Focus

Keep your eyes on where you are going because where you are can detour you. What you focus on will be the direction you go so stay focused on where you want to go and not on your failures. Your going to mess up get over it! Failing doesn't make you a failure...not trying does. Anytime you have a dream in your heart you will have opposition in your life. There are no free rides to your destiny. There will be naysayers along the path...what you listen to long enough you will believe. Be careful what you believe because that is what you become! What you invest time in will become valuable to you so invest yourself wisely. If you choose to spend your time on things that don't move you forward don't be surprised when you move backwards. There are two paths for your life, a right one and a wrong one. What you focus on is the difference between regret and a life well lived. Proverbs 4:21 says to guard your heart with all diligence because out of it flows the issues of life. Paul told Timothy in 1 Timothy 4:14 to not neglect the spiritual gift inside him. Whenever God puts something in our heart you must protect it and be diligent to see it lived out in our life.

You were meant for more!

Wow...Is this really the way it is? Heck yes! THe unfortunate reality is that most of us have gotten comfortable....we live a routine and regular life!

Acts 10:15 says " for that which God has made clean, do not you make common" - all things of God are uncommon, set apart... WILD AND DIFFERENT...shouldn't your life be the same?

I challenge you to live a life full of purpose! Moses parted the red sea. Peter was crucified upside down, Paul was stoned and left for dead...these are not boring men and they certainly did not live boring lives. David defeated Goliath with a slingshot because he was uncommon. While the common folk were frightened and running for fear of their lives, little David stood up to the Giant and cast him down!

Think about it...even today most of the people you look up to in life are people that have done something beyond the norm.

So stop trying to skate by...realize that you were meant for more! Jesus wants more from you.

John 10:10 "The enemy came but to steal, kill and destroy. Yet I have come that you might have life and that more abundantly"

The abundant life awaits you! Are you willing to fight the good fight and live the good life?

Ephesians 3:20 "Now unto him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we can ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us!"

There is that word "abundance" again. Are you willing to tap into that power that God has given you to be more? To be great?

I love you- Point5
