Whoever desires to become great among you, let him be your servant. And whoever desires to be first among you, let him be your slave—just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many. Matthew 20:26-28 (NKJV) Are you living a purpose-filled life? Often we assume that we have to be rich or famous to really make a difference. It’s not true. A teenage boy was hired to collect shopping carts at a local department store and was surprised to have to undergo over two hours of training. After his training, he could passionately communicate why his role was vitally important to the families who shopped at the store. He also …
Una Vida Simple con Propósito
El que entre ustedes quiera ser grande, deberá servir a los demás; y el que entre ustedes quiera ser el primero, deberá ser su esclavo. Porque, del mismo modo, el Hijo del hombre no vino para que le sirvan, sino para servir y para dar su vida en rescate por una multitud. Mateo 20:26-28 (DHH) ¿Está usted viviendo una vida llena de propósitos? Con frecuencia asumimos que tenemos que ser ricos o famosos para realmente marcar una diferencia. No es verdad. Un adolescente fue contratado para recoger carros de compras en una tienda local y se sorprendió al tener que someterse a más de dos horas de capacitación. Después de su entrenamiento, él pudo comunicar apasionadamente por qué su papel era de vital importancia para …
Get A New Point Of View
But David encouraged and strengthened himself in the Lord his God. 1 Samuel 30:6 (AMPC) Do you ever dread menial tasks? Most often the problem is not actually the task. It is your point of view. For example, if you dread meetings at work, your negative thoughts will cause you to feel drained. Instead, you could change your point of view so each meeting becomes an opportunity to influence others for the better. Instead of counting the minutes until it is over, you could practice giving sincere compliments and gaining influence by making people feel a bit more positive about their day. As they become drawn towards your great attitude, you may actually be able to use your influence to help them move closer to …
Obtenga un Nuevo Punto de Vista
Sin embargo, puso su confianza en el Señor su Dios, 1 Samuel 30:6 (DHH) ¿Alguna vez se ha sentido intimidado por cierto tipo de tareas? Muy con frecuencia, el problema no es realmente la tarea. Es su punto de vista. Por ejemplo, si usted teme a las reuniones en el trabajo, sus pensamientos negativos le harán sentir agotado. En cambio, usted podría cambiar su punto de vista para que cada reunión se convierta en una oportunidad para influir en los demás para mejorar. En lugar de contar los minutos para que termine, usted podría hacer cumplidos sinceros y obtener influencia haciendo que las personas se sientan un poco más positivas acerca de su día. Al hacer que ellos se sientan atraídos por su gran actitud, …
Easy And Light
For My yoke is wholesome (useful, good—not harsh, hard, sharp, or pressing, but comfortable, gracious, and pleasant), and My burden is light and easy to be borne. Matthew 11:30 (AMPC) In our verse today, Jesus said that the life He has prepared for you is easy and light. This verse is in direct conflict with many people’s beliefs about the Christian life. They think that serving God requires you to give up everything you enjoy. Their idea of serving Jesus seems more like a prison sentence than the abundant life He promised us. Of course, we will still go through difficult times in life and we need to give up our selfish desires, but serving Jesus isn’t a prison sentence. He came that we might …
