I read a quote from Relevant magazine Sunday night, to a very inappreciative audience, but none the less I will say it again.
"I hate to break it to you, but if you talk big plans about your "mission" or "calling", but lack any forward motion, you are a massive tool."
(Mark Steele, RELEVANT Magazine, Issue 21)
To sit and complain about wanting more of something, but lacking any ambition to get the things that you are desiring, makes you a total loser. Because, if you truly wanted something you would invest at least some energy in an effort to get it. If you think you want something, but you lack any forward motion towards getting what you want, I would suggest that you re-evaluate what it is you think you want. You may spend time thinking about what you want, but I'm asking you what you actually do to get closer to what you want. Even things that you may want that are miles away, or things that you believe are God given desires, are you willing to even invest time in prayer or in meditation concerning those things? The first step, and really the easiest step in many ways, would be to pray about the things that you would like to see happen. You could call prayer the first step in establishing forward motion, but are you willing to give even that much? If not, you are a massive tool, and you need to get with God and adjust what it is that you are pursuing. God help us to put your priorities as our priorities, help us to put you at the forefront of our lives.
