People say they want a lot of things but few go after what they want.
Many things are made available by those who have what others need and yet many go on with their needs unmet.
I love to learn. That is one of my passions. When I can go and I can afford to go--I am there. I must admit there are times when I can not afford to go and still go because I want to learn. This past weekend there was a huge opportunity for many to learn. This opportunity was available to all at an affordable price and I noticed many did not seize the moment. Where were they? What were they doing? I don't know. The bottom line was they were no where in sight.
There was another opportunity this past Sunday. In fact there is an opportunity every Sunday somewhere near everyone and all across the nation I see empty seats.
I asked someone yesterday if they would like me to read to them. They said, "no, if I want to read I can read myself". Truth of the matter is they couldn't. They were old and not well. They were really sick. I asked them if they wanted me to pray for them. "No". With that answer I tried to ignore them and continued to read. Then they ask me if it was a good book I was reading? I said, "The Best.". Silence. I continued to read to myself.
Why is it we as humans are given opportunities every day and yet cease to go for them? Complacency? Fear of Failure? Laziness? I don't know all the reasons for failure to improve, learn, reach out but I would like to.
This weekend I was where I needed to be. That set me up for an opportunity. That opportunity thrust me into my future with a fire and a new attitude. I was at the right place at the right time and I got the blessing I didn't even know was going to be available. Someone was willing and able to read to me, pray for me and it changed my life.
One person refused the life-line the other grabbed it. What was the difference?
I know this is a bit different from my normal blog. I realized I stepped away from Jeremiah for a bit but what about this dilemma?
Please message me and lets dialog about this subject of refusing what we really need and not taking advantage of opportunities we are given. Let's pray for the solutions to the problem of people hurting and yet not seeking help.
