What do you like to do?
What are your talents?
What is your strength….your greatest ability?

God put that in you….
that’s why you are good at it.

Are you maximizing that or those gifts?

Stirring something up keeps the ingredients mixed.

It creates flavor and fulfills the intent of the recipe.

 

Read that last phrase again….
“fulfills the intent of the recipe.”

 

Are you fulfilling the intent of the recipe Your Creator put together in you             to flavor the world as only you can do???

 

Stir up that gift.

Put it to use.

Continually.

It is the method to become the
“man in full” God intended for you to be.

No excuses for failing.

 

Make an effort to stir others up.

 

It’s not intruding in their lives….
it’s getting involved to help them fulfill their intended use.

It’s what the Coach who drove you hard, saw in you…and pushed you to be.

It’s what a teacher may have pushed you to fulfill….to your discomfort.

 

John Greenleaf Whittier wrote this…
“Of all the sad words of tongue and pen, the saddest are these….
“what might have been”.

It was used by a sportswriter to describe Mickey Mantle once. As great as the Yankee outfielder was, he was plagued by injuries his whole career and therefore did not accomplish what he might have.

Ernest Hemingway committed suicide at the age of 61.

John Kennedy died at 46.

Tiger Woods has seemingly had his career ended at 40.

I urge you to consistently be ….
and work aspirationally to become all you were and are created to be.

Determine with intentionality that
the sad phrase mentioned above will never be said of you.

Stir up your gifts.
