frog finesse
lily circle green bump leaps—flying through air, flinging her whole self forward with one grand thrust—a royal proclamation of God’s creativity, wisdom, and beauty.
no one jumps like the frog!
zoom in on these propelling frog legs, made with denser muscle fibers and other special features that make a frog capable of leaping like no other creature on earth. frog, known for her strange leg strength, sings or rather croaks a frequency of God’s glory that no other animal created can.
the frog’s ability to jump unique & unusual is given from above just like from above an unusual & unique way is given each & every one of us.
everyone has some sort of special strength!
maybe great ideas come easily to you, or you’re able to fix anything. maybe you can pick up other languages without trouble, or you’re really good with numbers. maybe you can paint murals or run marathons. maybe you can make anyone feel at home by being friendly or you can improvise music.
we all have a frog leg.
if you’re not sure what your unique capability is, ask those in your life. they’ll know.
whatever your frog leg is—that attribute custom cut to you—use it well for the glory of God. can you whip up a mean pie? then bake your heart out. can you crack home runs? then win the derby. can you sing like an angel? belt it.
whatever your gift, don’t neglect it.
use it!
and remember, whatever your file cabinet of excuses could be (no time, i’m a mom, not good enough, inexperienced, no money, etc), God’s Grace is on you to leap!
imagine a frog who never jumped. now that would just be wrong. God didn’t give the frog hind legs for nothing!
so jump!
give God your all with what He’s given you. steward that special something to be what He gave it into the earth to be. don’t quench the image of God in you but let what He deposited into the earth through you be sown.
for the glory of the Son, shine!
let your gift leap!!
