  Speaker 1: It's your early morning praise party. I am Sherry Maggie.
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: It's time right now for today's word. Good Enough is
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: not your destiny. Each of you should use whatever gift
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: you have received to serve others as faithful stewards of
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: God's grace in its various forms. Y'aw that's the word
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: of God. And one Peter four inted It says again,
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: each of you should use whatever gift you have received
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: to serve others as faithful stewards of God's grace in
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: its various forms. God has placed gifts and talents inside
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: each of us for the purpose of serving others. And
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: too often we have gifts lying dormant because we're not
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: taking time to develop them. We're not being disciplined to
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: study the Word of God, to grow and mature spiritually,
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: to become a better version of ourselves. Have talents that
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: are underutilized because we're comfortable right where we are. We
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: don't want to stretch, we don't want to do something
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: out of our routine. We think I'm doing good enough.
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: But good enough is not your destiny. God called you
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: the greater. Sometimes we're stuck because we're intimidated, or we're scared.
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: We let thoughts of fear and doubt talk us out
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: of moving forward and trying something new. You can't take
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: that management position, you're not qualified. You can't teach that
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: Bible study. You don't know enough. You haven't trained your voice,
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: so you can't join the worship team. All of the
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: what ifs faults come to your mind. What if I
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: try and feel What if they don't like me? What
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: if you get up there and you're embarrassed? Well, why
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: don't you turn those thoughts around? What if you get
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: up there and you succeed. What if you go to
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: a new level. What if you set a new standard
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: for your whole entire family. Don't let fear keep you
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: from your destiny. Start stretching and taking steps of faith
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: to release the gifts that God has placed on the
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: inside of you, because good enough is not your destiny. Father, God,
