God Needs You
When Australia was a new nation, its leaders selected a crest to represent the country. Two animals stood, one on each side of the crest – the kangaroo and the emu.
The two animals were chosen because of a unique common characteristic – while each turns their head to glance backward in order to get their bearing, they always move forward.
Though each animal is very swift afoot (30 mph) neither is able to walk backwards.
The founders of Australia wanted their country represented by what moved forward, never backward. Kangaroos and emus look back and leap forward.
There are two times when individuals and organizations have a tendency to stop – after a defeat and after a victory. Such lack of progress greatly affects momentum.
Persistent people begin their success when most others quit.
One person with commitment, persistence and endurance will accomplish more than 1,000 people with interest alone.
The past is for remembering, not living. Life is understood backwards, but lived forward.
Most of us have dreams, plans for how we desire our lives to be lived. And most of us will die without achieving many of them.
Have you ever wondered what God has dreamed, planned for you?
When He created you, who did He mean? Plato said, “You did not come into the world by accident, but at the very moment God had need of you.”
Whatever God has dreamed, planned for your life is something the world greatly needs.
