What kind of person do you want to be?
This was how Andy Stanley started his message of part 5 of his series “Right in the Eye” which I have been going through at my Friday morning Bible study. If you follow the above link you’ll get to the website and be able to watch the entire series. 🙂
I made some notes of what he said and here they are:
What kind of person do you want to be?
I guess you certainly don’t want to be ordinary. Most people would want to be:Â Extraordinary.
You can choose to be an extraordinary:
~ Employee
~ Boss
~ Son
~ Daughter
~ Person
~ Friend
~ Husband
~ Wife
or even DRIVER!
He suggested each of us can do this:  Try be extraordinary for one week. For the next 7 days, before acting on anything ask your self  what would an extraordinary person do? Especially when it comes to parenting.  Or what would an extraordinary wife or husband do?
You only get to live your life once! Make it extraordinary!
If you take Jesus seriously, you have got to live an extraordinary life.
Everyone deserves to be treated in an extraordinary way.
God is God. When we have a relationship with Him we need to use our freedom wisely and to live as an extraordinary person lives. Don’t look around and copy others. Look up and copy God.
When we return to God He returns to us.
If we could see ourselves as God sees us our lives would be so different. We would be extraordinary.
Judges 6:16, God says,
“And I will be with you.”
The question is “will you be with God?”
Thanks Andy Stanley. Great message.
Don’t waste your freedom. Stop looking around and comparing yourself to others. Step away from reading this, look up and follow after God. Go be extraordinary.
Keep the smile going.
God bless you!
In His Grip,
