"If Not YOU...then WHO?"
"If Not NOW...then WHEN?"

I learned a great message at church today having to do with God's Will for our lives. Our pastor used an illustration about being in the God's circle, putting Him at the CENTER, and re-prioritizing our lives to allow for God to work within each of us. The short and sweet of it is this:

There are 5 basic areas of life in which God calls us to work. Work on ourselves WITH HIM to create a balanced, productive life all the while living out God's will for each of us.

WORSHIP: Do we give God the first hour of each day? Do we give God the first day of each week? Do we give God the first part of wallet? Do worship to praise, rejoice, show gratitude, and listen.

CONNECTED: Do you regularly put yourself in God's family? Don't be casual with your commitments

GROWTH: Are you growing daily in Wisdom, Stature, Spirtuality, and Relationally?

SERVICE: Are you using the gifts God gave you to make a difference in your church, community, and world?

SHARING: Are you actively and effectively sharing your faith daily?

Remembering that NOTHING is impossible for God and for those who believe, ask yourself if you align your life with the way God intends you live...what will your life look like at the end of 2009?
