Are You A Living Contradiction?

A wealth of innovation and anointing!  You open your mouth and people are driven to tears.  You love and serve God and His people with selflessness (at least, that's what you believe).  You are celebrated...when you walk into a room, everyone wants a moment to chat with you.  To the public, you are a wonderful and accomplished human being - someone they look up to.  "God must be pleased with you!"

THEN there's home.  Dishes in the sink, stacks of unpaid bills, a dresser with a section reserved for your medication, a pile of laundry pushed aside so that you at least have a space on the floor to pray, children who wonder why you even bother praying, and the list goes on and on.

Do you sense that there is a "God-greatness" in you, but find that your life doesn't quite match that?  Are you what "they" would call a living contradiction?  Maybe the given example seems a little more dramatic than your own life or maybe that description is not dramatic enough.  However, you have, at some point, felt displaced from who you know you were purposed to be.  Frustrating, isn't it?

As we are living out this human experience we must remember that life is made up of moments and movement.  Each morning remind yourself that every tomorrow places you further and further away from your yesterday.  So technically, it is impossible to get stuck because the past has already happened and is now behind you.  The person you see in the mirror right now has the potential to be greater than that tomorrow.  You are not a contradiction...You are God's prediction!

So right now, send a text message to your children to wash the dishes and separate the colored clothes from the white clothes when they get home from school.  Then when you get home, set a pay schedule of small increments to be sent to your creditors...do something.  DO SOMETHING that will move you out of this moment and closer to your greatness.  And remember to celebrate each moment because you are still ALIVE!!
