God reminded me that when I begin to condition to go overseas to play professional basketball, I had to withdraw and let go of certain people and abandon certain habits in order that I rose to play at the next level of competition. I had to let go of everything that would be a hindrance of me playing at that level. Therefore spiritually, we must be willing to leave behind anything that will cause us to stumble. I challenge each of you to STOP shrinking trying to fit in with others, but challenge others to RISE that they might fit in with you. And remember that JESUS, not man, is the standard to measure ourselves by. WE MUST BE WILING TO LET GO OF WHATEVER AND WHOMEVER SO THAT GOD WILL GET HIS VERY BEST OUT OF US! SIMPLY, BE GREAT IN GOD!!!
