“Therefore I remind you to stir up the gift of God which is in you through the laying on of my hands.” 2 Timothy 1:6
One of the saddest things would be to come to the end of life and wonder what we could have become.
“What if I hadn’t neglected to use the gift that God gave me?
What if I had broken away from the people who were causing me to compromise?

The question is, do you want it badly enough?
You have to go after what God has for you.
Being passive and indifferent will keep you from your destiny.
Stir your passion up and make the decision, “I’m going to pursue God and all that He has put in my heart.
Prayer:
“Father,
Thank You for entrusting us with gifts and talents.
Thank You that we have greatness in us because You put it there.
Help us to stir up our faith and let the passion become a flame.
We are going to take steps to grow the gift You gave us.
We’re going to come up higher. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”

Some interpret "globalization" to mean the global reach of communications technology and capital movements, some think of the outsourcing by domestic companies in rich countries, and others see globalization as a byword for...
