You Get What You Put Into It!
jeff March 11th, 2008
During weekday mornings I listen to a Hollister, CA based radio station via iTunes. It’s a noncommercial contemporary Christian station called Air1 that conducts pledge drives twice each year. Their company president was just on asking for donations and said something that really struck a chord.
It’s not necessarily a profound Christian statement, although I can see it’s relevance in a path following Christ, but rather a great rule to live by.
You Get What You Put Into It.
How obvious yet how often forgotten or worse ignored.
I look at my life, my relationships with family and friends, my work, my play, and I feel like a lazy bum. It’s not that I haven’t been successful in work but I am no where near my potential, AND I KNOW IT!
A look at my relationship with my wife and kids shows me how far from WOW I am. Everyone needs a WOW in their life. You know, after a hard physical days work your give it a “Wow, I’m tired.” or after a softball game it’s “Wow, that was a great game.”
or “WOW!” and you see as if you’ve been blind.
When’s the last time you said “WOW, that was great!”?
When’s the last time you laughed so hard you clutched your stomach and fell to the floor?
When’s the last time you felt like you gave your all and were satisfied with your day?
It’s been a while.
You Get What You Put Into It.
God promises to return to you ten fold what you give. Do you believe it?
I always thought of that in contributions to the church, tithing and such. I now wonder if it’s not a promise for everything in life.
