"Whoever can be trusted with very little can also be tusted with much." Luke 16:10
So if you're asking God to make you bigger instead of better; you may be disappointed. All the prayers in the world won't pressure Him into giving you what you're not ready to handle.
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow said "Most of us would succeed in small things if we weren't so troubled with blind ambition." the drive to be bigger can give you ulcers, keep you awake at night, and stop you from enjoying the Blessing God has already given you. Better may be harder to measure and not as glamorous, but the inner stability that comes from gradual success is more valuable and lasting. Think about it!
MAKE YOUR LIFE COUNT
Maximize what God's given you.
Start where God put you.
- Focus on what God called you to do.
"Still I Rise"
BY: Maya Angelou
You may write me down in history
With your bitter, twisted lies,
You may trod me in the very dirt
But still, like dust, I`ll rise.
Does my sassiness upset you?
Why are you beset with gloom?
`Cause I walk like I`ve got oil wells
Pumping in my living room.
Just like moons and like suns,
With the certainty of tides,
Just like hopes springing high,
Still I`ll rise.
Did you want to see me broken?
Bowed head and lowered eyes?
Shoulders falling down like teardrops.
Weakened by my soulful cries.
Does my haughtiness offend you?
Don`t you take it awful hard
`Cause I laugh like I`ve got gold mines
Diggin` in my own back yard.
You may shoot me with your words,
You may cut me with your eyes,
You may kill me with your hatefulness,
But still, like air, I`ll rise.
Does my sexiness upset you?
Does it come as a surprise
That I dance like I`ve got diamonds
At the meeting of my thighs?
Out of the huts of history`s shame
I rise
Up from a past that`s rooted in pain
I rise
I`m a black ocean, leaping and wide,
Welling and swelling I bear in the tide.
Leaving behind nights of terror and fear
I rise
Into a daybreak that`s wondrously clear
I rise
Bringing the gifts that my ancestors gave,
I am the dream and the hope of the slave.
I rise
I rise
I rise.
