Finishing touches

“There are rooms in your world that need your special touch-your child’s classroom; your coworker’s office; your neighbor’s heart.

There are regions in your world that need inspiration-your community’s poor; your state’s policies; your nation’s leaders.

God has given you a blank check to create a better world-just sign your name.”

-from Bill Johnson’s book, “Dreaming with God”

Reading that this morning I was reminded that although I do not hang a shingle that says I am a designer, I do have a responsibility to do some designing. The place God has planted me is not a finished product. It is as though God has roughed in some of the areas and given me the options on the finishing touches. I can certainly exist in the roughed in rooms but some color and trim would be nice. Even if I am satisfied with my roughed in conditions, I still should trim it up and make it pleasant for those who might come visit my life. I need to remember that the best novel and plays have yet to be written and the best songs have yet to be sung. “The best is yet to come!” Don’t let your memories become bigger than your dreams.

God is Good!!!!
