Be true to who you are
Acts 6:2
“So the Twelve gathered all the disciples together and said, “It would not be right for us to neglect the ministry of the word of God in order to wait on tables.”
The greatest men and women in history accomplished things that were too big for them. In fact to become great means you will need to face great circumstances that are beyond you. Tasks so great that you feel dwarfed by the size of its magnitude and the complexities of pulling it off.
So how did the apostles solve this problem and move forward?
They called a full church meeting. They didn’t issue a preconceived idea. They didn’t impose a plan.
* They came and faced the problem. Finding who to blame was not important. Finding who to blame is so often no more than abdicating any responsibility to bring a solution.
* They held on to their calling. Not everything in your heart should be tried. Not every desire fulfilled. Not every dream should be followed. Not every request agreed to. Not every need met by you personally.
There’s nothing more regretful than getting through years of your life and realise you’ve gone down the wrong path.
You may have reached the top of the ladder but realise the ladder is leaning on the wrong wall.
As we get older dreams do change. But our primary destiny and dream will remain the same. Yet along the way we pick up other dreams, ideas and goals, feelings that seem so amazing that we just have to have that thing. However as we grow closer to God knowing His heart and mind we find that the things that matter to Him will matter more and more to us. Simply put we may need to let go of some tasks, some ideas, some feelings and give no more time to those thoughts. We need to say “It would not be right for us to do that”.
