How to Cure Mistakes that Still Hurt a Little Bit

Posted on by

 

The Story

Recently I picked up my granddaughter (2 ½) from daycare. Right away I noticed an Elmo Bandage on her right knee.

So, as we walked to my truck I pointed to her knee and asked, “What happened?”

 

Involving Others

In her I’m-learning-to-talk English she told me the story, “I running … I fall down on rock.”

With concern I said, “Oh my! Are you all right?”

With a tearful whimper, for affect, she answered, “It still hurts a little bit.”

 

Getting Expert Counsel

During the fifteen-minute drive to my house, she kept repeating her report of how she came to be wounded and always ended with the phrase, “It still hurts a little bit.”

I sympathised. “Well I’ll look at it when we get home, okay?”

My granddaughter said, “It still hurts a little bit.”

 

Cooperating

At home, I pulled aside half the Band-Aid and gave it a thorough grandfather examination. I discovered a tiny scratch that didn’t appear life threatening.

She informed me, “It still hurts a little bit.”

I re-covered her wound with the Elmo bandage.

 

Get Relief

That evening, after my granddaughter left,  I reviewed her crisis and her words. I prayed God would provide complete healing.

And I prayed for me because I have boo-boos. “God I know my past has been forgiven but it still hurts a little bit.”

What’s Your Passion? How I Discovered Mine

Posted on by

Follow Him

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I followed him around.

I think I finally figured out his passion.

 

It happened when he spotted a man blind from birth.

He took the man’s hand and led him away from the crowd.

They knelt.

Jesus scooped up a small amount of dirt, cupped it in his hand, spit in it, dipped two fingers into the mixture, and rubbed it on the blind beggar’s eyelids.

Then, he told the man to go and wash it off at the Pool of Siloam.

The man did what he was told.

After that he cried out, “I can see!”

Discover

It happened as his disciples observed a Canaanite woman rush toward Jesus. “Lord please,” she begged, “have mercy on my daughter!”

He didn’t say anything to her.

His disciples wanted to move her along.

Again she begged, “Lord help me!”

He looked into her eyes and said, “It isn’t right to give the children’s bread to the dogs.”

She looked into his eyes and said, “But Lord even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from the master’s table.”

“Such faith!” He smiled. “Go home your daughter is well.”

 

It happened when he entered Jericho and saw the rich tax collector Zacchaeus watching him from a sycamore tree.

Jesus said, “Come down and take me to your house.”

Zacchaeus did.

The crowd was hysterical.

Yet, Jesus’ kindness changed Zacchaeus then and forever.

Your Passion

I’ve come to realize Jesus’ passion is people.

  • You
  • Me
  • Others

I’ve come to realize my passion is Jesus.

What’s your passion?

19 Hard Things You Need To Do To Be Successful

You have to do the hard things.

  • You have to make the call you’re afraid to make.
  • You have to get up earlier than you want to get up.
  • You have to give more than you get in return right away.
  • You have to care more about others than they care about you.
  • You have to fight when you are already injured, bloody, and sore.
  • You have to feel unsure and insecure when playing it safe seems smarter.
  • You have to lead when no one else is following you yet.
  • You have to invest in yourself even though no one else is.
  • You have to look like a fool while you’re looking for answers you don’t have.
  • You have to grind out the details when it’s easier to shrug them off.
  • You have to deliver results when making excuses is an option.
  • You have to search for your own explanations even when you’re told to accept the “facts.”
  • You have to make mistakes and look like an idiot.
  • You have to try and fail and try again.
  • You have to run faster even though you’re out of breath.
  • You have to be kind to people who have been cruel to you.
  • You have to meet deadlines that are unreasonable and deliver results that are unparalleled.
  • You have to be accountable for your actions even when things go wrong.
  • You have to keep moving towards where you want to be no matter what’s in front of you.

You have to do the hard things. The things that no one else is doing. The things that scare you. The things that make you wonder how much longer you can hold on.

Those are the things that define you. Those are the things that make the difference between living a life of mediocrity or outrageous success.

The hard things are the easiest things to avoid. To excuse away. To pretend like they don’t apply to you.

The simple truth about how ordinary people accomplish outrageous feats of success is that they do the hard things that smarter, wealthier, more qualified people don’t have the courage — or desperation — to do.

Do the hard things. You might be surprised at how amazing you really are.
