TOILING UPWARD By Noel Serrano from the Gala Foundation 2020

Are you Toiling for the Kingdom? I came across this quote again this week - The heights by great men reached and kept were not attained by sudden flight, but they, while their companions slept, were toiling upward in the night by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow You usually hear or read this quote when someone graduates from college or university. It is also heard when someone achieves their dream after working hard and long to get there. I started to ponder on what heights can I reach in my prayer life, my ministry or simply reading my bible more if I put in extra hours and effort into doing or learning more. If I became more intentional in pushing myself to reach my potential so that God can use me to advance His Kingdom, would I be fulfilling my purpose here on earth? How much more impactful our lives are for God’s Kingdom when we wholeheartedly choose to serve Him and do His will. Be all that you can be – join God’s Army.
