In my closing the last time we were together I asked you, “what are you going to do with your desire for more?”
I hope you have had time to think about that because, what an important question considering there must be a greater desire for more within yourself if you are ever going to fulfill the calling and gifts upon your life.
You were born at the perfect time! You are the age you are right now for the generation that you’re in! The people have need of you.
So, Today we take a step forward into a changed Tomorrow! Allowing the old things to pass away so that we can embrace and behold the new. We must live each day with a new perspective of what a relationship looks like with God and what it takes to succeed in our relationships with others. We must go out and bring others in at a level that they have never known. We go from Faith to Faith! Strength to Strength! Glory to Glory, and how else are we going to do that if we are not where we need to be to give and receive.
Many are sitting and waiting for others to be the first to make a change and others to be the first to make a difference, but God has said you are his chosen generation! Each of us has purpose and most of the time the very thing that burdens you, or the very thing you keep seeing need of, is the very thing God puts on your heart to do.
You must choose to Rise To The Mission and not be afraid to be bold in the face of adversity. No matter where you’ve come from or what you haven’t done or have accomplished in your life thus far, there’s always a chance and a summoning to do more! To become more! A better version of you. Molding a better version of the world that you and I live in and breathe in each and every day.
Many can be content where they are and thankful for where they are, but at the same time still strive for greater. Whether you strive to be a better parent. A better friend. A better employee. A better teacher or student, the world still expects more from us since we are the ones meant to use this world which has been given to us and tell it what to do. God put everything here for us that is needed to continue producing.
He has given us visions and dreams to build and grow everything in this earth, but still many are dying with visions, dreams, and plans still on the inside of them, never to have made the impact that was needed generation after generation. While some may focus on fame, fortune and materialistic things, our focus now in these last days must not be the size of something but the stature of it! Which means, it doesn’t matter if you’re 6 feet tall or 4 feet tall, how you treat others and the choices you make moving forward will be the determining factor in what kind of life you’re going to live and what kind of life you will teach others to live.
We must strive for better! We can’t take back the past, but now you do have a say so in what happens in your future. Every moment you are still alive matters! Our goal in the end is to leave this world empty and I bet you have much still to do with your life. I imagine fear has gripped you! Doubt has stopped you! And you have even had times of questioning God on if this is really what I should do?!
Just know this moment will never come back again and this day we will never get back, so this is your moment of truth. To open up your heart, your ears, your eyes, and choose where to go from here. So in my closing, I ask you, “which direction will you choose to take for the rest of your life?”
