Philippians 1:29
"For it has been granted to you that for the sake of Christ you should not only believe in him but also suffer for his sake."
"For it has been granted to you that for the sake of Christ you should not only believe in him but also suffer for his sake."
There are things I love to do. I love being with people. I love being creative. I love starting things. I dislike following through on boring details, math, follow-up and explaining details. Details destroy my creativity. But God--well He is in to details. God is in to finishing what He starts. God is into math and time management, my personal two weakest areas. I just work until I'm done, that does not mean until the job is finished, it means until I am finished. I can see you smiling. Some of you are like me. Well, get over it. God is not going to change, so that means we have to!
I've just bared my soul to you. I would rather be beaten than have to start over from scratch. That start was a hard enough scratch--please don't make me do it again. However, working with people you need to do a lot of start overs, start agains and start news. It's great when it's God doing it for us--not so great when we have the opportunity to do it for others. Somedays, it seems all I do is start over at point "A" with new people. I think to myself, "Why am I even bothering? This didn't stick the last time. That person left. I did this once already." Then, God reminds me of how He has began again with not just me, but countless people and still--His mercies are new every morning. So, here is to starting over. Let's never grow weary of being Christ like. He certainly isn't done with any of us.
Make a great day. If life gives you Avocados make Guacamole, and have a Fiesta!
