#786 - A RECOMMITMENT WORTH MAKING
No matter how long you’ve been doing what you do. No matter how experienced you are. No matter how many people look to you for advice. No matter how easy what you do comes to you. Here’s a recommitment all of us should make:
We must get better.
Better leaders. Better parents. Better pastors. Better spouses. Better disciples. Better contributors to our communities.
More skilled. More humble. More compassionate. More sensitive to the voice of the Holy Spirit. More effective. More passionate.
Less impatient. Less prideful. Less negative. Less self-reliant. Less inefficient. Less lazy.
Let’s be grateful for what we’ve accomplished up unto this point, but not complacent. Let’s be content with all that we have done, but still ambitious for all that God wants to do through us. Let’s be aware of how far we’ve come, but also hungry for how far we still have to go.
Repent of the smugness that prevents you from being a lifelong learner.
Recommit, with me, today, to get better.
Because when we get better, everyone else around us benefits!
