To Be Great In the Sight of the Lord

it's not about painting a pretty picture and giving people what they desire it's about being great in the sight of God and doing what He requires just getting by from day to day just good enough is no means by God okay to be a child of the King of Kings, our Lord Jesus Christ mediocrity is not good enough in order to pay the price to pay for the blood sacrifice of Jesus Christ the Son to pay for everything that for you God has done to be great in the sight of the Lord our God you need to aim and strive for excellence on your part to go to the next level to rise above the rest to do what is needed to be the best of the best when moving towards greatness you can't be around negativity for everything that is Godly is about positivity and if you're not about being great and reaching for higher ground God will shut you up and He will shut you down and whatever gift or ministry that you have in your heart will never truly prosper if it doesn't line up with God you need God in the mix to be acceptable in His sight you need the Holy Spirit in you when you're ready to stand upright for it's not about mankind whom you have to impress it's about what God expects from you that you need to address a mother was told one day that her child came to school with a knife yet the first thing that mother said was,"who's threatening my child's life?" she did not get it, she missed the point, she was clueless in her reply she was blind to the ramifications nor did she even realize as parents we need to be role models and teach our children right from wrong demonstrate to them how to excel, be courageous and be strong tell them and show them what it means to be excellent and great and it sure wouldn't hurt to bring them up in the Faith and if you're a leader in the church convey those traits that are right and true as it's not just God but also the congregation who have their eyes on you so reach for your full potential by turning your heart around possessing a Godly attitude as you move towards higher ground let go of that facade that you show society be real in the eyes of God and claim the victory and whatever gifts, talents or ministries that you have to impart be willing to joyfully share them with a righteousness of heart understand your position and then prepare yourself in accord to be excellent and great in the sight of the Lord
