Time to add value

When coming out of the lockdown it might be time for you to add more value to life.

Have you ever thought about the value you bring to a situation or a task?

Most of us are people on their own, not exactly feeling to be bunded or united with like minded spirits. Even several people who are member of a church, normally go to the church on Sunday but really do not take much time to have a long conversation or even to meet each other around a meal.

In our Christadelphian community, we have the custom to have something to eat and drink together  before or after the Breaking of bread service.

The past few weeks we only had the internet meetings. Seeing each other via social media tools. Though at every meeting we also took time to share some thoughts of what happened with the kids and friends. It was a social gathering showing our unitedness as brothers and sisters in Christ.

We should know that our task should not stop there, by meeting our church members; Lots of people these days were on their own and could use some conversation. We could and still can help there to bring a smile in their life.

Perhaps it is not bad to think about how we can help others also to add value to their life.

Find on the net to read: I ‘Just’ Add Value where the writer says

Things I’m reminding myself of

As the leader its more than just modeling ways that we can add value, you need to teach it as well. Obviously you have to start with getting yourself to think of what value you’ve been adding all along and then how you can raise the bar so that you can model that. It is really difficult to have your team learn right along with you because they’ll get confused on what you’re looking for if you’re still waffling on how to do it yourself. However, you can’t just stop with getting yourself right and modeling. This is a concept that needs to be taught as well. Originally I thought I could model it and my team would start following my lead, a couple of them did but mostly it was starting to drive a gap. I looked like a Pollyanna who didn’t quite understand the “real world” yet. This is why I started intentionally instilling it in the team and why I need to continually drive that forward.
Shoot for the moon and you’ll land among the stars. I truly find this phrase so very annoying but it is sort of true in this instance. If you’re always striving to add value and create value for others and then you get to a point that you just can’t get there, you can feel defeated. You just can’t force yourself to find the way you can add value to cleaning a toilet or creating the presentation or whatever it is, you’ll land in the world of just.
When you’re truly trying to find motivation to elevate it is frustrating to land there. However will have completed what you needed to do. You’ll just get the toilet cleaned or the presentation will just be average. Sometimes just completing something is all you can muster and I would say that is a pretty good worst case scenario. If it is done, sometimes that can be good enough.

Ability (part 4) Thought about the ability to have ability

God’s Abundance in Your Life


And God is able to make all grace abound toward you, that you, always having all sufficiency in all things, may have an abundance for every good work.

    When you relate to God you always deal with abundance, for God does nothing in half measures! This is true regarding His grace.

The Lord is not miserly when it comes to providing grace to His servants. When you seek to perform a good work that God has asked you to do, you will always find an ample supply of God’s grace to sustain you.

If you begin to lose heart in the work you are doing, God’s grace upholds you and gives you the love for God and His people you require in order to continue.

When you face criticism and are misunderstood, God’s grace enables you to forgive your accusers and to sense God’s pleasure even when others do not understand what you are doing.
When you make mistakes in the work God has appointed you to do, God’s grace forgives you, sets you back on your feet, and gives you strength to continue the work.
When you complete the task God gave you and no one expresses thanks for what you have done, the Father’s grace surrounds you, and He reminds you that you have a heavenly reward where everything you have done in the Lord’s service will be remembered.

    God does not promise to provide all you need for your dreams and projects. He does assure you that, for every good work you attempt, you will never face a shortfall of His grace in order to successfully complete the task God has given you.
