First Things First with Christine Caine

No More “If Only”

Is there something God has called you to do, but, for one reason or another, you’ve hesitated?

I want to encourage you today to drop your “if only” — that thing, that excuse you might be holding on to as a reason not to step out in faith. And they can look different for every person:

  • If only I wasn’t divorced.
  • If only I was married.
  • If only I wasn’t hurt.
  • If only I wasn’t betrayed.
  • If only they hadn’t died.
  • If only I hadn’t lost my job.
  • If only I hadn’t failed.
  • If only I had a better start in life.

Don’t let what someone else did or didn’t do define your life. Don’t get stuck in past pain, bitterness, offense, hurt, loss, failure, or even success. Today, push past your “if only” and say “YES” to what God is calling you to do!

With God we will perform valiantly; he will trample our foes (Psalm 60:12, CSB).

Your gift of support today will encourage and propel others in their purpose!
Through the initiatives of Propel Women, Zoe Churches, and the global teaching ministry, which includes the broadcast, podcasts, resources, and YouTube channel, your generosity will make a real, life-changing impact.
