“Don’t ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive, and go do it. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.”
Howard Thurman
What makes you come alive? One person ask it this way, "What is that thing that when you do it, you feels God's pleasure?" Let me share some of what makes me alive, "When I dance as if no one is watching, I come alive and I feel God's pleasure". When I inspire people and see their eyes widen, I come alive and I feel God's pleasure. When I meet people and share them the hope that I have, I come alive and I feeel God's pleasure. When I meet challenges to the point of breaking, I come alive and I feel God's pleasure.
I heard so many people talk about their limitations in life. They kept on talking about why they are not happy or why they can't do what will make them happy. Well let me tell you folks, this world is full of people who feels the same way. There are so many people who are caged by their own mind and caged by their own will. They have not come alive and are satisfied with being dead.
This world applluads those that come alive yet it is afraid to come alive itself. Sadly, some people have not really tasted what it is to live.
Paul, the apostle said, "For me to live is Christ and to die is gain." He came alive because he has found who can make him live and he said even further that even if he dies it is gain. "I have run the race..", he said.
Have you run the race? Have you even stepped in the field or just contented watching people come alive and remain dead in the grandstand?
