Nothing is more exciting than ---- Fill in the blank. What's the answer for your life? How is God specifically making it happen? And if its not manifested in your life because of God -- why not?
I recently heard: "The opposite of great is good." Why? Why bother with 'great' if 'good' is good enough?
How do you live your life? What adventure are you pursuing because of God's calling and are you doing it with excellence? If you don't have an answer, then why bother?
Is going to church one day a week "good enough"? Is reading your Bible or praying occasionally "good enough"? Mediocrity is ugly. I've seen it in my life and if you're reading this, you have probably too.
"I am a good mother. I am a good wife. I am a good Christian." And you look like everyone around you who is "good" too.
Thank God He didn't think "good" was good enough when it came to redeeming us. Did Christ die on the cross so that our lives would reflect "good enough"?
Now get off your butt. And go be great because the Holy Spirit you got in you is no different than the Holy Spirit in the great saints of the past and present.
