Welcome to the Masquerade [Part 2]

We started by talking about those of us who deal with
thoughts of inadequacy most are often the people who
most seem to have it all together. They are
often extremely successful. I ended my last
post asking if you were willing to leave the
masquerade? Are you going to quit pretending
that you don't have any problems with the mind game
of inadequacy. The second question I would like
to ask is...
Are you avoiding your God-given purpose?
You’ve heard God speak this to your heart. Odds are it’s the very thing that gives you those feelings of inadequacy. Often we don’t feel worthy. Let me clue you in, we aren’t worthy. We don’t deserve it. So then we make excuses as to why we aren't doing what God has called us to do. Typically people make excuses because they are either lazy or scared... So which are you? Lazy?? Or scared??
Maybe you strive to succeed, to be noticed in everything else but when it comes to this you make up every excuse you can to run away from it. When he was in front of people Moses seemed like he had it all together, but behind closed doors, (in Exodus 4) when it was just him and God--he was a wreck.
Part of our definition of inadequacy is an inability to fulfill a given purpose. Do you feel that you have an inability to fulfill your God-given purpose?
