THE SEED
‘Be devoted to one another in love…” Romans 12:10, NIV
Ponder on the people that God has set in your life. They’re not there unintentionally or by accident. God send people to you for a specific reason. We ought to live with this thought that “I am here to help and lift people. I’m here to assist them with succeeding.” Don’t go around continuously thinking, what help can the person do for you or what food can the person bring to the table for you or what they have to offer you. No, we should have the attitude, “What can I do for them? How can I help them come up higher? Can I teach them something I know? Can I connect them with someone who can help them?” Don’t make the mistake of going through life ingrown. Instead, be a dream releaser. Use your talent, your influence and your experience not just to accomplish your goals, but to help release a dream in someone else. Remember, there is nothing more rewarding than to lay down at night knowing that you helped someone else become better. You not only fulfilled your purpose for that day, you did your best. It may have just been a two-minute phone call where you encouraged someone; but when you
live as a dream releaser, you’ll see your own dreams come alive as well!
PRAYER
Father, show me ways to be a dream releaser and help others to rise up higher. Help me to use my influence to encourage others.
