LEADERSHIP QUOTE:
"Be a builder, not a destroyer” Unknown
A LITTLE BIT DEEPER:
This is our final quote on the theme of ENCOURAGEMENT this month. I hope you've been challenged by some of these quotes and thoughts.
Today to finish, I'm digging deep into the vault.
I have no idea if anyone said this, but it comes from a talk I've given hundreds of times using a hammer as an illustration. I saw someone do this at a camp years ago, and then I took the idea and put my own spin on it, but it's the power of a practical illustration that stuck with me all these years.
The image is of a normal hammer that has 2 sides to it:
The HEAD is used to build things.
The CLAW is used to destroy things.
See the image?
Two sides to the same tool, used for completely different things.
When I ask you the question, "Are you a BUILDER or are you a DESTROYER, just think about what side of the hammer you use more of.
Take this illustration, teach it, remember it, model it, live it.
"So speak encouraging words to one another. Build up hope so you'll all be together in this, no one left out, no one left behind. I know you're already doing this; just keep on doing it." 1 Thessalonians 5:11 (MSG)
