It's The Little Things That Count

One of the most essential things you need to do for yourself is to choose a goal that is important to you. Perfection does not exist -- you can always do better and you can always grow.
Les Brown (1945-, American speaker, author, trainer, motivator,)

Eph 4:14-16
As a result, we are no longer to be children, tossed here and there by waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, by craftiness in deceitful scheming; but speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in all aspects into Him who is the head, even Christ, from whom the whole body, being fitted and held together by what every joint supplies, according to the proper working of each individual part, causes the growth of the body for the building up of itself in love. NASU

We are to grow, but growth for growth sake is not fruitful. Just because something is big, it doesn’t make it better. A big crowd doesn’t make it right, as we have seen in many overnight spiritual sensations, and big names fall don’t they. What causes all of this confusion? People do. They do not look at what they are standing on until it begins to sink, and then comes disappointment and hurt.

Actually it is the small things that count. Each of us individually, makes up the “we” of the church, and not the “me” mentality of a country club. We individually are to help one another stay focused on the goal of growth in Christ, and keep each other out of the tossing and changing waves of the sinking boat that the world is in.

When we let Christ be our “Head,” He will fit us together properly, and hold us together spiritually. Now listen to what Paul say’s in Ephesians 4:16, he says that God will supply what each individual part, or what each of us needs, to grow. Hallelujah and the best part is what we each are being built into, the precious and everlasting Love of Christ our Lord, a boat that will never sink, guaranteed…God Bless.
