If you’ve been in Christ for some time, there are certain things that should be considered too little for you to do for God. But as long as you decide to creep, you’ll creep. You see, all children don’t start walking at the same time; some walk before others. You carry some and they’ll want to come down to walk by themselves, while some others will cry when you try to put them down to walk on their own. One observes the people around him walking and he also wants to walk. Soon, he’s holding onto things and tries to climb everything in sight while another is comfortable to be on his mother’s back and wouldn’t sleep or be quiet in any other position. Have you ever seen such children? What makes one walk before the other is in the heart of each child; it’s in the determination of the child and not in his age. You must have heard the saying ‘Charity begins at home.’ I think it’s very true. In this context, home is where God is with you; it’s the level of your relationship with your heavenly Father.
What you’ll become in life begins with what you’ve become with your heavenly Father. When you decide you’re big, then you’re big, and that’s it! But when you assume you’re nothing, then you’re nothing. You must get to the point where you’re no longer comfortable with the mediocre life, where you’re no longer satisfied with doing small things for God. Instead you want to go all the way to do not just big things but very big things. There must be a time in your life when you should say, “No, I can’t do that for God, it’s too small!” For example, there are some offerings I’d feel ashamed to give to God. Though I’m the one giving it, I still wouldn’t be comfortable with it because I’ve decided to always give big to God.
Where are you today in your relationship with your heavenly Father? You can actually move on to a higher and better level of relationship with God. All it takes is some determination on your part.
