Today is a special day for me. I just wanted to share something personal with you all. About a week ago, I completed my ordination and became a Reverend. Now, you might be wondering, what does that really mean? Does it mean that I am now holier than thou? No, not at all. To me, this title means that I have made a commitment to my faith and to my journey. It means that I have decided to dedicate my life to ministry, to spreading the message that God has given me to the world.
Have you ever felt like there's something holding you back from sharing your deepest beliefs with the world? Maybe you're a business owner like me, and you have faith in God, the universe, or some other force that drives you forward. You pray in quiet moments for guidance and support, but when it comes time to lead your team and speak to the world, you hold back. You're afraid of being judged or misunderstood, so you keep your faith hidden in the shadows.
I know how that feels because I've been there. I used to think that I had built everything in my life by myself, with no help from anyone or anything else. But the truth is, I know deep down that God was there with me every step of the way. In those quiet moments of prayer, I felt his presence and heard his voice guiding me.
I know that everyone's journey of faith is unique and personal. We each have our own experiences and beliefs that shape us. But I also know that so many people, like my peers in business, are afraid to speak openly about their faith. They wonder why things aren't working out for them, why they feel lost and alone in the darkness.
That's why I want to encourage you to embrace your faith and practice it daily, in whatever way feels right for you. Write down the messages and visions you receive, even if they don't make sense at the time. Trust that someday, they will come together and reveal a greater purpose for your life.
And now, 10 years later, here I am. A Reverend, a minister, and most importantly, a person who has found their faith and their purpose. It hasn't been easy, but it has been worth it. I hope that my story can inspire you to find your own path, whatever it may be.
Taking a leap of faith can be scary, but I believe that every time we do, God is there to catch us. So don't be afraid to speak your truth, to share your beliefs with the world. Embrace your journey of faith and see where it takes you.
"We know that in everything God works for good with those who love him, who are called according to his purpose." Romans 8:28
Blessings on your path,
Rev. Benjamin Norman
