“… …
Esther, a Jewish girl married to a pagan
king, broke with long-standing tradition, marched into her husband’s throne
room, spoke her mind, and rescued her people from annihilation. One girl saved
a nation because she was willing to put everything on the line.
Are you feeling inadequate today? Are you
thinking, ‘someone else should be doing this job instead of me?’ Then read
these words written by clergy Edward Everett Hale: ‘I am only one; but still I
am one. I can’t do everything; but still I can do something: and because I
can’t do everything, I will not refuse to do the something I can do.’
How many people did it take to rescue the
dying man on the Jericho Road? (Luke 10:25-37) One Good Samaritan. How many
people did it take to confront Pharaoh and lead the exodus out of Egypt? One man,
Moses. A respected leadership expert writes: ‘God has put
a dream inside you. It’s yours and no one else’s. It declares your uniqueness.
It holds your potential. Only you can give birth to it. Only you can live it.
Not to discover it, take responsibility for it and act upon it is to negatively
affect yourself as well as those who would benefit from your dreams.’
Poet John Greenleaf Whitter wrote, ‘For all
sad words of tongue and pen; the saddest are these, “it might have been.”’ In
your twilight years, will you look back and feel like you have spent your life
struggling to fulfill other people’s expectations? Or know that you lived it to
the fullest by striving to fulfill your God-given dream?
Think about it now, while there’s still time
to change direction.
