Can we count on you?
by Emmanuella Ellis Men have lived lives They have made names for themselves and set out pathways They have made impacts on people, economies, and societies Their time on earth they have not wasted They have done things that others could only imagine Great men have walked on the surface of the earth and achieved amazing goals The greatest of them are those who fulfilled God’s purpose for their lives They did not have the highest IQ Not all of them were princes or princesses, beautiful or handsome Not all had great rich lives, perfect health or strength Not all had rosy lives, having all they wanted or needed Some had no limbs or all their body parts functioning as expected Not all had academic qualifications Not all were famous people Some of these men have stood on platforms before thousands of people With voices heard across miles and by millions While others were hardly noticed These men might have deviated from the standards of the world and seem not to have belonged to the world But they have changed lives with their actions, words and deeds Maybe with a smile, a greeting, a helping hand Others have laid down their lives, forgone the pleasures of the world, let go of certain dreams and aspirations They did not fail their generation They were different people, living different lives, at different locations, under different circumstances, belonging to different races or gender Though different, they had common things They were human and not perfect None was qualified for all had weaknesses They all knew God and put HIM first They made a decision as to whom they would serve and live for They pursued God and not the things of the world They may not have been great in the eyes of the world but they were in the eyes of the one who really matters, God. Greatness is defined by the lives you impact, the problems you solve and the need you address, however little in accordance with the will of God. Do not fail your generation Emmanuella Ellis currently resides in Montreal, Canada. Emmanuella has a passion for writing and encouraging others on their walk with Christ. 2015 Emmanuella Ellis Article Source: http://www.faithwriters.com |
