"But He Had"

Now Naaman was commander of the army of the king of Aram. He was a great man in the sight of his master and highly regarded, because through him the Lord had given victory to Aram. He was a valiant soldier, but he had leprosy.

2 Kings 5:1 NIV

Beloved, You don't have to be perfect and hopefully this set somebody free on today.

You don't have to be perfect in order to get some things perfectly done.

Naaman got a lot done, he got a lot accomplished, but he was not perfect. He was considered a great man, a man highly regarded, but he was not a perfect man.

But because of the God he had on his side, he was given victory over those who came up against him despite having leprosy, despite being a man flawed by illness.

So, While you may not be the one society would pick to be rewarded, because man is (always) looking at your outward appearance and needing everything to "appear" just right for the camera, for social media etc. 

God is looking at your heart (1Sam 16:7), and though there may be flaws on the outside due to an illness, due to a disability, due to an accident you were in etc...

If you keep seeking the Lord. Heb 11:6 (NKJ) If you keep serving the Lord...He will; just like he did for Naaman cause men to see your greatness and speak highly of you, and give no mention of what you're going through or have been through.

"But he had leprosy"....Notice how those words came last after everything else had been said. The leprosy was an after thought. It was no longer the 1st thing people thought of when it came to him.

And it will be that way for you too. There is victory being prepared for you, there is positive words to be spoken about you. Soon your issue will be an after thought.

People won't always see you the way you're being seen right now...You're not alone in how you're feeling, but this too shall pass.

Read this message over & over UNTIL you receive it and allow your heart to heal. Because who the Son sets free is free indeed.

John 8:36 NIV

Until Next Sunday.
