Another word comes to mind as we re-read yesterday's scripture passage (Matthew 15:21-28), SACRIFICE. The Canaanite woman took a bold step in crying out to Jesus. Risking her reputation, she did what ever it took to get the results she wanted. "Do what ever it takes!" That's a common statement you might hear from a successful person who is a leader in his or her industry, profession, or ministry. Sacrifice doesn't come at the end of your journey when you receive the prize or fulfill a dream. Sacrifice happens along the way and helps get you to where you want to be.
We recently asked ourselves, "Are we making the necessary sacrifices to get to where we want to be in life?" If not, then "Are we willing to do whatever it takes to get us there?" These are tough questions to ask because the answers we hear are not what we really want to hear! It's the everyday sacrifices we make through the mundane routine of life that will help us change and eventually achieve the results we are hoping or dreaming for. If you are dreaming of a better future but are not willing to make the sacrifices you need to make right now, then keep dreaming. If you are willing to make the small daily sacrifices to have a brighter future, then stop dreaming and start making the necessary sacrifices to get you to a place where you can live your dreams!
Have a great day! God bless you.
