Often, in the conversations about having a “why,” we hear about the benefits
Like it being our North Star and keeping us going when the going gets tough or when life be life-ing
But what tends to be left out of those conversations is how intimidating our whys can be and/or how much they can lead to imposter syndrome
Because of their sheer size or the gap between what we want to achieve vs our experience/skill set
This is why I’m always comforted when I read stories about people who were confronted with huge tasks that God wanted them do and had similar responses
Like:
Moses: who pointed out his stutter (as a disqualifying factor) when God called him to be His mouthpiece
Peter: who told Jesus to get away from Him (because he felt unworthy) when he realised who He was
Esther: who initially rejected her uncle’s plea to see the King because it was against the rules
Sarah: who laughed when she heard she’d bear a child in her old age
The biggest thing that we can learn from those stories and apply to our own lives is that, as much as we may want to banish imposter syndrome because of how debilitating it can be, it doesn’t have to be that way
Because “[God’s] grace is sufficient… and [His] strength is made perfect in [our] weakness”
All of that to say…
