Step back and look at your last 24 hours.
What have you done? Have you been checking off the “to do” list? Have you had a productive day?
What have you been chasing?
I’ve been doing a lot of reading lately, and the one main thing that I find most interesting is that, outside of better leadership, success is best defined as how deeply you invest those around you.
As a pastor, I can justify all my work, because in the long run, it will help my team and honor God. But how well insulated am I from the very people I am called to serve? AM I justifying all the paperwork I do as an excuse to NOT get my hands dirty?
I Twitter, I blog, I send emails, I even make a couple of phone calls…but am I really investing in people?
What happens when you chase what matters?
- The back door of the church closes.
- People are more inclined to serve and be involved.
- Your organization gets a reputation for caring about people.
- God is honored.
- You begin to mirror Jesus Christ.
The simple truth is what matters to God should matter to us. God proved what mattered was PEOPLE [John 3:16].
The bank doesn’t have the right goal, but they’ve got the right idea, we should chase what matters.
Please let me know what you think matters.
