The impossible, many times, is just simply the untried. I can remember a time in my life when I was literally frozen with fear at what God had called me to do. It seemed so huge a task that I was unable to bring myself to face it. A friend came to me and spoke two words that broke that paralysis in my life. He said simply, "Do something!" If you are at a point of paralysis in your life because of what God wants you to do, the word for you today is "Do something!" Just think how thankful you would be if you lost everything you have right now and then got it all back again. Wouldn't you be ready to go? Don't worry about the goal; just take the small steps that take you past the starting point. As you climb higher, you'll be able to see much farther. Choose to think eternally, but act daily. The best is yet to come! Many times the final goal seems so unreachable that it keeps us from even making an effort. But, once you've made your decision and have started, you are more than half-way there. God will begin with you today - no matter what your circumstances. Don't be afraid to take small steps. - John L Mason, from the book An Enemy Called Average. Over 500,000 sold! (to find out more about this book, please go to http://www.freshword.com/resources) |
