Many people live at a level lower than they really should because they’re intimidated by everything and everyone around them. For instance, someone may deserve to have a promotion, a raise or an official car at work, but he doesn’t because he never asked for it. He feels someone at his level doesn’t deserve to have such things and shouldn’t even dare to ask for them.
He says, “Do you know how many people are ahead of me who don’t have those things? How could I ever ask for so much?”
Are you a child of God? Then don’t ever underrate yourself! Jesus is in you. You see, you may be entitled to a good housing allowance, but you didn’t realize it and you never asked for it. You’re waiting on the promotion that will take you one little step after the other until you get there. Take a bold step and go ask for it with a kind smile. You deserve it because you’re a child of God!
Get yourself dressed up and ready for the top. Square your shoulders and take your steps. Do you understand what I am talking about? Don’t be intimidated by anybody. You’re the King’s kid. Everybody should turn and look at you when you step in. When you talk to people, they ought to be blessed by your words.
Do you know there’s something about your smile? Use it. It’s a victor’s smile, a winning smile, and it’s influential. It will attract to you the things and people you require to achieve your dreams.
Value yourself. God wants to do great things and you’re the one He wants to use.
