only one who felt that way, I would just remain quiet.
I was like that all my life.
And don’t get me wrong, words of affirmation are nice. But when they hold you back from doing something that you know God said to do, saying something that God has told you to say, or going somewhere that God has told you to go, it’s no longer cute. Because then it’s disobedience.
I’m guilty of saying things like, “I’ll wait for my Pastor to say it,” after God had already told me a thing.
I leaned so much on the words of man instead of God.
Because honestly, I thought God talking to me was too good to be true. So I needed someone else to say what He said so I could believe it.
But I’m coming up out of that.
I’m learning to trust that if God said it, I don’t need another person to validate it before I obey it.
