Something you do well
+++++++++++++++++++
Focus on something that you do well and find a way to do it even better. The substance of value that you create is never wasted.
Choose something that you do well and find a way to make the fruits of your efforts available to those around you. By providing real value to others, you expand the treasures in your own life.
Take something you do well and find a way to make it enjoyable. The more you enjoy what you’re doing, the more effective you’ll be.
Find something you do well and teach it to others. The more you can duplicate your efforts, the more value there is for everyone.
Look at something you do well and consider the real, lasting sense of fulfillment it can bring. Remember that life is about making a difference.
The things you do well provide you with the opportunity to give of yourself in real and meaningful ways. That’s an opportunity you don’t want to miss.
Ralph Marston
Quick Thought:
“I would have lost heart, unless I had believed that I would see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living. Wait on the LORD; be of good courage, and He shall strengthen your heart; wait, I say, on the LORD!” Psalm 27:13-14 (NKJ)
Mark 14:53-65
“And they led Jesus away to the high priest; and all the chief priests and the elders and the scribes gathered together. And Peter had followed Him at a distance, right into the courtyard of the high priest; and he was sitting with the officers, and warming himself at the fire.”
“Now the chief priests and the whole Council kept trying to obtain testimony against Jesus to put Him to death; and they were not finding any. For many were giving false testimony against Him, and yet their testimony was not consistent. And some stood up and began to give false testimony against Him, saying, “We heard Him say, ‘I will destroy this temple made with hands, and in three days I will build another made without hands.’” And not even in this respect was their testimony consistent.”
“And the high priest stood up and came forward and questioned Jesus, saying, “Do You make no answer? What is it that these men are testifying against You?” But He kept silent, and made no answer. Again the high priest was questioning Him, and saying to Him, “Are You the Christ, the Son of the Blessed One? And Jesus said, “I am; and you shall see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of Power, and coming with the clouds of heaven.”
“And tearing his clothes, the high priest said, “What further need do we have of witnesses? You have heard the blasphemy; how does it seem to you?” And they all condemned Him to be deserving of death. And some began to spit at Him, and to blindfold Him, and to beat Him with their fists, and to say to Him, “Prophesy!” And the officers received Him with slaps in the face.” Mark 14:53-65 (NAS)
John 10:7-10
“Jesus therefore said to them again, “Truly, truly, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep.”
“All who came before Me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not hear them.”
“I am the door; if anyone enters through Me, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.”
“The thief comes only to steal, and kill, and destroy; I came that they might have life, and might have it abundantly.” John 10:7-10 (NAS)
