The New You
Don’t put your mind into slumber.
Don’t put your life on hold.
Dream big! Take risks!
Let it all be told, that the new you,
Never settles for the status quo.
Our theme for this month gave me much thought of how important it is to be constantly growing, constantly improving and moving forward.
I had my share of wanting to put my life on FREEZE or ON HOLD. These were moments when you just want to look and see how far you’ve gone, how much you’ve accomplished and if life still has significant meaning.
It’s been almost 7 years in the ministry that God called me, and thank God, every mornings has always been a warm welcome of new beginnings and exciting undertakings. Life taught me to remind myself to ask for what purpose I’m doing the things I do each day. And always it leads me back to what I see at our bookshops, at our bookfairs at the different bookstores where our books are, the many faces and lives that are transformed and changed as they encounter God and His love. Nothing beats that kind of experience. With this, you can’t help but be move to raise your bar of excellence, to reach your fullest potential, to never settle for the status quo. To never let failure paralyze you, to fail forward, admit mistakes, stay current, to dare to dream big!
Friends, continuous improvement is not just because you would want to see yourself on top of things, it’s giving God the honor he so greatly deserve, of the many talents and gifts that He bestowed to us and making it of use for others. Let our lives be fully surrendered to Him as we attempt great things for our great God.
