Huge Goals

The Good News Today Is...God wants us to succeed in the goals He has set for us. This is something that I struggle with almost daily. First I ponder at great length if I understand what the goals He has set for me are. Sometimes they are right in front of my face but they seem so big and daunting that I feel I must be looking at them wrong. I must be thinking of what I want, not what God wants. Then when I'm half convinced that the goals truly are what God has in His plans for me I am overwhelmed and don't know where to start. I can rationalize that if I don't start I can't succeed, you have to be trying to do something to actually get it done. Yet sometimes the goal seems so big, how can God expect me to succeed at that? This is when I go back to my small anecdote from Mother Teresa. Yes she said, I can do nothing with three pennies (all the money she had to her name), but with God and three pennies I can do anything. Then her great ministry was born and succeeded beyond all her dreams. So to get started all you have to do is start, because with God you will succeed
