A thousand mile journey starts with one step. This had been my life quotation since when I was in my elementary days. I have actually read it on one of the bookmarks my friend gave me. I am just so inspired about what a single step can do to my life. Until high school whenever I am on a competition I always have in mind “A thousand mile journey starts with one step” just a single step and you can go further. Always remember that it is impossible for you to start and attain great things if you don’t have that enough courage to take a single step. Imagine a baby, the time he did his first step. Imagine the gladness it gave to his parents knowing that their precious baby is now starting to walk. Again just with one step.
There are a lot of people in the world today who misses many great things in life just because they don’t know how to do the first step or rather afraid to do so. These are people who are bound because of their lack of courage. People who are sleepless because they don’t know what to do and their ignorance always fall into deep misery just because of their fear.
Queen Elizabeth I, the greatest queen and the first lady ruler of England. Imagine if she didn’t accept the throne, because of the people who questioned her abilities. Imagine if she didn’t do her first step to accept the responsibilities of a queen regent.
Friend, God has many things in store for you. All you have to do is just do the first step and He will do the rest. There are people today that because of their faith in God they become so tremendous that they really impacted the world. Darlene Zschech of Hillsong Australia considered as one of the most influential worship leader of today. Joel and Victoria Osteen of Lakewood Church, the largest church in United States of America. Another is Rick Warren who authored the Purpose Driven Life. Imagine the inspiration Rick gave to many. There is Cesar Castellanos of Bogota, Colombia the senior pastor of the largest church in the world. There are actually many other that if I’m going to write them one by one I’m gonna be writing a book already. One thing is sure, try knowing the history of these people and you’ll find out all of them started with just one small step of faith.
All you have to do is just do your first step. What is the first step? Know the one who created you. By doing so you’ll see great things will come upon you. All you have to do is just accept Him as your Lord and Savior. Live for Him, Worship Him. Knowing the hands that created you allows you to know more about what you really are. God is so good that He is actually the one who did the first step for us to be able to live this life to the fullest. John 3:16 says, “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, so that whosoever believe on him will not perish but will have eternal life. He did his part, now it’s your turn to do your part. What are you waiting for? Do your first step now and grab the things God has prepared for you.
