Are You In Your Lane?

If your gift is serving others, serve them well. If you are a teacher, teach well. If your gift is to encourage others, be encouraging. If it is giving, give generously. If God has given you leadership ability, take the responsibility seriously. And if you have a gift for showing kindness to others, do it gladly. (Romans 12:7, 8 NLT)

Today's Prayer
Lord, I see so many people really trying hard to do their best. Today I pray that You help them be the best they can be. Encourage that teacher in the classroom dealing with social and environmental issues. Inspire that young child to believe they can do more than their circumstances suggest. Renew the energy of that person being of service to others despite not receiving appreciation for doing so. Direct that leader to make sound and wise decisions in the best interest of the followers. Anoint that person You've called to minister to Your people rather it be from the pulpit, the studio, or the theatre. I pray for the best in others. Let me be an aid in bringing out the best in others around me. In Your name I pray. Amen and so it is.

So, You Wanna Be 
If you want to be a ballerina
Then you must dance with grace and precision
If you want to be an athlete
Develop the technical and mental skills of that position
If you desire to fly rocket ships to outer space
Learn to calculate the speed of light as it travels from place to place
A parent or a loving spouse
Compliments and encouraging words should fill your mouth
A teacher or spreader of good news
Roll up your sleeves and get some good walking shoes

Be the best at what you do
Bring honor, integrity, and commitment with you
Sing that song
Preach that word
Cultivate that garden
Cook with fresh herbs

Whatever it is, I believe you can
Be the best woman, child or man
