Nelson Mandela was a great man–a Titan of our generation. The key to his greatness was his disarming humility and a willingness to see the big picture. For those who perhaps don’t appreciate just how great this man was, I highly recommend The Long Walk To Freedom.
Even the greatest among us have an expiration date, yet the legacy of great men and women like him will live forever.

Like Ishmael and Isaac, sometimes your miracle and your mistake can grow together under the same roof. Things can be so bad in one area, yet so good in another. Today God may be saying to you, Because of the destiny I have in mind for you, you’ve got to put this thing out of your life. It’s painful letting go of something your flesh creates, but you have no choice. Here are your options: You can be moved by their pleading and miss God’s best. Or you can say, As much as I love you, I love God more. When you’re willing to walk away from something you love because you love God more, that’s called the sacrifice of praise (Heb 13:15). And when you offer it up to God, you position yourself to receive the fullness of His blessing in your life.
