I Don’t Want To Be…

In My Life, My Family, and My Ministry:

I don’t want to be ordinary- I want to be extraordinary.

I don’t want to be normal- I want to be abnormal.

I don’t want to fall in to the status quo- I want to break it.

I don’t want to fit in- I want to stand out.

I don’t want to be of this world- I want to be out of this world.

I don’t want to be average- I want to be above average.

I don’t want to be the same- I want to be different.

I don’t want to be satisfied- I want to be hungry.

I don’t want to be dull, boring, or cold- I want to be on fire.

I don’t want to be apathetic- I want to be passionate.

I don’t want to be lukewarm- I want to be burning.

I don’t want to get by- I want to thrive.

I don’t want to set limitations- I want to break them.

I don’t want to dream- I want to do.

I don’t want to play it safe- I want to risk it all.

I don’t want to fall short- I want to exceed the expectations.

I don’t want to fail- But I’d rather try and fail, than to have never tried at all.

But in all these things:

I must decrease- so that He must increase.

And if He is the One increasing- all of this is more than possible.

And I will not fail- I will be victorious.
