NEVER despise the days of humble beginnings! The important thing isn't to do something GREAT but to START. Starting is the one single thing that freaks out many would-be great men/women of this world. Many keep on living in dreamland and coming up with endless dreams about the great things they will one day do but that's where it all ends. They never START! Yet, as my friend Sudip Thiagi discovered, the secret to any achievement worth mentioning lies in ceasing to just dream and to start doing.
For example, if you
wanted to start an orphanage, you don't have to start by doing a $100 million
fundraiser for a super complex with a school and children's hospital. You can
begin just by buying a textbook for that disadvantaged kid who lives down the street
in your neighbourhood. It seems a little thing but all great things are simply
small things multiplied several times over. I once shared this very example
with a friend of mine who dreamt of starting a children's home. I let her know
that if she did that, she would have given Jesus the little boy's lunch of five
loaves and two fish and then she would
watch Him feed the five thousand men. You may be familiar with this
Bible story in Luke 9:10-17 where Jesus used a little boy's food to feed a
multitude. Indeed, the 5,000 must be fed but the little boy MUST surrender his
little lunch for the Lord to multiply.
However big your
dream might be, you can always start out a portion of it with the little you
have at your disposal right now. The important thing is to start and
consistently keep going and you will get to your desired destination. I am very
sure that when you do this, even God will notice your faithfulness in the
little things and will without doubt download torrents of blessings to multiply
your efforts.
