Hope week one was good for you. Keep taking those baby steps toward becoming Fit2Serve. Find some inspirational person to challenge you and/or partner with you so you can keep going strong!
Inspiration— the quality of being stimulated to creative thought or activity, or the manifestation of this. We all need to be inspired. As God divinely inspires us, we should also be challenged to inspire others to greater efforts for God’s kingdom.
This week begin to read and study and pray about how you can serve Christ by serving others. As they say, “Go whole hog” meaning commit yourself completely to this effort! You WILL feel at times like you are not making much progress but don’t quit and don’t give up! As we make small, incremental changes we will make progress. There may be setbacks but keep pressing on. Don’t give up hope because God did not give up on you. Consider the following story, laugh, and be hopeful! We will make a difference!
Two men went camping in the wilderness and got hopelessly lost. For two days they tried to find their way out, but with no success. Finally they sat down and began to get very depressed.
"It's hopeless," said one. "Hopeless, hopeless."
The other was about to agree with him, when suddenly he had a flash of inspiration. With a quick smile, he declared, "No, it's not! We're going to be rescued!"
The first man looked at him, puzzled, and said, "That's ridiculous."
The second man said, "No, you don't understand. I'm a church member!"
The first man shook his head, and said, "That doesn't make any difference."
The second said, "No, you still don't understand. I make over two hundred thousand dollars a year!" The first man was still not moved. "It's still hopeless. . ."
"No, you REALLY don't understand. I'm a church member, I make over two hundred thousand dollars a year, and I TITHE on that two hundred thousand dollars. MY PASTOR will find me!!" Source: Zeke Moore
