Amazing

Greetings Faithful Readers,

I just finished reading the book "Mad Church Disease" by Anne Jackson (full review coming soon) and really enjoyed it. There was one quote toward the end that really grabbed my attention and I wanted to know what you thought about it.

"People are afraid to be amazing."

People are afraid to be themselves...they have played the "role" of themselves for so long they are scared to reveal who they really are and what they really think. Also, people are scared to reveal too much about their hopes...their dreams...because what people know - they can use against them. Fear can be devastating.

Amazing requires boldness. Amazing demands discipline. An amazing life honors God.

I guess the question is... are you amazing? What is holding you back from being the you that God created you to be? Are you scared? Are you waiting?

So many of us stop just short of amazing...just short of the top...just short of what we could be...

Why?
