I don't reach out and stay connected with people like I should because Satan's always in my ear convincing me that I have nothing to offer because of my failures, because my life is not perfect or because I haven't attained a certain level of wealth or success. I feel like once I get my life together and do something important then I can be around people because I'll have some value to offer and then it will be worth it for them to have me around.

But if I pay attention, Satan's tactic is always diversion. In this case, he deceives me into placing the focus on myself. Satan cannot overcome the Light so he works to turn us from the Light. As a follower of Christ, I know that the Power to help others is not in me but in the One who uses me.

And so, I must fight to make myself available because my faith is in God who is able to make straight paths with crooked lines. I must trust He is powerful enough, brilliant enough… God enough to use me. Yes, even me. #MakeWar #TurnToTheLight
