I remember a while ago being empowered by a statement like this: "The definition of hell on earth is the person who you are now, seeing the person you could have been, walk right in front of you." Oooouuuchhh. This statement alone has kept me motivated during my most trying times.
My Pastor said get off the sidelines and get in the game today during service. Now of course his purpose was to inspire the church to stop sitting on their hands and waiting for someone else to do it. God's gifts are given without repentance but I'm pretty sure God is upset when we abuse or not use them at all. And this surely applies to all walks of life as well.
We have been a part of many organized athletic teams and none of them compare to this Spiritual team that we are a part of now. People are so different and gifted in more ways than I can count and because of this phenomenon we can universally function better with diversity.
The church suffers a million deaths a day when pieces of the puzzle are missing. What I mean by missing puzzle pieces is; each one of our talents serve a purpose here on earth and when we selfishly hoard them other people unnecessarily suffer. What's even greater is that these gifts work in your work place as well as in the body... yippee! So now there is no excuse for the dragging of your feet.
If you have gifts lying dormant in you and you know that you are supposed to be doing or creating something please begin with asking God to clearly show you the first step in the right direction and then get moving. So don't give yourself time to him and haw about anything because you don't want to be the person saying "hey that was my idea or I was going to start that business."
Remember "On the other side of your obedience are souls waiting"
Always in Love,
Kevin and Deon
