The Wealth of Hard Work: A Birthday Blessing from Proverbs 10:4

lastwordrecovery

“A lazy person will end up poor.
    But a hard worker will become rich.”

(Proverbs 10:4)

You are a good worker and find great satisfaction in productivity. The riches you gain from your work are far more valuable than mere money.

Your work experience has taught you discipline, patience, and problem-solving techniques which are useful in every area of your life.

Your work ethic is exceptional. From this birthday verse, you can be assured that wealth is promised, both in monetary gain and personal growth. These will carry you through life with a sense of security and confidence. 

You possess a treasure trove of knowledge that comes from hard work. Not only does it enhance your performance, but it also makes you an expert in your field. 

The wealth of work is not always reflected in paychecks or bank balances, but God has a way of multiplying whatever you have in order to make good on His promise.

I also did this so you could tell your children and grandchildren. Tell them about the miracles I did. Then all of you will know that I am the Lord. (Exodus 10:2)

You are a gifted speaker when you feel passionate about the topic you are presenting. Your sense of gratitude for the things God has done for you is revealed in the joyful way you talk about Him.

You understand that as you expound upon topics such as healing, deliverance, and mercy, your words deliver hope and joy to those who are listening.

Gathering with family and friends to celebrate the wonderful changes Jesus has made in your life is one of your most enjoyable pastimes. You give all credit to God, who called you out of darkness and into His wonderful light.

Redefining Perfection: Growing Into Your Full Potential

lastwordrecovery

A tiny green tomato on the vine is a perfect tomato, although it does not have the color, flavor, or texture of a fully ripened tomato. The tiny green fruit is perfect, but it is not yet useful for its intended purpose. If it remains on the vine, the perfect green tomato will grow into its full potential. And throughout each stage of its growth, it will continue to be perfect.

Thus, we conclude that perfection is about potential. Perfection has little to do with current behavior or ability, but a lot to do with our mindset. Perfection is a state of being which maintains continuous momentum toward progress.

Jesus’ Call to Perfection: Rethinking What ‘Perfect’ Really Means

lastwordrecovery

If Jesus calls us to be perfect, but we say, “Oh no. I’m not perfect. Let’s be realistic, I will never be perfect,” then we are dismissing His invitation to venture into a new mindset and a leveled-up form of existence.

Before we can take that leap of faith though, we need to address this issue of perfection and what it really means. Can we trust God to bring us to a point of perfection? Can we believe that Jesus wasn’t just using performance hyperbole when He said we could be perfect like the Father?

Declaring Christ’s Finished Work: Living Philippians 1:6 Today

lastwordrecovery

“Being confident of this very thing, that he, who hath begun a good work in you, will perfect it unto the day of Christ Jesus.” (Philippians 1:6)

It feels awkward to say we are perfect. We aren’t quite sure how to align the character qualities of honesty and humility with such a bold statement. It seems like a brag and a lie.

But, if we remove the dimension of time, we can most assuredly say that somewhere in time, it has happened. Therefore, we step outside of time and claim it now. We call out what God has promised and continue declaring it until the truth becomes our reality.

Learning to Live with Imperfection While Longing for More

lastwordrecovery

We are perfectionistic by nature and refuse to give ourselves permission to fail. Therefore, we say, “I’m not perfect,” to soften the impact when crashing into our own imperfections.

We also use the phrase, “I’m not perfect,” to preface a judgmental statement like, “I know I’m not perfect, but I would never do what he did.”

We long for perfection. This is a normal desire, since we believe that it will be our reality someday. But what do we do in the time between now and then?

How can we be perfect in such an imperfect world?

Jesus’ Call to Perfection: Can We Really Be Perfect?

lastwordrecovery

“Therefore, be perfect, even as your Father who is in heaven is perfect.” Matthew 5:48

Why Jesus would make such an outrageous statement? How could we ever hope to be perfect?

Yet, based on this verse, if we claim that we are not perfect, we are speaking in direct opposition to these words of Jesus. We certainly don’t want to do that!

Since we believe that the words of Jesus are our truth, His invitation to be perfect sparks our curiosity and draws us into its multi-dimensional mystery. If He said it, it must be something reasonable and attainable. At least it is, somewhere in time.

When God said, “Let there be light,” He was speaking into the darkness. Therefore, when Jesus invites us to be perfect, He is speaking into our imperfections, calling for a manifestation of our original design.
