The scariest thing in the world is to go through life without really doing anything that matters. So many of us are so focused on "being good" that we don't actually do good. We must get out of our comfort zone, get rid of our distractions, and and get to work doing good. Because it takes all of us to build something truly great.

It's easy to feel alone when we're struggling through life. But, the truth is that we aren't alone. Other people have been where we are, but we need people to share their story with us to help us along. When we refuse to get out of our comfort zone and share our experiences, we rob people of the opportunity to find Jesus. Our story can change someone else's story when we open up about where we've been.

Serving others is not optional, we are commanded by God to show love to our neighbors by serving them. Serving is our rent for being on Earth. Serving not only brings joy to others, but brings meaning to our lives.

Meals slow things down. Some of us don’t like that. We like to get things done. But, meals force you to be people oriented instead of task oriented. And, let’s be honest, people don’t want to be your projects. Sharing a meal isn’t the only way to build relationships, but it is one of the best ways.

Most of us struggle to listen. We think we know what people need. But, we can learn what people truly need if actually take time to listen to what we say. If we want to bless the people in our lives, we need to start by actually listening.
