Lessons Learned
Who do you think you are? – You are your own
limiting factor. Over the weekend, I
heard a brother explaining how even though fleas can leap up to eighteen
inches, if you keep one in a container with a ceiling as low as six inches for
a period of time, when you remove the container, it will only be able to leap
as high as the height of that container.
The limitations are self-imposed.
Going back to the original question, who do you think you are? Do you think of yourself as a talented,
empowered child of God? Why not?
