Recently
my hands landed on one of those E.L James’ books, the first one of the trilogy.
I had searched for this particular one for a while and had given up. On one of
my errands while I waited for a client over lunch, comes a guy selling books,
movies, discs all this in a suitcase (what he carried was wayyy bigger than a
briefcase) and there, there was my 50 Shades of Grey! Now the search for Darker
and Freed continuesJ…anyone??
I hooked
myself up with a few more books, among which, is what I want to share with you
today as we go about our everyday. I know from time to time, we all need
someone to stop you and say, hey! It is well, God’s gatchuJ
One of
my favorite men in the world-Joel Osteen, what a wonderful, wonderful man of
God he is! Among his titles-Become a
Better You. I know what you are thinking; yeah…yeah one of those self righteous books-Juice yourself slim in 3
days, Billionaire in 1 day…Blah, blah!! No my dear, Become a Better You is
simply reminding you of how much potential you are full of, all you have to do
is keep stretching to the next level…
I’ve
discovered that God likes to outdo Himself. He wants to show His favor in your
life in greater ways today than He did yesterday. He wants you to be more
blessed tomorrow than you are today. He intends for you to have a greater
impact on the world than you have had. That means if you’re a teacher, you
haven’t taught your best lesson yet. If you are a businessperson, you haven’t
negotiated your best deal yet. If you are a builder, you haven’t built your
best home yet. It’s time to get your hopes up; enlarge your vision and get
ready for the new things that God has on the horizon. Your best days are not
behind you. They are in front of you.
But if
this going to happen, we have to keep pressing forward, stretching ourselves.
Get rid of low expectations. Don’t make little plans for your life. Don’t have
little dreams. Don’t go around thinking, everybody
gets good breaks except me. I’ve reached my limits. I’ll probably never get
this promotion. I don’t know why I am not as talented as that person.
No,
get rid of that defeated mind-set. You are a child of the Most High God. God
has breathed His life into you. He planted seeds of greatness in you. You have
everything you need to fulfill your God given destiny. God has already put in
the talent, the creativity, the discipline, the wisdom, and the determination.
It’s all in you!
Joel Osteen-Become a Better You.
Be
kind to one anotherJ
