I am GOING TO exercise.
I am GOING TO eat better.
I am GOING TO declutter my home.
I am GOING TO ____________.
What are you GOING TO do today?
GOING TO
are great words because there is no accountability
but only to yourself,
as I know firsthand
because tomorrow will be the day that I will follow through or maybe not.
What if we all did that one thing
even if we didn't feel like it
even if no one wasn't looking
even if it just doesn't feel fair,
yet we do it ANYWAY?
Mother Teresa said it best~
"People are often unreasonable, irrational, and self-centered~
FORGIVE THEM ANYWAY!
If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives~
BE KIND ANYWAY!
If you are successful, you will win some
unfaithful friends and some genuine enemies~
SUCCEED ANYWAY!
If you are honest and sincere people may deceive you~
BE HONEST & SINCERE ANYWAY!
What you spend years creating, others could destroy overnight~
CREATE ANYWAY!
If you find serenity and happiness, some may be jealous~
BE HAPPY ANYWAY!
The good you do today, will often be forgotten~
DO GOOD ANYWAY!
Give the best you have, and it will never be enough~
GIVE YOUR BEST ANYWAY!
In the final analysis, it is between
you & GOD.
It was never between you and them anyway."
Therefore~
"Whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the LORD JESUS,
giving thanks to GOD the FATHER through HIM" (Colossians 3:17).
All because
JESUS DID IT ANYWAY~
"yet not my will, but yours be done" (Luke 22:42)
What do you need to do ANYWAY?
Let's FAST from the weight of
GOING TO
by just DOING IT ANYWAY,
whatever your IT may be
because
that is
"WHAT MERCY DID FOR ME"
