Who Says You’re Qualified?

Are you waiting to feel qualified before taking on the project that God’s stirred in you? If so, ask yourself what’s behind the hesitation.

Often it’s due to our upfront desire for human validation or doubt caused by the enemy’s accusations. 

“Who do you think you are to try this? You’re not an expert on this topic. Far more qualified people have already tackled this topic.” 

Don’t allow these lies to derail you. True creativity isn’t dependent on a degree or reserved for a specialist. No person or organization has been appointed the gatekeeper of God-given creativity. 

God infuses us with gifting and then beckons us to step into it. His invitation isn’t based on our qualifications. He doesn’t ask for our credentials upfront. As our Creator, he simply asks us to pursue our passions together with him through the pain, the questions, and the unknowns.

He qualifies those he calls. That’s the way it’s been since time began. But we must say yes and take the leap of faith. When we do, God then brings others alongside us to help shape and sharpen our work.

Create from that space of wonder, without wondering if you’re qualified.
