Stop Succeeding and Be a Blessing

Stumbled upon this really brief blog, Stop Succeeding and Be a Blessing, by Ps Steve Furtick that put across a point that's been on my heart, so concisely.

This thought has been on my heart, especially for the campuses of SIngapore, or even SG as a whole, where most of everything centres around being and becoming the best future employee or richest entrepreneur upon graduation such that even CCAs (co-curricular activities) have become more CV boosters rather than life enrichment activities. Doing well in life is good! but do so with the right reasons and do so remembering the brevity of life. We are afterall, blessed to be a blessing.

As the lyrics of Hosanna by Hillsongs goes, i look forward to seeing a generation rise up to take their place in selfless faith as we all see the things God sees, and care for what He truly cares about.

"...I see a generation
Rising up to take the place
With selfless faith, with selfless faith
I see a new revival
Starting as we pray and seek
We're on our knees, we're on our knees

Bridge
Heal my heart and make it clean
Open up my eyes to the things unseen
Show me how to love like you have loved me
Break my heart for what is yours
Everything I am for your kingdom's cause
As I walk from earth into eternity
