No one can put a limit on you without your permission. Beware of those who stand aloof and greet each venture with reproof; the world would stop if things were run by men who say, "It can't be done." "Seek and ye shall find" (Matt. 7:7). We attain only in proportion to what we attempt. More people are persuaded into believing in nothing than believing too much. You are never as far from the answer as it first appears. It's never safe or accurate to look into the future without faith. Tell me what you believe about Jesus, and I will tell you some important facts about your future. What picture of Jesus do you have? Is He merely a good man with good ideas? Or is He the Son of God, our advocate before God, the King of Kings and Lord of Lords? A lot of people no longer hope for the best, they just hope to avoid the worst. Many of us have heard opportunity knocking at our door, but by the time we unhooked the chain, pushed back the bolt, turned two locks and shut off the burglar alarm - it was gone! Too many people spend their lives looking around, looking down or looking behind, when God says to look up. The sky's not the limit! Take the lid off. - John L Mason, from the book You're Born An Original, Don't Die A Copy. (to find out more about this book, please go to www.freshword.com/resources) |
