I’m Convinced

Last week I posed the question just how committed are you. I wrote about my peaks and valleys as far as commitment is concerned. As I pondered my commitment another thought came to mind. The more I thought about how committed I am to forging my way towards my destiny the more determined I became to move forward.

This determination has moved me to a new level of commitment which I refer to as being convinced. You can commit yourself to a task, or a plan. You can even commit yourself to an idea but being convinced brings on a certain drive.

When you are convinced of your destiny you settle within yourself that whatever it is that you are expecting to happen will happen and no one can convince you otherwise.

I have set certain goals for myself. My sister has told me I’m not a realist. If I was a realist why would I need faith? I’m an eternal optimist, always have been and always will be. I believe. I believe, yes I believe.

I am convinced beyond a shadow of a doubt that everything that has been placed in my spirit will come to pass. Every idea, every project, every dream, vision or thought whether spoken out loud or heard through meditation is mine. I have taken hold of them all and will not let go. Just as Jacob stated in Genesis 32:26 I will l not let go until you bless me.

I will not give up, slow down, turn in another direction or quit. I am convinced that I am exactly where I am supposed to be doing exactly what God has predestined me to do.

What about your? Are you committed and or convinced? Are you determined to go all the way? Have you settled in your mind that this is it and there is no turning back? Are you ready to forge ahead or are you content to watch others move forward while you sit quietly in the background wishing it was you? Wishing won’t get you anywhere but making a commitment to move forward will give you the drive to be convinced.
