Live Original!

Many people live their lives emulating others.  Some never realize they are created as an “original.”  Born original, we should not live as a ‘copy’ or die as one. 

The beauty of any person’s life is seen as that person embraces fully their ‘originality’.  Your only hope of making a meaningful contribution to life is to live who you really are.

The fact that you were born means God had need of ‘you,’ (the ‘you’ He designed), in the earth.  There will always be some to whom you are sent.  Spend your life with those who celebrate, value, and honor you.  Never allow into your life those who de-value you, disrespect you, or dishonor you.

Someone once said,

Always be where you are.
Where you are determines who you meet. 
Who you meet determines how you think. 
How you think determines what you do. 
What you do determines your destiny.

God’s plan for you is best lived in consecration.  Consecration means “to devote, separate, set-apart.”  The word originally meant “to fill the hand.”

My yielded life fills the hand of God for His Kingdom purposes.  God fills my hand with tools, gifts, talents, abilities and favor necessary to accomplish His will for the ‘original me’.

Live Original!

“Questions & Answers”: Week 1

If you missed this weekend, here is a recap of the message…

 In the book, Letters To a Young Poet, the author says,

“Be patient toward all that is unresolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves like locked rooms and like books that are written in foreign languages…The point is, to live everything, live the questions now.”

Ask questions; live out those questions.  When we ask questions, we obtain answers. We need to be asking questions.  To acquire knowledge, we need to find wisdom.  The Bible contains the wisdom we need for our life. 

God has a purpose and plan for you.  But, are you experiencing questions today about your life, your purpose, your destiny?

We answered these two questions this past weekend:

1. How can I know it’s God’s voice that is speaking to me?
2. How can I know God’s will for my life?

I believe that we listen for what we want to hear. Only when we hear His voice, can we do His will.  We are His sheep; only His sheep hear His voice.  We must be listening for His voice. Remove the distractions and focus on Him.  Through the process, you will hear Him and He will show you His will for your life.

Here are simple steps in the process of knowing and doing His will:

          -Ask God for His help.

          -Trust Him with all your life.

          -Obey what you already know to do.

          -Study His Word.

          -Pray without ceasing.

          -Live surrendered to Him.

We asked some of the most important questions we can ask ourselves during our lifetime.  If you don’t have the answers, you need to ask the question.  God’s waiting for you to speak…
