Consistency is the Key (Photo)

I recently had an encounter that made an incredible impact on me. A person made a simple comment. It was one of those comments made that wasn’t really supposed to shake your world or give you any great insight about yourself ~ but this one did.

It was simply this… ‘You guys are so consistent’.

Consistent is not anything that I ever considered myself. Eccentric? Maybe. High Strung? Definately. Passionate? Absolutely. But never consistent.

However, consistency is what really makes the difference when it’s all said and done. It’s the thing that will keep you moving when things aren’t looking good. It’s the thing that will get you out of bed when you’d rather run away from the world. It’s the thing that makes you say ‘I WILL’ when everyone else says ‘YOU CAN’T’. It is really more necessary in our lives than I ever imagined before.

I guess that’s really the key… it is consistency. Lots of people get hot for a little while and cool off as quick as they heated up. Many have great ideas until the implementation of those ideas cause sacrifice, pain or discomfort. The key to success is the ability to be consistent with those things that are important to you.

I want to encourage you today… get consistent. Whatever it is that you are passionate about… get consistent. Start with small consistent steps in the right direction and, before you know it, you’ll be changing this world!

You got it in you! Be encouraged and keep walking!

Consistency is the key!

About theplaceaz

The Place is a non-denominational Christian community centered on the faith, love and hope of Jesus Christ. Many wonder about the name and why 'The Place' was chosen to be the representative title of this community. 'The Place' is actually the English translation for the Hebrew name of God ~ "Ha'Makom". Through further study into this name, we began to understand that God is in all places at all times (omnipresent), but still has the ability to inhabit a single place. And not to be 'in' or 'at' a place, but He actually becomes THE PLACE. If we talk about a PLACE of an object, we are talking about that which underlies it and supports it. As we built this ministry, our goal was that we would be that place ~ the place where God would come and underlie and support... the place where His omnipresence would become present. We are a simple community who would rather do a few things great, then a lot of things mediocre. With this in mind, we've narrowed the entire vision of the ministry into three simple words ~ Faith, Hope and Love.
