"Start where you are. Use what you have. Do what you can." Arthur Ashe
I think that, when it comes to our dreams and hopes that God places within our hearts, so many times they seem so big that we get overwhelmed on how it is that we are supposed to reach them. We don't know how we are going to get from where we are now to that point that we are dreaming of. It seems practically impossible. But lucky for you, my friend, our God is not a practical God, and if you would step up and begin to do your part today, you are going to begin moving closer to that finish line, and you are going to reach that dream.
So, how is it that we begin to start going after this dream? We don't have anything that we need to get there, we aren't capable of doing this or that, at least not yet, and we just aren't ready or equipped for what we are supposed to be doing. So what is it that we can do? Well you see, you don't have to have right now what you are going to need to fulfill that dream. You don't have to have the money, the strength, or the resources, but rather, you can start right where you are with what you do have.
Now I know, what you can do now may seem insignificant compared to everything else that lies ahead of you, but my friend, if God sees us using what He has given us and doing all that we can to follow this dream that He has placed within our hearts, He is going to see us doing this and He is going to send us higher. He is going to cause what we are doing with what we have here and now to take us to new levels that we would have never dreamed that it could, and when you get to that new place, and you begin doing the same thing, the cycle is going to continue until eventually, we are living this dream!
But today, as insignificant or small as it may seem, I want you to start doing what you can with what you have, because when you do this, you may not see it right away, but you are working to get yourself closer to living this dream, and when God sees you doing this, and when He does His part, you, my friend, are going to soar to new heights that you would have never thought your seeming to be insignificant acts could get you.
Amen:):):)
