From Facebook...
Good morning! My son shared with me a valuable visual this weekend
after burning down something his brother created (in Minecraft...coal
burns LOL) He hung his head low and cloaked his hood over his face...he
felt challenged by his brother calling him out. In that moment I asked
him to read to me about Godly sorrow versus Worldly sorrow....Godly
sorrow results in a heart that repents and changes for the
better...worldly sorrow essentially shrinks back and dies.
After pondering
(thinking about himself in light of what he read), he pulled back the
hood, picked up the controls, and proceeded to rebuild...bigger and
better than what he had broken down. heart emoticon heart emoticon #inspired
Have YOU ever felt like you were shrinking back? Have you ever
struggled with a situation and decided choosing something easier was the
way out? I saw this example and felt CONVICTED to not look for the
"easier" solution, but the "higher" solution. The solution that includes
a great benefit for ALL involved. The fruit is joy, enCOURAGEment,
enpowerment, and oddly enough a hint of surprising awe and a feeling of
fulfillment. This was all achieved in a moment of Minecraft, but the
same results tend to happen when we choose to RISE above the point of
"problem" and contribute a gift of solution for more than just
ourselves.
Now to see in what ways I can "rise" into this new day. heart emoticon

Success
My imperfections and failures are as much a blessing from God as my successes and talents. ~ Mahatma Gandhi
