"When Jesus saw the crowds, he had compassion on them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. Then He said to His disciples, 'The harvest is plenitful, but the workers are few.'" Matthew 9:36-37

Forward Focus

"So then, while we have opportunity, let us do good to all people. GALATIANS 6:10"

Some think opportunity has passed them by…some think their opportunity has never been there…some have lost the drive…while others have never been concerned about others. Have you ever considered that maybe you were created for such a time as this? Today! 2010! I used to be told I was too young to fulfill of hopes and dreams that could never be achieved. But now that I am older and the grey in my hair grows, these hopes and dreams have become unrealistic expectations.

Why are they unreal? Because you were told…or because you've never seen them in others…or are you just believing the lie? The lie of “how can I make a difference?”

If you're alive, then you have opportunities: give, write a card, dream big, think small, send an email, make a call, send a text, write a check, give a glass of water, pick up trash, do your best, read more, think more, pray more, love more, sing a song, encourage, speak up, move, change careers, speak less, write more, study less, study more. “…while we have opportunity” My hope is that you will stop believing the lie and know you are right where you are supposed to be…some roads have been tough and unexplainable…some unrealistic to think about…but as you look back to that path you just came from know this-you made it! “…let us do good to all people.”
