We are all originals. Originals bring the highest value. Be an original. We will never achieve the excellence we were created to achieve if we copy somebody else.
Pursue living on the level God has called us to live at. He calls us "Kings and Priests" and "Ambassadors for Christ". It takes our choice and decision to pursue excellence. It's provided by grace, but that doesn't make it automatic. We must cooperate.
In the Kingdom of God, the bottom line is, if you don't quit, you win. Hallelujah!
I also wanted to post the vision I had in school yesterday. I was sitting behind Rick, Matthew and Kevin. For just a few seconds, I saw them each as bushes. They were being pruned by the Gardener's hands. He was being so very careful while moving the branches of each one of them around and carefully checking the leaves. He had pruning shears in His hands and never clipped much, just here and there, here and there. It's a common analogy, but what struck me was the care that the Gardener was using. It was obvious that He wasn't in any hurry, and didn't feel rushed at all. These bushes are important to Him. They aren't just a responsability, but a joy and a love of His.
