God Can Use YOU!

Guest: Neal Jeffrey     

If I Can, Y-yyou Can! Giving All You’ve Got to Become All You Can Be (actual book title) - great book about the life and testimony of Neal Jeffrey

From NealJeffrey.com:

NEAL JEFFREY, former All-American quarterback at Baylor University and quarterback for the San Diego Chargers, learned the meaning of overcoming early in life. A stutterer since childhood, Neal had to find a way to "get through what he couldn't get over" to achieve his lifelong dreams. Today, he is one of America's most powerful and passionate communicators, speaking for corporate conferences, national conventions, sales organizations, sports teams – twice for the New York Yankees – school districts, student groups and churches from coast to coast. Everywhere he goes he inspires audiences to go "higher, swifter, stronger" in the critical areas of life. In addition to a busy speaking schedule, Neal serves as a speaking/teaching minister at the 28,000-member Prestonwood Church of Dallas, Texas, where he has served for over 25 years. He and his wife Sheila live in the Dallas area and have three grown children. His new book, If I Can, Y-Y-You Can! is available nationwide and at info@nealjeffrey.com

God loves you and CAN use you…and He can use your weaknesses for His glory!

What things are in your life that you struggle to trust God with?

The encouraging words of Neal’s mom - I don’t know why, but I just know that God loves you and God is going to use this in your life in some incredible way…we just need to trust Him.

Life Lesson from Neal - the life of comparison is a losing game. If you aren’t confident with who God has made you to be,  you’ll never fully know all that God has planned and prepared for YOU! Don’t waste your time looking at everyone else, wanting to be someone else; spend your time getting to know the God that made you, crafted you, created you - the more you know about Him, the more you’ll know about His plans for your life.

Neal’s wisdom for struggles in life - “Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness. And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.” James 1:2-4

YOU are God’s “masterpiece” - “For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.” Ephesians 2:10

Life Lesson from Neal - we often see ourselves through a negative lens, while others often don’t focus on our negatives as much as we do!

Life Lesson from Neal - my “main assignment” in life is to “love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.” Matthew 22:37

God has a plan for everything…including YOU!
