1st Place is mine!

I’m not going to live my life for second best anymore.

I am going to grab with all my might (and all my faith) for the very best that God has for me. I am not going to allow myself to be shunted off to the side. I am not going to be satisfied with licking up the crumbs in life. Nor will I allow those I love to spend their days in the dregs of life, either; with everything that God puts within me, I will pull them out of their circumstances and into the dreams and futures that God has laid out for them.

I do not want to be a second-class citizen anymore. I want to live my life as an ambassador for the King of Kings.

I do not want to be downtrodden, cast aside, and spit upon by life. I do not want my life to suck. I want to be used mightily of God; I want to have purpose, I want to have dignity, and I want to be showered in blessings.

I do not want to be the beggar, trying to get what I do not really feel like I deserve to get. I want to be the prince. I want to be the priest, the prophet, the king, the one of royal blood who gets every opportunity to excel and succeed in life.

I am sick of feeling like what I want, I cannot have. I am tired of living life scared; scared of losing, scared of winning, scared of not having, scared of not be able to succeed. I want the quiet confidence, that whatever my God and Father wants me to have, He will give to me.

I do not want those I love to suffer. I do not want them to come into my life, only to have the devil has his way with them, laughing all the way as he triumphs over me time and time again. I want those whom I love and care for, to be mightily blessed of God, to flourish and prosper and to know God in more real ways each and every day, to glory in His presence and His love in their lives.

I want everything I touch, to be blessed and prosperous. I want to have the joy of the Lord, and to be constantly aware of how much my God loves me.

I want the dreams that God has given to me, to be fulfilled by God in my life.

All I want, is everything that God wants for me, and everything that I should have.
