Sing your Song

A bird doesn't sing because it has an answer, it sings because it has a song. - Maya Angelou

The Good Samaritan didn't solve all the world's problems, but he did do one thing - love his neighbor. God was well pleased. Hmm!

It would be great to know each day exactly what activities God wanted us to accomplish, or people He wanted us to witness to, but it is not always that simple. And if we stop and think about it, we don't need to know all the exact details, that's God's business; we just need to be obedient to what we already know to do - go and tell the good news, love one another - and that will suffice. May we all have that song in our hearts today.

Until tomorrow.....

"Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God - this is your spiritual act of worship." - Romans 12:1

Infectious Greatness

A leader's most powerful ally is his or her own example. - John Wooden

Paul said he became 'whatever' it took to win one to Christ. Wow!

Magic vs. Bird. Steph vs. Lebron. All champions in their own right, but it seems Magic and Steph have a charisma that infected those they played beside with enthusiasm, excitement, and FUN. Our faith should be somewhat like that, so noticeable that it impacts and infects those we're with a good deal of the time. We should live our life and do our jobs as if Jesus were our immediate supervisor (He is). Who we work for and the type of work doesn't really matter, our attitude is what's important, and it's what God looks upon (heart). Each day we should seek the Holy Spirit and ask Him to help us do the job with pleasure, determination, and confidence - this will not only attract others, but also allow us the opportunity to 'infect' them. Not only is it a great feeling, but it leaves the door open for great things to happen, and that's what leaders do, provide opportunities for greatness to enter. Are you in?

Until tomorrow......
