 “This act of personal surrender is called many things: consecration, making Jesus your Lord, taking up your cross, dying to self, yielding to the Spirit. What matters is that you do it, not what you call it. God wants your life - all of it. Ninety-five percent is not enough."

Rick Warren

Take some time to imagine the scene where you and God review your life together. What single step could you take today to most minimize the regret factor at the end of your life?"

Ready, Aim, Fire

DateSaturday, May 30, 2009 at 5:33AM

 

"Being ready means that someone is prepared, and able. You can have a great opportunity come along, and if you jump in unprepared, or unable to complete it for whatever reason, you will fail.

"Aim" has to do with focus. It has to do with purposeful, goal-oriented action that knows where the energy and resources are being spent and therefore spent well. A lot of people spend a lot of energy working, but their character is so scattered that they never focus on particular goals and outcomes and keep on track to get there.

And the last of the three, fire, means that the person is actually able to pull the trigger. She can, after getting ready and getting focused, go for it. She is not risk-aversive, if the risk makes sense. A lot of preparation has gone into the plunge, so that risk is minimized. That is the difference between an investment and gambling."

Dr. Henry Cloud; Integrity
