(Photo Creds: We Heart It)
I listen almost weekly to a pastor from Charlotte, NC, Steven Furtick, via ElevationChurch.org.
His message this week resonated with me in a terrific way and I knew I had to share it with you. In essence, he was challenging us to STRETCH and GROW OUR CAPACITY. He talked about how we often wait for “ideal conditions” but as a result we often don’t experience the fullness God intended for our lives. The segment that “got me” was this:
“I would if I could.” A phrase no doubt we are all familiar with.
What if however, we flipped the script and it was “I could and I will.” Some examples to get you thinking…
I could forgive, if I WOULD forgive…
I could have joy, if I WOULD decide to be JOYFUL (in all circumstances)…
I could move forward, if I CHOSE TO LET GO…
Folks, I hope this is as powerful to you as it was to me. It truly is a “simple thought,” and I hope that you might join me in flipping whatever script you need to this week. It’s Thanksgiving week and a really perfect time to make a CHOICE to fill our empty jars, by stretching and choosing to be all he intended us to be.
Wishing you so much joy this week!
