COT

Tim Tebow tells a story about a time he went to an awards banquet in which he was up for 6 awards and he didn’t receive a single one. He had invited a young woman that had been through a bunch of challenges in her life to be his date for the evening. When he didn’t get awarded the 6th award, he was frustrated and his mother leaned in and told him the following: 

“YOU’VE ALREADY WON TONIGHT. YOU JUST DON’T GET YOUR REWARD UNTIL HEAVEN.”
Tebow went on to say…
When we change our perspective from focusing on ourselves and shift focus to what really matters like fulfilling the needs of others, everything changes for us. For Tebow, personally, so much has changed since he learned to shift focus. In life, it’s hard to keep perspective because we’ve got a society that tells us it’s all about us. It’s all about fame, fortune, and power. I’m here to tell you that life is not about any of those things at all. Those things are great and you can use them to create change and influence others, but they are not the epitome of success or achievement. 
SUCCESS IS NOT ABOUT MONEY, FAME, AND POWER. IT’S ABOUT THE DIFFERENCE YOU CAN MAKE IN SOMEONE ELSE’S LIFE.

One of my favorite verses from the Bible that always gets me in the right mindset when it comes to perspective is Romans 5:8. While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. That truth has made the biggest difference in my life. It challenges me to live life with an eternal perspective and to seek out whose life God may choose to use me to make a difference in because of the amazing difference Christ has made in my life.

I hope this COT challenges you to seek the same in your life, to put aside focusing on yourself so much and ask God to help you make a difference in someone else’s life today. – “He is first and I am second.”
