Give big, Reach high and Live large.
It’s a great three point plan for a successful life.
Give Big
The stuff of life is about giving. The impact you have on others is the only thing you can do that will last. If you spend your life “getting” you will end up losing. If you take the risk of “giving” you are guaranteed to win. Regardless of how it may look to you, if you abandon yourself life opens to opportunities beyond your imagination.
Jesus said, “whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it.”
Reach High
Complacency is the enemy of accomplishment. Oral Roberts, arguably one of the most successful leaders of Faith in America, had a sign in his office: “make no little plans here”. Little plans are much the same as no plans. Reaching high requires a strong measure of faith in a God that is able to partner will our efforts when we go beyond our own resources and abilities. We will never know what God has laid up for us unless we are willing to take big risks to do things well beyond ourselves. Don’t be constrained by what you hold in your hand. Reach high. God will meet you there.
“Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us” Ephesians 3:20
Live Large
Finding the purpose for which you were born is “living large”. Finding it, however, is only possible when you are reaching ever-higher. Living large is a life of pursuit, not the attainment of a single objective. It’s more than a list of victories. A large life is one that is at peace with God but knows there is much more, no matter how much has been achieved. While it may include fortune and fame, a large life may be challenged with lack and failure. Living large is about a journey that is filled with peace, joy and love. The favor and blessing of God provide energy, surprise and success, sometimes where we least expected it.
“…he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him.” Hebrews 11:6
Don’t waste your life. Give Big, Reach High, Live Large
