No excuses? What does this mean? I googled excuse and this is the definition “To serve as justification for…” No excuses means to not make up a justification to get out of doing something. Today I was doing my devotion/prayer time and I just felt this phrase “NO EXCUSES,” placed on my heart. So many times in my life I make up an excuse, so that I don’t have to do something. It usually is something that will make me uncomfortable. It could be something like “ well… I would go to my youth group if it was on Wednesdays instead of Sundays.” Or I would be sitting in church and the leader says come up if you feel like God is leading you to do so. I would think to myself “Well I’m okay, I don’t need to do that.” All of those examples are of me making excuses for myself to not have to step out of my comfort zone and be uncomfortable. I sat in chapel at my school today… not expecting to get anything new out of it. It was a special Easter chapel. A youth leader talked about communion and why we do it, to remember what Christ has done for us. He ended with saying anyone can take communion if they want. I sat there for a few minutes, warring against my thoughts. I thought, I don’t need to go up because I’m not feeling called. But then I heard “no excuses Beckah” deep in my heart. I knew that I had to go up, so I did. Through that time I just gave up my excuses to God. This is not the time to hold back. I won’t let my fears, excuses, and selfishness get in the way of the plan God has for my life.
