Spiritual Giants vs Spiritual Babies Part 2

Spiritual Giants are an amazing bunch! They speak of different things compared to the babies. You know the babies when they speak about there the 'lesser' things. The babies love to dominate a conversation and talk about the accomplishments and titles they have earned. They talk about themselves and they give little regard for other people. They like to parade themselves and have other people praise them. They are unlike the giants.

But the giants are much different. They speak about vision and not compromising no matter what. They talk about the burden to reach the lost and what is at stake when we don't rise up to the challenge. The talk about our capacity to make a difference and do great things for Christ and how we can win the victory no matter what the odds. They talk about rising above and overcoming and peservering no matter what! They love to engage in dialouge and talk of the vision a neighbor has. They offer a listening ear and a humble heart and words of encouragement. Oh, how I love to be around giants. I can be around them for hours! You see nothing but love and joy and peace in them. They want to touch the very heart of God! They want to only glorify his name and not be noticed one bit. They don't care for the praise of man or the applause of people. They work and sweat and give it their all and than in the end, they say that can't talk any credit for the fruit. They are humble and only want to point to God to take the credit. They truly deny the self and crucify pride.

To all the giants! We see Christ in you and are inspired! You thrill us! You give us a passion and hope and zeal to change the status quo. You remind us that things can change for the better and that there can be success no matter what. We love you!
